Wheels are Gravana/Monarch 19" with 245-40-19's in front and 275-35-19's in rear. They are discontinued and very tough to find.

What tires?

sbindley · « **Reply #77 on:** January 12, 2012, 07:06:39 PM »

Yokohama S-Drive

Gentleman Jack · « **Reply #78 on:** January 12, 2012, 09:59:12 PM »

Same as I have. Now that they are broken in, they are great! They did try to kill me when they were new!

That's because they hated you.

Is your car lowered any? Any rub problems with the 275's? One more question! How wide is the rear wheel?

elff · « **Reply #82 on:** January 15, 2012, 12:35:42 PM »

Width and offset would be nice too. at some point I might go that same route. It's real easy to spin my current tires so added contact patch would be nice.

BTW - I haven't said this yet

KILLER CAR!!!!!!!!!!! What a total Beast!!!

sbindley · « **Reply #83 on:** January 16, 2012, 10:05:28 AM »

Car was not lowered at all and never a rub. I believe the rears are 19x9.5. Werks has lowered the car a bit now but I have not gotten it back yet.

Hey SB, have you thought of adding LS3 Supercharged emblems to the side of the scoop? Still be subtly while at the same time giving it a DFWM attitude.

sbindley · « **Reply #85 on:** February 07, 2012, 02:43:38 PM »

Nope, no emblems, etc. The tailpipes will do the talking.

sbindley · « **Reply #86 on:** March 02, 2012, 11:50:23 AM »

Almost there...

Dave just sent a couple more things. Here is a link to exhaust at idle, and a photo of the 6-speed. I want to change the boot back to stock color to match the knob instead of the tan seats. Thoughts?

Definetly. Black will look better

SKY888 · « **Reply #89 on:** March 02, 2012, 02:33:14 PM »

I like BLACK

Sly Bob · « **Reply #90 on:** March 02, 2012, 07:53:07 PM »

Sounds great but 'cause you asked, yeah ya' gotta lose the tan boot.

Gentleman Jack · « **Reply #91 on:** March 02, 2012, 08:47:38 PM »

Need a pic of the interior as a whole if possible.

What do you think about black door handles? I see you painted the windshield frame ( or did black cars come black? Or did coupes come body color?) but the handles seem to stand out too much to me.

That said, I love your car and I'd marry you if I get half the car in the divorce. ( I'm not good with commitment)

SB ; if your interested in Black Handles ,The Cobalt Has a factory Satan Black . They are the same handles in different colors. I have a pr. on Mine

sbindley · « **Reply #93 on:** March 04, 2012, 11:47:10 AM »

Thanks for the thoughts. Black handles may look good. How easy are they to swap? What year Cobalts? Here are a couple of photos of the interior:

SKY888 · « **Reply #94 on:** March 04, 2012, 12:12:53 PM »

well since you have those tan seats.....the tan shift boot works fine then!

Gentleman Jack · « **Reply #95 on:** March 05, 2012, 01:50:51 AM »

Totally agree. Tan works great with the rest. I'd look at covering the center console arm rest with the same and really complete the look.

Critterman · « **Reply #96 on:** March 05, 2012, 08:54:08 AM »

^what he said^ tan on tan and cover the center console.

sbindley · « **Reply #97 on:** March 05, 2012, 09:34:17 AM »

Thanks again. I have the center cup holder waiting to go on that matches the black interior. I think I will change the boot back as well. I just don't like the boot and knob being different, and a tan knob would get dirty too fast.

spicy3480 · « **Reply #98 on:** March 05, 2012, 04:12:58 PM »

Great looking and sounding car...love the hood scoop!!! Can't wait to see a video of that car under load!!

Great job and really clean!

ChopTop · « **Reply #99 on:** March 06, 2012, 01:05:13 PM »

How anal do you want to get? I'm thinking shifter/shifting boots generally match each other (and those usually match the steering wheel). Course you could go with a matching wood shifter... but then you'd might need a JPM shifter just so you can use an aftermarket wood shift-knob. Downside with tan leather shift knobs is they tend to get dirty looking.
