Warranty doesn't matter to me because I will probably drive the car less than 2500kms per year.

I change the oil once a year, synthetic only since it came with it from the factory.

As I say to everyone, I'm keeping the car, but if someone came to me with a suitcase of cash or a certified cheque for an amount that I couldn't refuse, I'd sell the SRT4. ;)

Thank you. It was not me at armdrop but was another SS owner, from London, who has been doing lap days on a regular basis, previously with a Corvette from what I recall. He's been doing this for many years. The Cobalt SS's are definitely a great road course vehicle. :)

Debaged the trunk exept Turbocharged badge

What did you use to smoke the tails? I'm thinking about doing it, but I want to be careful to either do it light enough that the police won't nail me for too dark taillights or have it so I can take off the tint if I have to <_<

Dan, there's a shop in Cambridge called Allstar. They can get done professionaly. I've seen their work. They don't just put tint film on it, its a different way.

I used pre cut taillight tint, then did it myself. I had to use a hair dryer to heat the tint so that it would conform to the curve of the taillights. Usually, the pros will use a steam heater (from what I have seen), but I did not have access to one.

It only cost me $30.00 in material, and a couple of hours of my time. Also, the tint is not too dark. It might appear that way in the picture, but that's probably because I took the picture in the shade.

As far as the badging, I will be debadging the SS.

Finally got off my butt and started some preassembly for installing my Kenwood DNX8120 head unit. I used a wire labeller to label all the necessary wires to ease the installation.

Here are some pics.

The taillight tint was purchased off ebay.
