05-10 Chevrolet Cobalt 2dr ZEN Body Kit Full Bumper Kit on eBay.ca (item 260677883609 end time 13-Nov-10 00:37:27 EST)

Is PFRP Composite Good? Problems?

What do you guys think? It costs 600$ Shipped.
I have a victory red cobalt

 

i think it looks alright

 

i wouldnt get it if you had a ss but to each their own, i think it looks cleaner than most of the other kits on the market though

 

i don't own an SS. i own an LS

 

go for it, but get it done right and have a body shop paint it and install it and get it fitting right.

 

Ehh, a bit extreme for me. I've been looking at that one for some time now but something tells me no. If you like it go for it and take pics of it when your done.

 

Actually, for aftermarket...surprisingly restrained. Looks decent, but DO NOT count on it fitting properly AT ALL. Just be warned...

I'd maybe do an SS swap for a cleaner and hassle free swap...

 

i already have that kit. well can i say, had. wrecked the balt and put the stock front and rear bumpers back on. look at my pics if you want to see it. and yeah, it wont fit right at all when you first get it. there will be alot of fabrication needed to even make it look decent. after all its fiberglass and not urethane. itll be in the neighborhood of 1000 to 1500 to get it sanded, fitted, primed painted and installed. like the guy above me said, be warned. 600 doesnt sound like much, but itll take much more to look good. if i were you, id buy some coilovers

 

Yeah, and fiberglass SUCKS. Stuff wont flex, it'll just break.

 

that's be best looking body kit we have imo

 

eh dont do it.

 

kk So since my car is an LS would an SS body kit fit directly?

 

Yes it would. The only thing you would have to do is go to the dealer and buy the wheel well extension for your wheel well to match up with the SS bumper with the lower holes. Some people will tell you that you need an entirely new wheel well, however they are wrong. All you need is that extension on both sides. Other than that it should be a direct bolt on.

 

yeah man, just get the ss kit for real. you really dont want to do with fiberglass. urethane can take some abuse where fiberglass cant

 

better than most worse than factory ss.

 

Anyone have the part number for the SS front bumper or a site i can buy off?

thanks

 

the fitment looks horrid
