I am planning on getting one here shortly and I am wondering how hard is it to install? is it just clips? is there a how to? I know a few people have made the swap already.

 

I did. It was very simple and obvious. Really don't need a how to.
You can do it

 

how much do they run for?

 

Were did you order it from? I'm thinking about buying one.

Thanks man.

 

but how is it connected? that is my biggest worry, is it just screws or clips? also how do I take off the chevy emblem?


wait i have to pull off the whole bumper?

 

enginecratedepo 143.00 cheap and easy to install

oh buy the way thats uper and lower

 

Its just screws and clips there are instructions on CED's website if you stuck. GM recommends that you take the front bumper off but when I did it I didn't take it off. The chevy emblem is where I got stuck the nuts that hold it on have a locking tab that looks like a washer on the end I had to pry them with a flat head screwdriver then just unscrew the nuts. And the lower grille just snaps into place and the clips insure that it doesn't come out.

 

awesome thanks, I am glad you don't have to remove the bumper.

 

np i installed mine on tuesday two days after I ordered it. There are pics in my gallery and if you have any other questions feel free to ask.

 

looks kinda of a pain

 

not really the hardest part IMO was removing the chevy emblem

 

man that looks sexy, I am thinking that I will get the SS/TC grille, Ark antenna, and CED rotors next. about how long did it take you to install it?

 

To me the hardest part was getting my old grille out, I could get all the tabs out, but with an extra set of hands and some force it came out. Its easier if you take the headlights out also

 

it took an hour at the most....longest was pulling the old one out, then you know how to do the new one....had to drill a couple of holes for the intake splash guard...they're on the opposite side for the tc.

 

It took me about an hour and a half cause I got stuck on that darn emblem.

 

lol 10mm socket ftw

 

awesome thanks guys. I should be placing an order next weekend or so.

 

I had one but the nuts just turning but wouldn't come out. Thats alright though cause those two screws that are up by the radiator weren't even there whoever put my front end together forgot those screws.

 

sorry for reviving an old thread but will this fit a 2.2? will the ss grill fit a 2.2 as well? i know a lot of parts on these cars are interchangeable, so i was just wondering.. i can get a nice discount from my gfs brother in law who works at a chevy dealer. lol

 

Upper grille will fit 2.2 (LS/LT); bottom grille will not fit 2.2 (LS/LT). SS Fascia will fit on LS/LT -- look for a how-to on FASCIA by Halfcent; read through the thread for all the info -- https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...ghlight=Fascia.

 

sweet... exactly what i needed to know

css.net is a great resource thanks man!
