Burnt2Death/2008 Cobalt Lt Sedan/Sanatoga, Pa

[Burnt2Death]

I go by Burnt2Death and I drive a 2008 Cobalt Lt Sedan. This is its SHOWOFF!!

2008 Chevy Cobalt LT Sedan with 2.2l ecotec engine and a 4 speed auto transmission. I bought the car used as its second owner. The car has a R-title. Was hit hard in the front right and everything had to be replaced. Really does need a better paint job.

I bought the car with 27k on the clock "47K now" 9-9-2010 and loaded with every option from the factory. Power everything. Leather all around, sunroof, Premium sound, fogs, etc...

I am keeping this simple. Here is a list of mods to the car and I will only keep updated pics of the car on here. Pretty simple and easy to see what it currently looks like.

Red and black 05 SS seats
Rear headrest delete

Exterior:
Debadged rear trunk lid

Window tint 20% rear 30% doors

Performance:
ARK catback exhaust
GMPP Short Ram Intake
B&M Shift+

Starting to do my sc build. Recently purchased the Eaton M62 supercharger.

Suspension:
FE5 shocks and struts
Dropzone lowering springs
18" SS/SC black wheels
Nexen N3000 235/40/18 tires

[Burnt2Death]

Im new to the tristate tuner forums. I am mostly on Yourcobalt.com Great people on there and no haters lol

I like the balt man! I was thinking about getting those rims for my sedan but idk how they would look. I like the eye lids but you should have painted the inner headlights. Nice balt though.

[VERTZX]

eyelids are krylon lol. i got boored, taped them off and did them. i also have halos. i go back and forth. i also go back and forth with rims... i like to change the look alot.

[Showoff03LS]

good lookin car man. ever think of gettin a set of SS wheels for it ?

[Burnt2Death]

Im gonna shop around as soon as I get the springs in the mail. I'm dropping it 2" front and rear. So I am thinking I will get 18" rims. Maybe the 18" ss rims in black with a chrome lip...

[Showoff03LS]

nice. you can bring the car to my place for the springs, itll save ya some cash so your not payin a shop. might be too much black and too less lip for that with the ss wheels

[Burnt2Death]

I need the proper tools. I was going to do it myself. I dont have jack stands... And I don't have the spring tightener/com-presser or whatever you call it...

[Showoff03LS]

ive got it all here, jack, stands, spring compressors, air compressor, air tools

[Burnt2Death]

Sweet man. When I et the springs I will deff let you know. Throw you a few dollars or somethin else for the hassle..

You're in Gilbertsville right? Thats right around the corner from me...

[Showoff03LS]

yep , on new hanover square RD.

[Burnt2Death]

Im right on High Street right outside of Pottstown...

[Showoff03LS]

[Burnt2Death]

^BUMP^ Just got done tinting tail lights!! Springs came in today... New pics on first post in thread!!

[Showoff03LS]

[Burnt2Death]

I am going to wet sand, lay another coat of the vht, and then clear again. It started raining here a little so I had to pop them back in... I dont have a garage like some people. lol

[Showoff03LS]

[BlondeBaby*//G]

[Burnt2Death]

Thanks!

[BlondeBaby*//G]

do you go to the pagoda a lot?

[jesse096]

Nice pics man, I think the Turbo SS wheels would look better IMO...

I'm that big ass dude that was with the kid with the red SS at the FDR meet... I think I was wearing a black Ecko shirt and dark pants...

-Jesse

[Burnt2Death]

Maybe 2 or 3 times a week... I am all over the place. lol

[BlondeBaby*//G]

lol thats a good place to shoot I never would have thought and I live 2 mins away from it lol

[Burnt2Death]

I am always up there at the Pagoda and the old Fire Tower. Plus I love driving around on Skyline Dr. I got a friend who lives on 12th st right at the bottom of the hill from the Pagoda so I am always around that part of Reading... Good photos there and a few other spots around there..

[jrkal]

I am installing StreetGlow neons on Monday

Painted interior trim "in progress"

:eek: uhhhhhhh

Aftermarket "fart can"

:bigeek:Hopefully not one of those Pep Boys 3A Racing things?


Car's clean for the most part man and don't take too much offense but I don't see much point in modding this car. Just my opinion though...

[Burnt2Death]

I like the car. Neons are a maybe... Muffler was picked at a u-pull for $5. Its only on until I install my Tsudo cat back when ever I get to it. Interior trim was painted black to match some of the other black trim on the doors and dash. Way too much Grey color in the stock trim. Once again only painted until I purchase the wood trim kit.

I like the car and I have plans to mod it. I took a few short cuts but they are just temp until I get to their replacements or I install the ones I already have.

Okay, wheeewww. That's more like it man.

