Had an opportunity to finally take some updated photos today. Still have some cleaning to do tomorrow before we head to Sonic in Ephrata.

pretty clean

I would lose the CF hood... it is a domestic not a JDM car... just doesn't look right, only JDM cars should have them.

Real intention was to lose the weight I added putting the front mount H/E in. However, everyone that has seen it loves the hood on the car.

SpEcRv9 · 03-20-2010, 08:58 PM

why would you want to lose weight off the front end of a somewhat powerful fwd car? so you could spin more?

I agree stock hood would make your car way cleaner. I'm not a fan of the wing, but honestly don't think it looks too bad on the s/c's I have a huge problem with it on the t/c's

must be the wheels I guess...

It'll only spin from a dig!! The stock water to air system takes about a quart of coolant. The setup I have now used 1 3/4 gallons. When you hit the twisties you could feel the extra weight out on the front end. After I installed the hood if feels more civil again.

im with the other guy, hood kills the car.

Teku18 · 03-20-2010, 11:27 PM

I say car looks nice. The hood never liked the Evo style on any other car but the Evo. If you want a CF hood why not get an OEM one. I am sure well known places carry them. Other then that looks nice. What are your future plans for the car.

MKIVGetta00 · 03-20-2010, 11:30 PM

You don't happen to live on 568 across from Walnut Glen do you? I'm a firefighter in Adamstown

Oh and keep the hood. Sets off the rest of the car. Too many stock looking Cobalts running around here.

I considered the OEM hood. Took me about 8 months to decide on which hood to purchase. I chose this one because of the functional vents. Should aid in keeping the IAT2s down and decrease the impact of heat soak. The only thing I plan on doing is a 50 shot dry and upgrade the clutch. I could spend all kinds of money but I will achieve my goal at that point.

Had me thinking until I saw 568......I live in PA. The sport red tincoat pearl on my balt looks great with this hood.....pictures really don't do it justice. It is a beautiful color...kinda like candy apple. Thanks for the kudos.

Well at least you bought it with function in mind, and that's all that matters. Sounds like it will be a quick little daily when it's done. Good luck keep it clean.

GmFwd · 03-21-2010, 12:11 PM

Those wheels look heavy, you could probably shed some weight with different wheels.

MKIVGetta00 · 03-21-2010, 01:43 PM

Yeah I don't live too far from you. I saw the maple grove pics and the little hamster in my head started running on his wheel lol

**Got Insulin?** · 03-22-2010, 03:38 PM

Looks alright, man. I'm not a huge fan of the hood, but it might look pretty sweet painted to match your whip.

Your brother will have his clutch in this week so after the break-in he will be able to spool that turbo up. You can ride shotgun and video tape.
