  • ummm... I really didn't think this was going to look good at all.
    1) I don't usually like these wheels
    2) I don't usually like cobalts
    3) I don't usually like rediculous poke/stretch

    BUT somehow it all works together, here.
    This is the most incredible cobalt I've ever seen.
    Are these staggered width?

      thanks dude, i can tell you're not into the rat rodding thing it's an acquired taste. i do appreciate the compliments especially since you keep saying you don't like cobalts haha

        1.8" spacer adapters up front
        2.3" spacer adapters in rear
        9.5 wide all around

        and i agree, this is the most incredible cobalt yet. lots more to come.

          • Nope, not doing anything for me. The American poke trend just looks half-assed to me.
            It was looking good with the ride height, but the poke just killed it.

            • It's not so much that I don't like boso/rat rod type cars, I'm just picky about it. But I'm not here to give anyone a hard time.

              There aren't many cobalts out there that have any stance going for them whatsoever. So, way to break the mold. Take balls to rock that much camber on a car like this.

                not flamming cuz i do liek this car BUT!

                zipties, poke, and a tsurikawa dont make this boso, or rat rod.

                MILD shakotan maybe...

                just looks like a stanced cobalt to me. boarderline VIP.

                  Aren't the solstice and sky the same things (diff badges, but w/e)? are you sure that there's an AWD version? I think you might have your Saturn models mixed up.

                    While agree that there's nothing boso about the car, but there's also nothing remotely VIP about it. At all.

                    Also, that Skyline is a kyusha genre, but shakotan just means "lowered car"... I'm not certain that it indicates a particular styling either.

                    • shakotan is a style....


                      and the only reason i said boarderlined VIP is because its all black, on polished wheels, and it has teh "VIP" pipes

                      • it's just a mix of all the styles i like. there's no goal here other than ratty, race ready and daily drivable

                          I don't know about that part, but props on doing something different with a cobalt.

                          • looks good man, a bit too much poke and camber for me, but i dig it. didnt realize ur from NY, Im just across the boarder in toronto, I sware snow is coming, I hope your not going to drive it in winter like that?

                            • I thought I would have really liked this, but I dunno yet...lol

                              Maybe its just the pictures and odd angles, but it looks wierd. Maybe its just a slammed Cobalt. haha

                              IMO, all the 'trend' stickers all over is gross and takes away from the car.

                                that's the real challenge here. the car's got a ballsy motor. i'm a damn good mechanic and i am pretty sure i can get this thing on the track running good times. custom control arm bushings, real adjustable dampening shocks instead of shot stockers that have been on drop springs for a million miles and beef up the strut towers. i could type about it all day but you get the point. i know what to do here, it's just a matter of having the funds.
