Waiting for the 37s and then off to the shop!!!

Sign a few quality players? No?

Lift, adjustable controls arms and .75" spacer in (to remove factory Jeep rake). Procal programmer, tires and wheels will be here later this week. Gonna be a busy weekend!!

Best. Show. Ever.

5.13s by 2014 would be my guess. We'll see how things go.

Yeah yeah...she's gonna be a pavement crawler.

4" Zone lift, .75" spacer for the front, adjustable control arms (front and rear), hi-lift, 37" Grapplers and 17" matter black wheels ordered. Ugh!!! She'll be a dog until I regear, but a pretty dog.

Thanks man. Still planning out the build. Thinking 4" BDS and some 37's (already has a 1.25" body lift). Then new bumpers and some rock guards. Can't stand the bulky plastic bumpers on this thing. Then of course axles/gears are gonna be a concern, even though I'm not really gonna wheel it, but I don't want it to be a complete dog.

Well, 2 door was short lived. Put 640 miles on it in 14 months, ha. 4 door build it is now!

27 players arrested since the Superbowl. Wow!

Pu on his way there 3x...yikes!

Anyone tackle refinishing alloy wheels before? And I mean a full refinish with sanding pitting and curb rash, then wet sanding smooth, polish etc.

5 spoke or mesh style wheels? Edit - on the 5 above (mine need refinishing and I cant stomach $800 to refinish when I can get new for $600 and reuse my tires).

No personal experience, but looked into extensively a few months back. Heard some damn good things about it (especially for emblems, molding etc...small items). Craziness that people have done entire cars and their wheels. Some of it looks sick as hell!

While most of what you said here is true, you're not gonna see the money back. Not to mention I was more speaking on the painting of a car. To do a paint job properly (and I don't mean a $500 Maaco job) it'll cost thousands and definitely not worth it on a Cobalt.

No sir...you will not see that money back and if you plan on selling soon it would be a massive waste of money for items that expensive. To properly paint a car and change things like manual locks/windows to power is no small task. It would be thousands!

When you know, you know.

2006 545i, 63k miles, nav, bluetooth, BMW 20's (that need refinishing due to curb rash and pitting) and the rest is pretty much stock. Headlights are faded and Im gonna do something there. Gonna refinish the wheels, darker tint, maybe a small little lip spoiler and a new exhaust. Thats all I plan at this time, ha!

She's home!

Was that a noice sighting? Noice!!

People who speak in metaphors should shampoo my crotch - JN

No, if you're dumb...you're dumb.

Hey, when stupid people say stupid things I call them out on it. This place, at times, is chock full of stupid things being said.

Ha, another one of the useless drivel members!
