That looks too plain...like it's just missing things...I could see if maybe it had the G5 reverse lights on the bumpers or something...but just the 1 light on either side...it just makes it looks like someone got into shaving things and got a little too into it or something...

If everyone's done posting there exhaust setups...

Test fitting...
I'll need to adjust the exhaust a little, it's touching the bumper




I think I should put the extra spoiler on my civic for sure lol

You can route the reverse lights to the bumper.

I personally would of got the 4dr SS rear bumper w/o the reverse lights. They just don't look right on there. IMO. Granted they are useful at night. I rarely put myself in a position where I have to reverse and don't drive that much at night.

Also would shave that trunk key hole. A simple but very nice appearance modification. Does anyone ever use the actual key to open their trunk?

Looking good so far. Keep the updates coming.

I wanted to use the lower valance though. The SS sedan bumper doesn't have slots to mount one.

How are you gonna put a sedan bumper on a coupe? How does that work?




I think it looks SO much cleaner now. I wish they had made a G5 GXP because I can't stand the Cobalt trunk. Fake lights and fake mesh? Yuck.

Almost the exact same bumper. Not 100% but 99% sure you would have to fab up some additional mounting brackets for both the bumper and tail lights, but wouldn't be that hard.

Like he said though, if your not going to be able to do something like that the G5 works a lot better.

You would probably have to fab up a lot more than mounting brackets to get a sedan bumper to fit properly on a coupe, since the lights are likely shaped a bit different and the trunk itself is a completely different shape requiring the bumper to be a different shape around it.
