Difference between Cobalts...
Key things to know the difference between Cobalt SS's based on just seeing one....
SS/TC have different upper and lower grills
ALL SS/TC have Brembo's
SS/NA rear bumper is different
There is a 4 door SS/TC... Any other 4 door SS is SS/NA
05 and 06 SS/SC all have high rise spoilers... low rise was an option only on 07's
SS/TC have different upper and lower grills

Low rise spoiler was a option
best way to tell differences between ss/tc ss/sc from ss/na is the front and rear lip on the bumpers.
Typically people with ss/na's don't do this mod because it is very expensive.
ss/tc's also have different upper and lower grills, but that can be easily mimiced.

They make a Turbo 4 door SS, so all 4 doors are not N/A
And as far as the SS with the low rise, I've got a SS/SC that came with the low rise. I believe in 05 & 06 the high rise was standard but in 07 in became an option. Not 100% on that tho. But full on SS/SC's did have a low rise option in atleast some years, like my 07 SS/SC

Easy way to tell an SC is the Rims, TC dot put the Wide spoke rims on there cars
Also the SC have horizontal upper grills and no lower grills
SC also have 2 side emblems while TC only have the SS

Theres a sticky on this somewhere...
But..
The high rise was standard on The SS from 05-08, in 08 the low rise was an option; 09 the high rise was an option, 2010 its only the low rise
I know they changed the G85 package with the SS/SC's in 07, has to do with the recurs, not sure on the specifics tho..
2009 SS/TC's had the USB option on the Radio's along with an RPD option,
2010 SS/TC's had both standard
LSD's always been an option(for some ridiculous reason)
an along from subtle interior changes and engine changes the LS-LT1 have been the same
They stopped marketing the 2.4 as the SS/NA in 07 or 08? after that it was jus the 'sport' model

2005- SS emblems halfway up the door
2006- SS emblems on the bottom of the door
2007- slightly different wheels. a slight indent in the center of the wheel with an extra lip on the backside of the spoke. Also chrome was an option.
2008-10 all look the same lol
IMO Well except for the brand new part. I will never buy brand new again (car) unless I make it rich some how 
Headlights in 05-06 have the amber cover by the turn signals, 05-06 have a different steering wheel than 07- UP. Radios in 05-06 are different that 07 - UP. No OnStar available in 05-06. All years except SS/TC had different types of tires. SS/NA have 17's whereas SS/SC have 18's. Did the GM badges on the fenders carry through all years?
