The SS rear lip will not fit on the LS rear without trimming. It's made for the SS bumper, which is longer and slightly shaped different on the bottom. Both those RK lips should fit fine, and there is also a GM lip kit made for the LS bumper that looks pretty good

If you put a ss lip on a ls coupe bumper, the lip doesn't require trimming...the only time you have to trim the ss lip is when you put it on a sedan.

On an SS bumper the g5 lip does require fitting. On an ls bumper its going to require work

Yah honestly out of all the options for our cars, i think the SS lip looks the worst. i like the Pontiac G5 GT lip, then the G5 RK lip, Cobalt RK lip, and then the SS lip.

the RK ones are nicely priced, so i would probably say go with the G5 RKSport lip.

Ya. They come on all the g5 gt. I wish gm would have put the rear ss lip on the sedans from the factory so I wouldn't of had to do it myself.

pricing is a big factor as well, so far...

gm ss kit: 155
rk sport cobalt : 177
rk sport g5 : 177
gm g5 gt : 175
