Ok so I guess I'll throw a build of my cobalt up here. I'm not sure that I'll mod it much, but I'll post what I actually do. :)

Here's some pics, nice and stock.

My dad is getting me some rims for Christmas, and here's the ones I chose.

And here's a quick chop to see how they would look (kinda).

Room for some mudders

Thogert 12-05-2012 03:07 AM

Yeah I bet I can fit 33s in there. :) I don't know, maybe I'll lower it at some point. We'll see.

adam7 12-05-2012 07:30 PM

2.2? the earlier SS (not the bs 4dr ss) appearance package or trim would kill this car. I love these cars. I imagine Eibach or H&R suspension on this would give it a nice stance and no sacrifice driveability

Thogert 12-06-2012 01:18 AM

Yeah it's the 2.2

How early of SS trim? Or do you just mean the actual supercharged engine trim?

Is that a chive sticker on the trunk thor? lol

Thogert 12-11-2012 10:45 PM

Maybe... :icon_wink:

xgiovannix12 12-11-2012 10:53 PM

My eyes are not as bad as i thought then.

ohsofly 12-19-2012 02:31 AM

Too bad ur so far away, I have a set of motegi mr15 18s I would give ya. Nothing I got fits 4 lugs or less than 20s anymore...

Thogert 12-19-2012 03:17 AM

While I appreciate that, why don't you just sell them?

ohsofly 12-19-2012 10:07 PM

I put em up on kijiji for a couple hundred bucks, but no real bites. I would rather give em to someone I know. 2 tires are cut, so maybe that's why nobody wants em cuz they gotta buy 2 tires. The other 2 are new though... A well maybe ill get a buyer by spring, or just keep em. My oldest will be driving in a few years, I guess I could just get a project import car for him to build up for when he's 16...

He needs a 4x4 :icon_cool:

ohsofly 12-19-2012 10:22 PM

Well, he can have the blazer if he starts showing any interest in it... He seems to only care about money making and video games... He doesn't care to work on cars with me, and only wants stuff given to him, he doesn't want to put in elbow grease to earn them unless its cash. Just took him to bestbuy so he could buy a bigscreen plasma with his snow shovelling money... Couldn't believe he made that much in a month and a half!

USMC3782 12-20-2012 07:21 PM

just a note if you look around there are plenty of saab turbo kits or ss supercharged kits for less than a set of rims. check jbody.org or anywhere you choose. easy to get good power cheap in those

Rims look good Thog!

Random question for ya. What kind of mpg's are you pulling in the 'balt?

red06sc 12-29-2012 02:15 AM

i have a 2006 cobalt ss supercharged. Car is a blast to drive... shes not stock anymore lol. I havent taken it out of the garage since about october :( i miss driving it.

Thogert 12-29-2012 03:57 AM

At 70 mph I get 35 mpg, and I average 30 in the city. More than double the old blazer.

So today I picked up a pair of speakers for it (rear deck).
https://blazerforum.com/forum/attach...ine=1357951385

I love how big the driver is on these things. :icon_drool:
https://blazerforum.com/forum/attach...ine=1357951385

https://blazerforum.com/forum/attach...ine=1357951385

Here's the comparison to the stock speakers.
https://blazerforum.com/forum/attach...ine=1357951385

https://blazerforum.com/forum/attach...ine=1357951385

I tried to hook them up to my amp, but I guess my amp died. It will only light up the indicators for 1/2 a second and then shut down. So I'm probably going to get a cheapo at a pawn shop for now. I definitely need a new head unit too, the stock one has a hard time sounding clear at high levels.

swanman35 01-13-2013 08:50 AM

Those rims make a HUGE difference. Looking good!

richphotos 01-13-2013 12:51 PM

she's cute!

Thogert 01-14-2013 02:09 AM

Thanks guys!

So I bought a 4 ch amp from a guy on CL and tried to hook it up and got nothing but silence. I think it's an issue with my stock radio, so that will have to be my next purchase.

Of course, it's dirty again already. Stupid salt! At least I can take it back before Sunday to get it rewashed for free. :icon_razz:

Ok so I ordered a replacement projector (one was damaged) and a pair of new shrouds and some amber led rings.
https://blazerforum.com/forum/attach...ine=1360832958

And a pic of how the amber rings will look inside them. (Not my pics of course.)
https://blazerforum.com/forum/attach...ine=1360832958

And a side shot.

When my tax return gets here (some time in March) I'll be ordering a Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X996, a pair of T3652-S components, and a T600-4 Amp. to finish off my stereo (finally.)

Needless to say I'm a little excited. :icon_lol:

xgiovannix12 02-14-2013 10:19 AM

Those amber rings are nice.

Karcinagin 02-15-2013 07:19 PM

Love the amber angel eyes, I want that on my bike.

Thogert 02-16-2013 02:00 AM

Yeah I've thought about putting one on my bike too.

So I did a couple of cosmetic things today just for fun.
Carbon fiber pedal covers.
https://blazerforum.com/forum/attach...ine=1362129300

Painted some interior trim red and added a sticker (proven to add 50db to any sound system ;) )
https://blazerforum.com/forum/attach...ine=1362129300

And since the stickers came with two in the package, I added one to the rear brake light.

Thogert 03-04-2013 01:08 PM

Well I saw a sale TRS was having on HIDP and I decided that I'll probably never get this good of a deal again, so I bought some FX-R projectors and new D2S bulbs too.

I've spent way too much $$ on this thing the past week.

Thogert 03-06-2013 02:21 AM

Got my new amp in today. It's nice to have a sub again. The T3s are at the ups store and I'll pick them up tomorrow and the HU should get here tomorrow as well.

Here's the mess I was dealing with.
https://blazerforum.com/forum/attach...ine=1362731391

https://blazerforum.com/forum/attach...ine=1362731391

All done.
https://blazerforum.com/forum/attach...ine=1362731391

https://blazerforum.com/forum/attach...ine=1362731391

It sounds freakin' awesome at incredible sound levels. Unfortunatly I killed my sub and in the process, also killed my sub amp. So I'm lacking in the bass department again, but hopefully that will change sometime in the near future.
