The 'balt has went a little further than I had planned. 2 days ago it was just staged with a heat exchanger, then I got a call from an older guy down here whom decided he was going to trade his in. Parts flew between cars and the transformation of his car took place to mine. To avoid the BS explaining I'll just include my current mod-list now and say once some minor body flaws get taken care of, this is a wrap.

Familiar Taste of Poison.

It's VA and you might have to murder me, it needs some polish and scuffage before I show much. It's dirty.

Vatozone was next door to Food Lion, I needed groceries this morning .

They have the same bowtie caps my factory wheels did. You'd never know.

As for the emblems, they stay, 4 year old car that's been exposed to sun for majority of it. You can make out where my trunk bowtie was after I had removed it. I do plan on ordering the red vinyl inserts for them to blend them a bit better.

Sorry for the GTP / GXP mix up.

Thanks for the compliments, responding from the BlackBerry so bear with me.

No ice cream paint job, but it's sicc.

Joseph.
I love.
So you called me that day a few months ago saying you picked up a ss cobalt,
and I asked you what the plans were for it, you responded stage 2 and done.
I knew you were full of sh!t even if you didn't
I love it.

How do those b&g's ride/handle?
I think the wheels should be gold
But I know you will probably leave them silver

def lovin' it. no love for the ss/sc wheels

which are lighter joe, you new or old wheels?
