I'm too lazy at this point to search....doesn't help the messicans i know


Has anyone tried to put a g5 grill insert (the black part and painted part) on a cobalt bumper? Here's the problem that I see:



The center painted bar seems to be attached to the bumper itself. Does anyone know if this is true???

 

The painted part is part of the bumper. This should be evidence of so.

Wow, now that I read it properly, I understand. Pontiac G5 bumpers, both base and gt, use a cobalt bumper. They from the factory actually cut out the bar, as the painted part of the grill on the G5 actually clips into the black G5 grille. Will post a picture.

dammit...oh well. I had an idea to put a g5 grill insert on my cobalt, but I guess it will take more than what I think. Oh well...off to the pick n' pull! lol

 

unless someone local wants to trade bumpers?????

 

All it'll take is 2 parts, and cutting out the bar on the cobalt cover, the 2 part grille for the G5 does cover the cut out bar.

 

I have a G5, and I have recently noticed that they used the cobalt cover, all they do is paint the bumper. THEN cut out the bar and assemble it for a G5.

 

i already have the grill insert. I'm just not sure of my hand,

 

Just use a dremel once the grill is in place u wont see where you cut

 

What do you mean by insert? and the factory left 1/4 inch of material left from the bar on my bumper.

 

It's the same as cobalts with the chrome grill insert. Just cut the bar

 

yup just cut it as close as you can. when i painted my grilles black i noticed this. then when i got hit and run i got my bumper from the dealer and they cut it off with a hacksaw right infront of me

 

I cut middle bar cut off left and right side insert lock you only need middle one for g5 grill and have to cut off the 4 bottom lock inserts on g5 cover plate for grill

 

like stated above, the G5 bumper is just a cobalt bumper with the center bar cut and a different grill insert
