Blown out spotlight on the front of the car, the outlet on the wall attracts my eye more than the car, and the light at the back isn't that great. Dont know if i like the green/blue tinge either.

The outlet is a 2 minute clone job.

Your bud could save some trouble and buy the S/C version! ;)

I like the car I would have shined the light on the ceiling, and on the side back wall to give more light and detail on the side of the car... and tone down the light on the front

Thanks guys for the tips! I figured I'd get mixed reactions on the colour combo. The original picture is much lighter. I'll keep those things in mind for the next shoot. :) There was no spotlight or flash used, all the lighting contributing to the "blown out" front end was caused by an overhead external garage light.

As far as the car goes, with the .4 more of a litre the 2.4 ecotec is running it's a good half second faster in the 1/4 than any factory Cobalt SS/SC, (at 7 lbs of boost!) I should know I've owned one haha :lol:

Thanks again for the critique!

Sean

You know what they say though, a cobalt is still just a cobalt!

the cobalt ss is one hell of a performance bargain. and if this is faster than it, props.

Both of you, remember the "Don't be a jerk" language you both agreed to when you joined the forum. If you have as problem with someone, report a post with the "Report Post"