What other plans do you have? 5 speed swap, FI? Also if you're changing wheels don't get the balt SS wheels...very ugly IMO and I think the car looks miles better on certain aftermarkets

[Burnt2Death]

I am going to get a set of 18" wheels. Not sure of exact model yet but Something black with either a little red or chrome somewhere. Other plans are body kit or SS body swap. Down pipe and header. As soon as I get the dp and header I will install the tsudo cat back I have. Cold air intake. I have lowering springs to drop it 2" already just waiting till Spring for installing. Halo headlights. A few things. Maybe supercharge it at some point.

[Burnt2Death]

^ Bump for NEW pics and info ^

[Burnt2Death]

Just posted a pic of the new tinted wheels on the first page of the thread. Thanks for looking.

[lownslow95]

This.

[Showoff03LS]

he did niteshades tint on the wheels, which really look good. the vht tint give the polished wheel a black chrome look

[jpalamar]

FYI, there was a set of SS seats on eBay real cheap the other night. Might still be there.

[Showoff03LS]

jon has the tan/gray leather seats

[Burnt2Death]

I just installed lowering springs yesterday and I updated the first page of this thread with new photos and info... Better pics were going to come today but now its snowing...

[Burnt2Death]

I took off some photos and added some new ones on the first page... I will take photos this weekend after I install the audio system and clean her finally... I need updated photos of the car since it was lowered...

[Burnt2Death]

A few new photos... Nothing special.. On the first page of thread.. Working on my SS bumper for the swap and finishing off the black interior swap...

If anyone knows of someone that does pretty cheap wheel repair please let me know. Two wheels both have one small bend in the lip each. I need fixed asap for as cheap as possible.

Did you buy that stuff off of VERTZX? Looks strangely familiar lol, I kinda like those rims on a Balt too, dunno why he dumped them...

-Jesse

[VERTZX]

niice. halos look good on black!

[VERTZX]

as to those bends, never had a problem with them on the car.

[jesse096]

as to those bends, never had a problem with them on the car.

Never felt them, and I didn't even know they were bent!

-Jesse

[Burnt2Death]

I guess its just a paranoid thing. I really want them fixed but it would cost the same as what I purchased them for... lol Not worth it really. idk lol

[chaz01gt]

Jon - Looks good! Get those Wheels on asap! Are they 17 or 18"? U have tires for them?
Looks like a better choice then the SS Wheels!

[Burnt2Death]

18's and no tires. I need to get two wheels straightened. At least I think so. The guy I got them from and his buddy say the wheels are fine and you wouldn't notice the bends. To me the bends really aren't that bad. I just want to take care of it before I mount tires. Didnt realize how expensive two small repairs would be though. Two wheels two bends. Pics below now.

[Burnt2Death]

Quick update I sold those Fontana wheels and now I am gonna be rolling on the 18" SS/SC wheels in flat black. I need two tires and I will be rolling to the Street Outlawz meet on them this Sunday! Also they are getting powdercoated before the Sonic meet in either a Black Chrome or a Black Cherry Pearl. Tough decision...

Newer pics are below for anyone that gives a **** lol

So you paid someone to rip another company off that's a no go man.

[cookiemonster17]

too many vinyls and paint those center caps

[devildog214]

Wheels look great, much better than your other two sets.

[Burnt2Death]

So you paid someone to rip another company off that's a no go man.

And what company would you be talking about. Besides the Illest all are original companies and Cobalt forums.

CobaltUniverse is the forum I am always on. Won ROTM last month..

ProVinylShop is a vendor on that forum that does all my custom work and I get items from.

YourCobalt is another forum

The AK because I used to have one and I use it in COD all the time

Keystone Cobalts is my car club.

Illest you know what it is

And Keystone Auto Recyclers is my business and I am a vendor on multiple Cobalt forums. I sell used and new Chevy Cobalt parts..

What is the problem or are you talking out your ass?

[Burnt2Death]

too many vinyls and paint those center caps

I like the chrome center caps for now.. And the vinyls are balck on my blacke window. I highlighted them more in the pic so you can see them. You cant see them anywhere near as much just looking at it in real life lol

Wheels look great, much better than your other two sets.

Thanks man. They are 18" SS/SC wheels.

[evomike]

I wa referring to the illest sticker

[Burnt2Death]

I wa referring to the illest sticker

I dont really see anything wrong with it and it was purchased through Ebay for next to nothing either way.

I ordered my winter tires, a NOS set up (wet shot), new pacesetter headers, and I got the shag carpet for inside ready to install. Also finally ordered the fuel injectors and the pulley for my sc build. lmao. Starting to get stuff to build her up over the winter.

Also found a stock 2.2 engine at the yard I may be going back on Monday for. Gonna rebuild it over the winter from the internals out as a fully built swap. Keep me busy anyway as a cool project.


Here are some new pics.
