Trying to mount a RKSport G5 lip on my SS and I've read it need s modifying, but not sure what. I think I have to trim the inner part in the wheel well, but is there anything else?

Teaser pic!


I'll post pics of the whole car fixed after this is mounted

 

dude that looks awesome. you get the front end taken care of?

 

My friend has this lip and there's no modifying. He said "i drilled 2 holes and put screws in it into the read fenderliners". And "oo. yeah i just used screws and screwed em into the lip than into fender liner."

 

Yup, Nose Is All Fixed too! I'll.Make A Thread Once I Get This Figured Out.

 

Alissa,Does You Friend Have An SS?

 

No

 

i am said friend. installed onto my 2.2 no problem.
look up kevin wilkerson on facebook. he has a lsj and he has this lip.

i am said friend. installed onto my 2.2 no problem.
i sent this thread to a friend who has a lsj he can chime in

 

I suggest removing the lower rear grille first. But I have no idea honestly haha

 

He did. You can tell in the pic that he took it off.

 

Couldn't remember exactly what it looked like. Good luck.

 

I sent you a pm guy

 

Jealous! Wish i bought it first! Ill get one in time. it was my understanding when i talked to him about it that it was this lip:



thats why i didnt buy it.

 

I would like that on my sedan

 

They fit on the sedans, you jus gotta trim a lil, like you would if you had an ss

 

Ya I know lol. I don't feel like modifying another lip. I still have to fix mine.

 

Yah not a fan of the Cobalt version. You have to have duals to pull it off, the G5 one I can get away with out them.

 

I have the rksport g5 lip on my....g5 go figure lol
no modification was needed for mine

 

Yeah LS, LT ,and G5 bumpers don't need modification to fit. The SS bumper has a different contour at the bottom.

 

aren't the rear bumpers the same on an ss, except with a lip?

 

Yes and the ss bumpers are tad bit longer. Means they sit a little bit lower.

But they are the same shape.

 

I saw an ss 2.4 with the lip and it didnt need modding

 

If you just saw it, how do you know that?


Besides, the SS/NA also have a different rear bumper than the boosted SS

 

^ no they don't
2.4 coupe rear bumpers r the same as the 2.0l ss rear bumpers just one has a grill insert and one has a lip

There should b no modification required to get that to fit a coupe

The modifications need to happen when going on a sedan

 

Ss/NA bumpers and ss/tc/sc bumpers are the same minus the lip. Silly gooses

 

silly geese*
