Want some suggestions

[BankDude]

with mine, they're noticeably different when the tails aren't engaged, but you can still see them clearly. i didn't tint mine as dark as others did

that's a picture of mine tinted
and i suggest you either lower yours OR get at LEAST upgrade the suspension. these cars (other than SS) are notorious for getting blown off the road
before fe5 + dropzones

after fe5 complete suspension and dropzones (and 17's)

do you have stickers in the lower driver's side corner of your windshield?

How much does it cost to get it lowered or upgrade the suspension?

Off the top of my head, I don't know. I'll have to look in the morning. Why do you ask?

 

[Tuner923]

i say go with blacked out head light housing instead of tinting the lens.

this is what mine look like

these are my tails, relatively dark but never gotten any problems even when i got pulled over for 94 in a 55 lol

if you do more than likely they are the inspection stickers

Those look good too. I'm guessing eBay?

 

[Tuner923]

How does one do that? Same method?

 

[BankDude]

yea i have a "pro vinyl shop" sticker just for promotion for a vendor on some forums i'm on. nothing too flashy. my complete suspension probably cost me around.....lets see

shocks - 100
struts - 190
used ss sway bar - 75
moog bushings - 7
moog endlinks - 55
strut mounts - 40
dropzones - 135

given tax on a couple things and shipping, a little over 600 bucks, plus i just bought a rear sway bar for 150, so close to 800 after everything said and done

sand paper the lights with fine paper, wash and dry, night shade, dry, nightshade, dry, (third coat if you'd like), clearcoat, dry, clear coat, dry. pretty much it`

 

[Tuner923]

How does one do that? Same method?

vht night shades spray on tint with clear coat for the tails.

headlights you have to warm up the head lights and take them apart, sand off the chrome, primer and paint and reassemble

Sounds good. So it's the same method as doing the lens, except just doing the housing?

 

[BankDude]

with the headlights, you do NOT touch the lens itself, just the housing around the lights, yes

What I've done so far:

Debadged
Painted bowties
tinted taillights
removed air silencer
*Ordered* Tsudo N1 catback exhaust

In talks to get a Pacesetter 4-2-1 header from ThinksRusty.


What should be next?

 

[ChevySS]

What's goin on guys. I'm new with this forum thing. Just got a 2006 cobalt SS. I have a huge fan on dual exhaust but can't really find anything. Has anyone ever seen One for the cobalts? And I also want to drop a cold air intake into it. Found a really nice injen intake I want but my friend was warning me about cold air because if you hit deep enough puddle you'll blow your engine. Any advice on that? Thanks

 

[BankDude]

get a hydro shield...

 

[LotusRenaultF1]

NEVER NEVER NEVER buy a chip. as I said, get it tuned. talk to vince at Trifecta Performance Custom Tuning :: Home Page and News and he will help you tune your car. as we also said, you get what you pay for. you'd waste your money on a chip

Also, that would blow your engine up. If you want to mod your car, plan on your cheapest mod being probably 150-180 dollars. Don't buy anything off of eBay unless its a trusted brand and you read reviews on that specific product.

I have a Jet Performance chip in my car. It ads like 30hp, but I did it because it boosted my fuel economy. It basically just leans the engine out. I guess a leaner engine ads some horsepower or maybe it does something else to0. Idk. But don't buy a chip for just performance, buy an intake or new headers.

My LS has a dual but the guy who owned it before me designed it. They makes duals for the SS, but not any other sub models.

Get a hydro shield it blocks water from going into your intake.
