definitely a focus

and dinggus you don't want your headlights and foglights aimed to the same point. but the best way to align them respectively is on a level surface pointing @ a white wall. i used to always use the garage when I lived with the parents.

So, took awhile to get tint, since I didn't know what I wanted, but decided that I'll get 20% to match the back window and the brow that I had done back in December. I got 20% on the sides and 40% on the windshield. Instead of wasting $35 on the brow, I just had them put it over the brow and it turned out good. Possibly one of the most professional people I have dealt with for my truck, and at a good price at $140.


Here is what the truck looks like inside on the driver side with the console, had to keep the stock driver seat in, because I still have to put the other driver seat in.


Friend wants to pimp his car out because he gets made fun of since it's a Cobalt, so I removed the Cobalt LS and Chevy emblem and we painted the emblem and put it back on. We also took out the silencer and he said it's more louder and response is better.


Got a few more updates in the next 2 weeks.

Dwayne, google Lisle 14540 (headlight aiming tool, about $20) and you'll be able to aim them much better. First, aim them at 10', then back up to 25' and fine-tune them. A test drive is in order as well

No, I had 20% brow around December, and just had 40% overlaid while doing the whole windshield.

I had a Cobalt SS Supercharged and was really impressed with that car. Topped it out at about 152 mph or so with the GMPP stage 2 kit with pulley, injectors, tune, and exhaust (mild, not loud). Took this pic...got it about 2-3 mph above that but put the phone down

Nice, my friend says he wants a supercharge. Also, I'll have a few more surprises in a week or two.

Also, I like these black and red seat covers, but the only thing black inside the truck is the carbon fiber dash kit, steering wheel emblem and floor mats. So I was thinking along with Jake on which one I should get in the future.



Or get the black and grey, since the floor is black, the plastic to the seat is grey, the outside of the seat cover will be black and the inside would be grey.


*Yes, different year, I know.

I want the black and red, just think it might over do it with the color scheme, plus wouldn't match inside.

Thanks, I love the tint!
