Need Suggestions on 09yellow

[Brit]

I have a 09 Yellow cobalt and have not done anything to it yet. All stock. So Does anyone have any ideas how to make it look sick? anything you would have done to yours? Im a girl. Therefore i dont know much about performance but im down for some mods on the exterior and interior.

you can tint your windows. Coupe or sedan by the way? So tinting, you can fog your taillights if you want, you can either crack your headlights and paint them black or go a few steps farther and do a retrofit. Rims tires. A ground effects body kit. If you are going for yellow and black tinting everything, lowering it, with new rims, and black out your bowties.

since you live in texas i strongly suggest window tint. I lived there i know how it is to get into a hot car on a hot texas summer!

Yea darklink, its a coupe and the windows are tinted.. not even a yr old but got lifetime warranty. it does get HOT in texas so it was a must! Im thinking about getting some halos plug and play so should be easy to put on. Ill get a guy friend to help if needed. im looking for some black 17' rims. powder yellow lip?

i would get 18s you will want them later. if you can black with a yellow lip. the halos on the 2nd gens are plug and play the others require a little more wiring but are not hard

You think these look nice? i know theyre cheap but i want my first set to be cheap incase i bend them up. on the lip. i could take that somewhere to get painted yellow, yea? or i could myself?

 

[cobalt123]

what if i was to go about and paint by hubs? black. like this one chick did... would that be possible? and how would i?

 

[cobalt123]

it would work, same concept as the interior trim, the better the prep work the better it will come out. you would get a better job out of sand blasting them down and sanding then primer sanding , prime then sand again. light paint then sand, then a medium paint sand, final paint

than just spray paint them, its all about what you want out of them.

I wouldn't say pathetic. Everyone started somewhere, it's nice to see people actually trying and not just taking it to a shop. I've done a lot of reading and know a lot of the "theoretical" side (i.e. what people have said) only recently I have started to tear apart my car (not a cobalt, but anyways).

Good luck with the car!

05-10 Chevy Cobalt Halo LED Projector Headlights - Smoke

So Ive found the headlights i want. Now i should probalay buy a H1 HID conversion kit? to what maybe 80000k?

I am probly getting in over my head... alot of wiring involved?

 

[cobalt123]

8000k no 80000k lol those would look great

 

[06CobaltLS]

yea i wanted to get some halo headlights too but i heard that the 8000k bulbs are too long for the housing that they sit in. just curious if this was true?

 

[Brit]

my tails are tinted and ive never been hassled for it.

and any paint will do fine. when painting its all about the prep work.
