First off.. only car that has an intercooler is the LNF balts. I believe the radiator and radiator support is the same for all cobalts. I was test fitted for Mishimoto radiator and they were trying to make it universal for both the ss/sc and ss/tc so they stuck with the stock dimensions. Since its a cobalt, Im pretty sure the rad support and rad is the same for them all.

So is the bumper mangled too? Were you trying to jack the car up from the front of the sub frame and it slipped off because you went too high? I just don't understand how this happens

All front end parts are interchangeable other than radiator and IC

if that jack went through the core support thats a huge ordeal and a body shop with a tram gauge and frame bench needs to take care of it.

Shouldn't he have put the car on jack stands then jacked the tranny up slightly to do that? How does he expect to get the mount off if there is tranny weight on it. That's a costly mistake. Sucks.

I remember there was some other toolbag on here a looooong time ago that did the exact same thing. He took out the radiator, the condenser, and the intercooler.

Lmao. ..almost woke up the baby laughing at this.

Op I'm sure there's tons of stock ic for sale and radiators can be grabbed from a junk yard if the owner don't want to buy new
