I have some damage on my rear bumper on my G5 and I figured instead of going through the hastle to have it replaced for $800 I'd look for salvage ones from a Cobalt. Are they going to fit exactly the same, and is this going to work?

 

any help would be appreciated

 

no they wont work, the tail lights are diff...... edit, coupe or 4 door?

 

i thought the G5 bumpers are the same as the cobalt coupe and with the sedan tailights i thought that was the only difference

 

no the coupe bumper wraps around the tail lights on the cobalt

 

The coupes are different. Only the cobalt sedan and G5 sedan share the same bumper. I'm in the business. trust me.

 

I've got the two door coupe G5. If I got a bumper from a Cobalt sedan then would I be fine?

 

No.

But you could get the bumper from the Cobalt coupe and the tail lights from the cobalt coupe that would work.

Later

 

I don't get why?

Doesn't the Cobalt sedan have the same taillights as my G5?

 

i thought so too.....

 

no ur rverse lights r in the bumper, in the cobalt sedan their in the tailights, so ud be without rev lights unless u bought the lights too

Erm... what he said... in good english...

The reverse lights for the G5 are located in the rear bumper, on each side of the tag recess... on the Cobalt sedan they are located inside the tail lights.

If you put on a Cobalt rear bumper you will have to get Cobalt tail lights for the reverse lights to function. And if I'm not mistaken that's some kind of national law that all cars have to have reverse lights.
