I've got an '08 Cobalt Sport model w/ the 2.4 L 4cyl, etc. The sport package, I'm fairly sure, came with all the ground effects present on the SS, minus the spoiler and badging of course. I've got the lower bumper extension on the front and the webbed extension on the rear bumper that sort of blends the exhaust more in with the body, and I've got the fog lights etc.

Well, my stock '08 lower bumper grille managed to pop out b/c I hit something or something hit it on the highway, I don't know, I didn't even realize I'd lost it until I parked my car and saw the front end a few days later.

I called up the dealer and they wanted to charge 180 bucks for the part. I said eff that, and started looking online. I found a great deal at crateenginedepot.com where they have stock OEM cobalt grilles available. Since personally in my opinion the plastic sort of billet style grille I had on my '08 sport wasn't exactly all that sporty, and the lower replacement part still costs 135 on there as compared to 180, i figured i might take this as an opportunity to mod my car a bit.

They have an SS grille for '08-'09 year on CED available for total 165 plus S&H, that would get me the top grill and bottom grille all for cheaper than the dealer wanted to charge for the uglier lower grille. I wanted to know if that SS part will fit my '08 sport? I think it should, since I am almost 100% positive all the body parts etc. for the bumpers and ground effects are the same as the ones used on the SS from the same year, but I wanted to check here first before I dropped 165 on the parts.

Thanks, and sorry it's so long.

Here's the link for the part I'd like to install to replace my '08 Sport standard grille:

Thanks again!

 

it will work. i have it on mine. its sweet. if your looking after market and want a real billet grille look at i think carriage works. they have some sweet chrome ones. theres also a brand out there that carries a chrome mesh kit. ive only seen like 1 member on here with it. its pretty sweet

 

Yes it will fit

 

That was a long post with such short answers. lol.

 

Similar situation as me with that grille set-up, and yeah, it'll fit - I'm getting mine done within the next couple weeks.

 

the only ones i think they dont fit on is the ltz models. the one with that ugly chrome outline and center piece
