it should just go right on, you might just need to cut a piece off so the exhausr tip can fit, thats all i got

There's a member that made a Tutorial on how to put the SS S/C rear lip on a LS. 4 ppl tried it and failed. the body line will not contour with the ends, you will end up with other lap.

Now the question is, is the G5 GT rear bumper cover the same as the lower half of the base model G5 and Cobalts?

u may want to look here this will be similar ... the g5 had slits already cut so does the ss/sc of course and ss/na but the ls/lt i belive dont thats what makes it harder. it will fit but measure measure measure and line the edges up correctly and shouldnt have any problems. my slits were on the body line of the bumper but i belive the ls/lt isnt

they end up with over lap because ppl try to cut the slits to low and i repeat this too low. iv seen pics of this before. trust me i was nervous as hell to try to install the ss/sc rear lip on to my base model g5

yes it will look the same but let me get a side view of his car ull see what i mean about the lip not lowering the body any in the rear. it still looks stock height if u no what i mean. and im about 95 percent positive the ls/lts are not marked already like the ss/na and g5 base but you could easily find out by looking. thats what i did to double check before taking it off but i hope this all helps

yeah just alil but alil to get on my nerves lol i dont think it would look as bad without the front lip but i guess i wanted the car to even out for the most part. plus i got really good deals on my parts. but ended in a mess. all and all not many g5s have the ss/sc rear lip and iv never seen one with the tc rims so i try to be original

yeah i know that.
and i feel you on that rear lip how it isnt as low. idk what to do now. i either get it and install it and see how bad it looks. orrr i go for my original plan and get the front ss bumper with no lip ss sideskirts and the ss/na rear bumper and diffuser and call it a day.
