Lower Radiator Grille Cover

I am looking to buy a Lower Radiator Grille Cover (SS and SS s/c) - 15773841 for my 05/SS/SC. Is this the right part number to fit my car. How easy is it to install?

Do I call my dealer to purchase this part?

So I should just ask the dealer for the 2006 Cobalt SS/SC lower radiator grille.

I have placed the order for a lower grille... damn expensive in Canada. $118.00 CDN.
It is the lower grille from the 2006 Cobalt SS please tell him that it will fit because it is non refundable.

You can check these guys out. These grills are a little too flashy for me but may be what you are looking for.

On crateengine they're like 50$ + shipping and I'm not waiting :P. I rather get that grille on my car then to have my radiator fan be damaged by wind. That's also been known to happen just within 200 to 1000 miles the car starts on the road :P.

I could not get delivery to Toronto Ontario. I ordered my through my dealer for $118 canadian.

The grilles on http://www.cloud-rider.com/screens_...hp?vhcl_id=3915 are ok, but something like that will be an add-on next spring. I will probably do an CAI and eibach springs next spring as well and I will look at the GM Phase 1 and 2.

I decided to get the grille and winter tires/rims so that I can make through the winter.

...the parts guy showed me the picture on his computer at it was the right part. He even said that if it didn't fit properly that I didn't have to take it.

Well the parts guy was wrong. He ordered the lower grill for a base Cobalt. We have ordered the "right" one but it is almost twice the size and likely 3x the price. I guess I'll find out the beginning of next week.
Also I ordered SS badges for where the front bowtie is. I'm thinking of either removing the bowtie and putting on the SS badge or painting the bowtie red and placing the SS badge directly to the bowtie itself.

lower grille for SS S/C installed

received my lower grille piece for mine on Friday.
it's part # 15773841
the invoice says "List = $60" and they charged me $45
so with sales tax I paid $47.70 (still less than ordering from cratenginedepot.com once you factor in shipping)

It snapped in easily, just like the crateenginedepot.com site indicated it would.
It's not a "super tight fit" .. has a bit of room to move left/right but it stays in place fine overall and looks good.
