those tail lights will look stupid on the coupe and I was still wondering why the hell they put them on the sedan in the first place. Trade in your SS and buy a 06' pursuit GT coupe. They already have those fugly tail lights.
The conversion won't work correctly for one simple reason, your rear valance will NOT fit a non-ss bumper without some working being done to it. If you were to remove your valance you would see why...the bumper is notched out and the valance has tabs on it which slide into those notches, here's a pic of what I mean:

I guess it could be done if you want to take a chance and notch the bumper out yourself but I look at it as being more work that it's worth...that and if you screw it up you're back to ordering another bumper

It'll take some time and money but if you think it's worth it go ahead.
But I agree about the reverse lights. I'd switch the coupe inners to be like the outter lights....so they're all red and then just have the reverse lights in the sedan tails....if that makes any sense lmao

he ought to be able to see good backing up
dude, NO! why u want to wreck that? that be like taking a corvette and putting cavalier rear tail lights on it!!!
wow
you guys have to be kidding the rear end on the sedan is way better then the coupe lights, thats why i bought the 4 door and for the insurance reasons. the coupes seem to sit higher in the rear. i work at the gm dealership and i've been it every damn chevy there is and i really do like the cobalts and the corvette's and silverado ss, avalanche is kinda ugly there weird body kits and shyt. but anyways im a new member i just got a lil offended with people hating the 4 door tail lights, imo there alot nicer but i also niteshaded them and did my third brake light, and debadged everything. cant wait to see people thoughts, will have pictures soon. i also have the base model so i dont care, ive had about 15 cars already within 2 and a half years so im cool with it. only problem ive had was having to hardwire into the radio harness, because no store carries the right one, and a green wire kept messing up my gauges but its all fixed now. anyways im glad to join really would like to get to know all of you and perhaps have some cobalt meets soon, well talk to you all soon...

I got no problem with the sedan lights. But if you're going to put sedan lights on the coupe and keep the trunk lights I think that looks horrible. If you want sedan lights on the couple, then just have the sedan lights.
This redick, Why waste the time and money to do something like this? I mean leave it the way it is. I hope whoever does this gets rearend the next day so they can try and do it again to be cool. yay
dont hate...lol
