are they vinyl?
also, where did you get them from?
I'm looking for them too.
My buddy has a vinyl plotter, and we even tried cutting them out.

if you have any pics with them not fitting post them.
If its vinyl I can probably help you out.

other people here have gotten them and said they don't cover 100%, but you couldn't really tell until you got pretty close up

ok so i sent the company custombrakelights.com a email and pictures and they agreed they didnt fit and are refunding my money now the question is does anyone have a set for 08 cobalts if in fact the ss changed size and style
i will have no problem ordering anything else from that company as they are backing up there product thats rare now days from what ive seen in the aftermarket
thanks all

thanks FLY for the link.

those would be the perfect item for whoever is looking for them.

my problem is that they are freaking 22 bucks.

I know for a fact that it doesn't take them more than 4 bucks to make. and thats PUSHING it.

thats a freaking ripoff if I ever saw one.

Paint it yourself. Painters tape, razorblade, trim paint, and clearcoat. Paint looks better then vinyl too.
