Got my car back from the paint shop today

Before:


After:


My two non-human girls:


What do you guys think? Hate it or love it, nobody's opinion will change mine! I love it, as do my family and friends.


If anybody is wondering why it was repainted, it got vandalized by some punk(s) late last month on my dad's birthday when I went to visit him. I love the end product more than what it looked like when I bought it.
I do realize the color may seem feminine, but I'm comfortable with my sexuality, so I don't care if it seems "gay" to anyone. Haters gonna hate, right?
Let me know what you guys think! Thanks for checking it out.

[phr3ek]

is it pink?

looks pink in the pic, but it might look different in person

lol that bush looks like a penor

[CynicalC]

Not my choice of color but it suits the car...

[ninja250]

It's poiple.
Hehe
Looks good

[Lil_Green_Demon]

It's a raspberry metallic paint job. It actually looks MUCH better in person.

[Jono]

Well it is different. It looks nice but I wouldn't drive it. Mainly because its a Chevy Cobalt.

[rusninja]

:O it looks pink so what made you choose that color? :O

[Mazakawi]

Not my cup of tea but if you like it then more power to ya.

I will say that the grey wheels look out of place now. They should be black.

I liked it a lot out of all the colors I was looking through. It's not pink in person. It's a raspberry color.

They will be soon. I plan on painting them in a week or so.

Is this a question or are you telling me that I'm just going to paint the rims?

I eventually plan on lowering the car a bit, tinting the tail lights, adding an intake, maybe installing a downpipe, and I am more likely than not add some black accents to the exterior without making the car look riced out.
I say "eventually" because I'm too broke for that ish right now. Btw, I don't plan on actually painting the rims. I'm using a product called Plastidip to do the job. It's awesome material if anyone is interested in looking it up.

[ninja250]

I got some white 17's from ym CRX that would look good on that puppy.
What's the bolt pattern?

Those are the stock rims. Not my pic, btw.

Eh... So is an intake, but I don't care. Plus, the reason I want to do downpipe instead of full exhaust is because it'll be less loud. In fact, it'll just be slightly louder than stock, but still loud enough that the car will sound better.
I'm not 100% sure that I want to do it, though. I've seen a few friends get pulled over for running DPs and get huge fix-it tickets. The cops have a field day once they pull you over for an illegal mod.

You know GM actually makes some pretty nice performance packages for the cobalt ss that would be carb approved.

Yeah, they have a GM Stage 1 kit for the turbo, which ups the boost and horsepower/torque by a good amount. It's relatively cheap (somewhere around $600), but I don't have that kind of money to spend on performance parts.
The Cobalt SS is a nice car that can be easily modded to be much faster, but it's already pretty fast right out of the factory, so I don't think I need to do too much. Plus, mine already has 82.5k miles on it, so I don't think doing performance mods on such a high mileage car would be a good idea.

[Sound Wave]

imho, that color makes it look like a girl's car.... but as you said, you like it so that is all that matters.

[wellcraft]

It looks gay to me, when I first saw the pics I wondered if you were a girl and had to look your profile, then I kept reading and realized you weren't one, but it's your so that's all that matters

[Lil_Green_Demon]

Seriously, guys, it looks MUCH better in person. Pics don't do the car any justice. This is the first time a Cobalt can be said to be turning heads everywhere. Lol

Well, you'll certainly be turning more guy's heads, trying to check out the chick in the pink car.

LOL. I like the color...

[Cazper]

Umar,
As long as you like it that's all that matters... I once owned a "champaigne" Hyundai... everyone told me it was pink too... I ended up getting rid of it after only about a year. It's different... and I'm always down for something that doesn't look like every other car out there

[THE BIG SITT]

You should put some vinyl over the tails. The red and the raspberry kinda clash… with that being said, I like it! But then again, I did say I'd ride a pink Ninja in a different thread...

My buddy's first car was a pink Chevy and he didn't give a crap either.

Thank you, Dustin. Hahaha
I love it, and I know my opinion is the only one that matters to me.
I am glad, though, that my family and friends like it. Sure, a few friends say it's too girly, but they'd trade their POS cars for it any day of the week.

Yeah, I plan on doing a number of things to it eventually, which include but are not limited to lowering it, painting the rims black and tinting the tail lights.
