my suggestion is OEM and nothing more. Ive seen a ton of body kits, and while some might be acceptable none of them look good. Most are ugly, gaudy, or just of poor quality.

I think the OEM SS body kit looks clean and is very well done, i wouldnt suggest anything else. If you want to be the ricer in the crowd then go for it, people might say it looks good to your face, behind your back will be another story.

Just my $0.02

It actually looks prettttyyy awful.

If you really need to mess with the body, just get a lip kit or something.

the only decent looking kit imo is the rksport kit for the g5, which would probly require a bit of custom work to get it to fit right. But its the only one that really looks decent imo

You seriously need to take a look at 99% of the body kits on this site and look at the fitment quality. It is just not there. I am just trying to save you from ruining a car. To get these body kits to fit right they take a LOT of good quality expensive body work, and since you are afraid to even drill holes i doubt you will go to that length.

Your money would be best spent elsewhere, but hey if you do and you have an SS and are looking to sell the front fascia spoiler i need one. Someone stole if off the Balt while it sat in a parking lot.

Agreed, if you get any kit, get the GM SS one it is the best looking IMO, but if your not a SS, don't put the badges.

I like stock kit's.

Just put rims and lower it on coils and it would look 10x better than a body kit at 4x4 stance.

Putting a bodykit on a Cobalt is like getting repeatedly punched in the face. Sure you could do it, but would you really want too?

Wait im confused you wont put a lip kit cause you have to I quote "drill holes in the body"?? but you want to put a kit on? those are deff. not bolt on applications and back to the drilling things you wont put holes in your body but you'll put 8 or so self tappers in you trunk for that wing you stole from NASA????

Personally I think the Gravana AMG Wide body kit looks amazing. Im content with the stock SS look but if I ever wanted a kit, that would be the one.
