Did they change the rear bumper on the g5 in diff years because my 08 g5 gt 2.4 rear bumper looks nothing like the one he swapped out and put on his Balt. I'm just wondering. Because I thought all the 2.4 had the exact same one. And I have pics in my gallery of my dual exhaust set up it was easy the biggest pain in the ass part was trying to make the cuts match in the bumper. I then took a Crome trim and put around the edges to hide the rough edges where I cut.

 

i think what your talking about is that he put the ss lip on the bottom of the g5 bumper

 

They didn't change. Check your eyes or something.

 

lol I dont get why anyone would want to do this, I absolutly LOVE the SS S/C/T/C Rear bumpers. But everyone likes different things lol.

Anyways thers an SS T/C with a G5 G/T rear bumper running around my area, and yeah it does look kinda cool, he also has the highrise.

I hated my SS N/A bumper to lol, people couldn't figure out if it was an LT or an SS lololol it was a bastard.

 

I guess you beat me to it =(

I am in the process of doing this exact thing on my 2.4L If only I could find someone interested in a 1 to 1 swap for my trunk and bumper.

 

The rear lip matches the side skirts now. It just looks smoother/cleaner in my opinion.


That part sucks. It took me over a year to sell the original parts.






Here is a better picture.

 

I may end up giving up trying to find someone for a trade and buy them outright from a junkyard. I'm hoping the area we're moving to this month has better selection.

 

420so bad ass! I wanted to do this too. I was just pricing parts. man o man...

I did find a great buy on a lower valance on ebay. problem is its in new york. $200 for shipping. If I could pick it up, its for sale for $50

someone should ****** this up! wish i didnt live 11 hours or I'd pick it up

 

soooo clean! thanks for posting this up! i plan on doing this once i can either find one in a junkyard here or find a person to trade 1 for 1. love the shaved trunk aswell, completes the look!

 

Hmm as much as like this look.



That looks amazing.

 

?

Wingless with no grilles in an SS lip?

 

Retard previous owner did that.

 

Why did you randomly post it in this thread?

 

On topic updated picture, YYZ V1 springs. I'm currently putting on BC Racing coilovers.

 

Bro if you arw trying to troll me, was here back in 08. I am down with all the old school members.i complemented your car.cut the newbie bs. I am not new.

 

I'd still trade my G5 lip for an SS lip.

 

I don't see how that's relevant to anything. This thread was about me finding out if a G5 bumper would work on a Cobalt.

 

I personally really liked the g5 bumper with the SS lip on my old G5. Just something to look into if you think about changing it up a little, I know you have a lot of money in that gt rear lip right now though.

Ill see if I can find a picture.

 

 

Hmmmm. That looks clean.
