We are looking into designing a new body kit for the cobalts. If there is enough interest it will be done. It is radical and full bumper replacements and not just a lip kit. We took 2nd place with the kit we made for the Vibe at SEMA in NOV. Going to try to do better this time.

Some constructive advice:
do not make it like this one, it's ugly IMO, sorry. I like the rest of the car but not the bumper.
It's too low for one, it should have stopped at the 1st bar; get rid of one of those 2 bars in the front and move the whole bumper up 2-3inches. No one will buy a kit that they will scrape on on their driveway (unless they have air ride, which more than likeley will not be on too many cobalt's)

You will sell more if you keep the design clean and maybe 1-2 inches lower than stock. Here is something i would like to see on the cobalt:

i see you edited the post with pics, thanks, but i'm not feeling it at all. Too low and too diza hellfire, which by the way didn't sell at all.

I Like the front on that. I think the cobalt looks better with a round sort of body kit and low profile than a big pointy look. The car is smooth as it is.

the only thing the cobalt needs is a set of side skirts and possibly another rear piece....i have yet to see a kit available for the front end that i like personally...the front of the car is a piece of art.

the pics u provided are just too edgy and overly aggressive. try something more flush or with less cutouts in it. those are just my comments though...some people might like it...just commenting...:cool:

I like it, I think it has flare, although yes less cutouts would be nicer. I think you have to conform to the body, sorta like how lingerie conforms to beautiful women, basically dont stop with the thong, get the whole babydoll in there!
Make it smooth and complimenting the SS's body style, the Delta platform needs to be sexy :-D

I like most body kits out there, and I am very open minded to appearance modifications, but IMO, that kit is just plain ugly. Your Vibe kit would look better on it.

If you truly want to win first place, do something totally impressive and make a kit similar to the one on the Opel Astra. I would be first in line to buy it!

I would also love that spoiler.
Thank you for listening to my honest feedback :cool:

I agree with Dman. Some side skirts and a rear lip would be more than enough. Just to add a little something too it. Just my opinion though, I am not into the radical kits.

Also, make it out of Urethene. Fiberglass is a bitch.

Jonelz: a kit like that would cost over 2 grand + it needs to be molded in+ the entire car would need to be repainted. that may end up costing 6 grand for a kit. Very few people are willing to do that kind of radical bodywork on a new car, let alone spend that much quid.

Too pointy and agressive for me. Good idea going for dual exhaust though.

I bet JonelZ rolls deep tho.. like Mannie Fresh style. 6 large on a kit aint no thang. Aint that right? But it would have to win first place no doubt. wide body kits are hot No comparrison to my completely CF car in NFSU2. haha

Well, I could be way off base but I think the domestic "tuner" crowd (god, I HATE that word) is a whole different baby than the import "tuner" crowd. The kit your asking for feedback on is just too damn busy in my opinion...looks like a Transformer. I think the majority of us probably prefer a lot of clean unbroken lines. I'm all for air dams and spoilers but when the car has gills it's just has too much going on. Build a kit that looks like it was meant to compliment the car and not transform it into another and I'll be your first buyer. Plus, the fact that you are actually requesting feedback and input from the very crowd that will be purchasing these cars speaks volumes about your company. So thank you for actually asking.

Good or bad that's my opinion. :cool:

VERY MUCH AGREE...urethane is the best stuff out there...

lol, i thought that car that jonelz posted up was a kit car or something....very odd.

I very much agree with you Zefhix, if I were to get a kit it would only be to customize the car and make it look a little more aggresive. I am a big fan of clean, sporty lines over the pure "flash" that I see on imports around here.

I'll second that one. Most of the kits my dealership installs just put "teeth" on the vehicle, not a whole new "grill" (no pun intended).

Your kit was minor surgery when all you needed to do was paint the nails.

