Yes it will. But your looking around spending 300+ on it.

it fits, but i don't think the loss of rear vision is worth it. you wont gain any benefits from it either.

yea... you can get away with it on the 2.4 b/c the SS/NA and SS/SC look so similar... but on a base specially a 4 door it'd look like it doesnt belong. You'd get a lot of **** for it... not just on the site, but probably laughed at behind your back... or to your face for that matter on the street. but hey. if you really like it, go for it. its your car.. do what you like.

Its a direct fit for sure. I did it because I got the SS/SC spoiler for free from some kid I met at Moroso one night, he has an SS/SC and hated the spoiler and liked my LT sport spoiler. So we swapped strait up for it. I actually noticed I get 2 - 3 mpg than I did with the other one. I know the sport spoiler is purely cosmetic and I reallyt dont know if the SS/SC is functional, but I did notice a slight difference.

No it wont, you will have to drill your trunk for the bolt pattern of the High Rise wing. The SC wing will cover the old holes however, just dont screw up drilling the new ones

Edit: THE COUPE AND SEDAN HAVE DIFFERENT WINGS WITH DIFFERENT BOLT PATTERNS. THE SEDAN'S BOLT PATTERN IS SMALLER THAN THE COUPE'S

just go get an aluminum wing from autozone. It'll be cheaper and it'll look about the same... like complete ass.

I dunno if you've ever seen an ss/sc wing on a sedan b4, but it's probably not what u picture...

I saw one a month ago...it was a red sedan....it looked horrible. The roof line of the sedan makes it look horrible.

Sedans have different bolt patterns than both the Coupe and SS
The SS and Coupe's wings bolts are ~29" apart and the sedans are more like ~33"

I did some research, and if a sedan was to drill holes for an SC Spoiler, the contact patch for the SC Spoiler will over up the original Sedan Spoiler's holes, just make sure when you drill the new holes they are damn well accurate

I hope you were kidding about that, if not then....

Spoilers are designed to create drag, not get rid of it. The drag is used to create downforce to assist in keeping your wheels planted at high speed. So saying you're getting 2-3 MPG more than you were is kinda like saying your spoiler gave you 10 extra horsepower. hehe.

Also, a spoiler won't be effective unless you are driving at high speeds. My guess is above 100mph there might be some effect, however, because the cobalt is a FWD vehicle, all the spoiler really does even at those speeds is to provide a tad more stability.

Basically, the spoiler is there for looks, and that's about it.

Edit: NM, After looking at your sig I realize you probably weren't kidding. It'd probably be wise to keep your air filter IN whenever the car is started, but that's just me I guess. heh.
