only lip kits because like said before, all N/A guys want them, and all sc/tc guys need new ones because oem is cheap! so offering them as oem style or cf/cfwrapped would make you RICH AS HELL!! theres no further need for discussion, by and large thats what everybodys been saying

that being said, also offering wingless trunks could help. if you offer wings, people are liking the 'tjin style' lately. minus that, low rise and high rise, not many wings, if any look good on the cobalt, as its a unique sort of rear end.

offering cf replacement parts such as mirrors, under the hood stuff, better taillight choices (especially if you made taillights that BOTH sets light up as brakes)

i'll see what i can do. i understand the lip kits part. i'm just trying to gauge if the reason for the lip kits is lack of appealing body kits. but none the less lip kits will definately b brought up

most people dont wanna go through the whole hassle of a body kit (i know im in that group of people). i really dont mind the look of the base bumpers with a decent lip on them, but clean looking lips are pretty much non-existent so most just go to the ss bumper with ss lip (which is expensive but looks the best to almost everyone, including myself)

I dig the lip padlock posted, and maybe an M3 style spoiler. Beyond sublte things like that an OEM SS style kit that fit well is about all i would be interested in.

on the subject of a lip kit how bout a rear valance similar to the RK Sport for the Pontiac g5? Looks good imo not a big fan of the plastic mesh crap.

You guys don't need to mention an OEM CF lip, Extreme Dimensions is already working on that.
