debadge it completely. get rid of the black "spokes". paint them all black. it would look so much better. and paint the bottom of the headlights LS Sport Kit and painted handles/ Mirrors and your good to go

The rims rock. What a contrast. Keep it. Paint the base of the headlight housing black as well so only the refractors are left chrome. LS lips.

OOOO, ever seen the Monte Carlo SSs from the last 90s, early 00s? (not 100% sure on years) All black with silver lips. Do this:
-Razzi 'Z22' side skirts
-LS lips, front and back
-Paint all skirts/lips silver to match wheels.
-shave hood badge

For @!#$s and giggles, get 3 red SS badges. Get 3 'Cavalier' badges. Rear quarter in front of rear wheels, badge it 'Cavalier SS'. Do the same to the trunk.

It IS a daily driver, so why not have fun with it? I'd do it. No different then a non-supercharged Cobalt SS. How could you go wrong? Haha

I like the wheels. I say add the LS front and rear lip. Debadge it. And just keep it clean. Looks good.

i like i alot for the most part, I agree with removing the emblems and as for the wheels, if anythign I would have done them oposite, silver spokes with black background. but not bad at all

To get the moisture out, bake the corner in your oven at about 200 degrees for about 60-90 seconds. Just enough to soften the glue that is the seal. Take it out and immediately pry the lens off. now with the lens off scrape out all the crappy glue thats allready in there. Clean out your moisture while you're in there. Re-seal with some silicone and stick it back together. Clamp it and let it set overnight. Good as new.

I like this car 10x more than your green machine. The only changes I would make are get the front and rear lip and rid the wheels of the black spokes. I would keep the z24 badge but get rid of the red bowtie. The red bowtie does not really go with the blacked out look you have got going, plus it is alot easier to wash and dry the car with it removed. I know you might want to go the turbo route, but I think you would like the GM supersharger and custom HP tuners tune Shifted did for me.

i was thinking going supercharger this summer but not quite sure yet. i kinda have the black one for a clean look and the green one is under some major construction. (even jason and lance dont know about ) so the green one is more like an exotic custom look.

thanks for a awesome comments guys. keep em coming

Are the headlights stock, and simply painted? If not, how do you like the light output?

I agree with some of the others. Those badges are screaming for removal. Outside of that, I don't think I'd change a thing.