First off I'll apologize for taking your orginal image and changing it, I mean no disrespect. Now this is ruff and I suck at free hand :red: I'd rather see something closer to this:

I agree with this ideaolgy..... US "tuners" look for cleaner lines. I like ponti front, alot if the side air intakes were functional brake cooler ducts..... I think that design is closer to the "clean but aggressive" look that we are all talking about

Sorry i'm not feelin it either. I personally wouldn't get it, but hey....someone might like it

Looks good man, now lets see some arse too, a front mount definetly doesnt look bad

I dont care for it.. its too busy, yet better then any other aftermarket ive seen yet. I still like the factory kit the best.

aiight ill start form scratch. look for it in afternoon around 3 eastern!!!! front, sides, and back end! :cssNET:

here is front and side. dont hate on roughness i did it in 12 mins hope yall like it! :cssNET:

isnt that kit from a online drag racing game?

it should be rounded not pointed and a little less busy and it would be a good kit

yea red cavy i agree with ya i did it in a couple of mins didnt even add highlights plus pic is very bad quality in first place! :( thanks thoe i appreciate feedback good or bad just helps me improve :cssNET: i like front bumper but side skirt could use a lil work :cool:

Not to be disrespectful, but it looks too radical IMO. I would try to avoid looking like it came from the Fast and the Furious. Again, just my opinion.

dont bother me bro! ;) ill make soemthing else lol but yall r picky :nuts: lol

wow, what a good job! What body kit did you use? I love it!

the back i made myself the side skirts were off a silvia (not sure bodykit) front end from a civic SI :cssNET:

now that i like

I like venoms a lot. especially the spoiler.

yah, it could use a bit up front, some decent side skirts, that back to that was okay, a bit Japanese minivan extendish, but some ppl like it. just too much, too pointy, I think the cobalt would look better with a flat verticle front, following the original curve, something more european than asian.

damn page 2.... yah, like venoms.. I would buy that if i had a coupe and a couple grand.

imo.

thanks all if u like certain rims or kits sned me nice sized pic and ill try to throw it on a cobalt to let you see what it will look like!

Yeah its what mine was suppose to look like, but I cant do graphics very well :red:

But look now we got some more people makin them! :cssNET:

Here is pics of the final proposal after all the suggestions and alterations.

http://www.street-graffiti.com/StreetTeam/05%20Cobalt/05CobaltFront-Side-lg.gif

Let me know what everyone thinks. We get our car on Monday or Tuesday and start building then.

no vents in the rear bumper please :(

Well the front looks a lot better. I think its better that you brought it in and not have it stick way out there. I like how you connected it altogether at the bottom. I think you can have it slightly slanted out but i think its good the way it is. The sides are fine. The rear I would have gone with a sorta hump, half circle cut out for the exhaust.....unless in the pic with the yellow one you are going to have a square fading inward with a half circle cut out and as long as its not too sharp or drastic. The vent thing in the rear is kinda eehh to me but i think you can leave it . All in all I think its pretty good looking.

i think that the yellow kit u fixed is the best. looks great ill def buy it

it still looks ricey to me
it should be simpler, as a cosmetic enhacement, it looks liek youre trying to redesign a whole nother car

i want to see a badass brush guard

i agree with the whole make less flashy thing. and the american tuners comment is so true. we arent into the flash from my experience. i personally like the rk sport kit cuz it is clean and simple.

If i seen that kit on a cobalt i would throw tomatos at the owner.


Ok seriously: it doesn't seem you took our advice. The yellow one looks almost the same as the red you 1st proposed, Mind you the lip on the yellow does look much better.
You seem to be forgetting that WE HAVE FOG LIGHTS!. Most people don't want to lose them and your propsed front bumpers don't have a place for them. Yes i realise you can stick them in those side slots, but that isn't going to be a very clean looking install.




The rear of the cobalt coupe is very rounded and curvy. The you stick the squarest looking bumper possible on it. Even the vents or cut-outs in the rear have sharp edges. It just does not flow with the lines of the car. It makes it look tank-like. I guess there is some market for those drastic kits, most of us here are not into that. If you are catering to a different crowd then tell us that and we'll shut up. But you ask our opinions and input we give it to you and then you ignore most of it. I'm just wondering why?

I agree with whats been said. The RKSport kit apeals more to me personally because its clean and not super flashy.

The only reason I'm not getting the RK Sport kit is it doesn't have provisions for the factory fog lights. The Razzi kit does, but it's front end is horrible. I would love a kit like the RK Sport setup with fog light mounts. I'd buy that.

The original equipment fog lights will work with our kit.

Really? How's that work? Do I have to cut holes or do you guys mold in knock out plugs?
