Alrighty. Here's the deal. so i have a SS 2dr 2.4L but i want the SC body kit. Anyone know where i can get the exact kit. I've heard gmpartsdirect.com, but im concerned because there are no pictures or item descriptions and i might get the wrong pieces. and since shipping freight isnt exactly cheap i really dont wanna screw this **** up. So if anyone has the exact part numbers i need (and is 100% positive they are correct) that would be appreciated. Also from what i understand, i just need the front and rear lips b/c everything else is the same? Just looking for confirmations and input thanks guys.


Oh yea... I would also be willing to pay for front/rear SC lips if anyone has some they're trying to get rid of. any color will do but black would be perfered.

please dont do it. im totaly anti S/C wanna be body kits... in my opinion. It makes us with the S/C look bad.. Besides.. theres alot better and nicer body kits at www.cobalt-addiction.com they have some really nice body kits at good prices. you should check them out

 

IMO I think the S/C kit looks best for what is out so far. I posted part numbers a while back, you can search for the thread I made. I also have a paper here that the dealer printed for me that listed all the parts needed to do exactly what you wanted.

I went to my dealer and asked them that question, so they looked up all the info for me. If you go that route, it is going to cost you about 1800 with labor, paint, everything.

I've been thinking about doing this too. No wing or anything... just the front lip and rear bumper/lip (we were debating over whether it was one or two pieces). It's not about immitating the SS/SC or wanting to be like the SS/SC. I bought the 2.4 for a reason. I love it. I just want some kind of kit to fill out the bottom better. So far, I just think that the SS/SC lips are the most stylish. The only one that comes close is the RK Sport kit... but I hate the front on that kit.

As far as giving the SS/SC a bad name... I don't think that's necessarily true. No one's putting on a SC badge. This is about styling... not posing.

 

Not many people will even notice the supercharged badge so when they see SS they automatically think SS/SC. People still do it on this forum, when they have SS threads they think SS/SC. Just because you don't have the supercharged emblem(which by the way is really really small), when they see the front and rear bumper of the SS/SC, and then see the SS emblem, they will think it's an ss/sc.

 

as long as there is no supercharged badge on a 2.4 its all good.....unless you supercharge it

 

correct me if im wrong, but isnt it just simply called a Lip Kit?
cus its not the entire bumper, its just a small add on strip

 

Well the SS/SC comes with 18" wheels. Does this mean that 2.4 owners can't put 18s on either? What about LS and LT owners buying the body colored mirrors? Are they commiting a crime too?

 

no, but i so see where hes coming from, but think of it this way,
if you have a dodge Neon, theres no mistaking a neon R/T with a neaon SRT4....they look completly different, but thats not the case with the NA SS and the SS S/C so he doesnt want NA SS's to givve the S/C's a bad name...regardless, GM is making a pretty large profit on the N/A SS. because they are selling, (well from what ive seen) like 2-3 times as many, the crazy part is that its only an appearance package that the NA SS people are paying for (dont take this as a stab people with the 2.4, thats not at all what i intend it to be). i have seen about 7 or 8 2.4 SS's on the road, but only 1 other 2.0, it doesnt bother mo in the slightest, cus i know what i got under the hood

 

Exactly... I dont want to do this because i want to be a poser or anything. Honestly the SC body kit looks better than anything ive seen thats in production. Especially since im a big fan of the foglights on the front.

 

God, I'd love to buy mirrors. Too bad the don't come in my color

 

You mean if i try to get the kit from the dealer? I was planning on buying them from gmpartsdirect which was about 400 for the front and rear lips after shipping, and getting them painted myself.

 

Umm... regular SS owners are not just paying for an appearance package over the LT or LS models if that is what you mean. Not only does the SS have a larger engine, but it has a different suspension as well. I don't understand where you were coming from there.

If you meant that we are paying for an appearance package when wanting the SS/SC lips, then yes, we are. But how is that different from anyone else buying a body kit?

Whatever you meant by that statement, it certainly didn't make sense to me.

And as for taking the SS with your SS/SC... duh. No one here thinks that the lips will make their SS faster. We already said that we just want it for the styling. I bought the SS because it was a better value.

And BTW, once the S/C or turbos start coming out for the 2.4, your 2.0 will be left in the dust. I'm not being mean, and i'm not being arrogant (I probably won't even invest in F/I for my 2.4)... but I'm just being honest.

 

Everyone keeps saying that once turbos and superchargers come for the 2.4, we will own the 2.0s. That is stupid. It is going to cost a heavy penny for put either one in our 2.4's.

Put that same amount of money into a 2.0 to make it fair, and they will own us.

You can put any large amount of many into a car and it will be faster than another car that is stock.

 

well i think that the 2.4 is alot more advanced and with proper tuning of the vvt and ecu with a nice turbo kit the 2.4 will still come out on top

 

hands down the ss s/c appearences looks far better then any other body kit ont he market. its not too aggressive but yet gives it that mean sleek look. I mean honestly the only other kit that looks good is the wide body kit from dtm which costs 1800 bucks.

 

You have to take the higher price of the 2.0 from the dealer into account to make that argument. If I put $2000 into my 2.4, I will have paid about the same amount I would have for a 2.0. With that said, consider the total investment in the car.

Of course we don't know for sure yet... nothing is out for the 2.4. But still, it's a safe assumption. I'm not about getting into a war over which SS is better. The thread was dealing with the SS/SC styling anyway. My point was simply that the 2.4 isn't necessarily an "inferior" car. People complain that it is and that lookign like a 2.0 will give the 2.0 a bad rep.

 

i will have the front and side skirts of the SS/ SC in black for sale. I dont need them anymore since my car is being kitted. PM me for details or offer. The rear is spoken for already.

 

im not sure why everyone has a problem in my opinion the only thing anybody notices about the supercharged model is the damn spoiler. hell some people want to race me and some dont just because i HAD the spoiler. nobody notices the lips or the 18s or even the emblems the thing that really seperates the models is the spoiler. thats why mine is gone i couldnt get a race when i wanted and i had no problem getting them when i didnt.

 

Awesome! PMing u as we speak

 

nowhere in my post did i say adding a lip kit would would increase your performance, the fact that u put one of these after ur statement makes u seem more like a *****

simply put, i guarantee 90% of the people who purchased the 2.4 SS have absolutely no intentions of going FI

in general, my post was, in many words, to state that the 2.0 SS, in MY OPINION was well worth the extra 1 or 2 grand, BC it is FI, with a few more STOCK upgrades performance wise than the 2.4. the 2.4 SS people are probly going to be waiting a while for any FI system to come out (unless theres somthing out that i dont know about)
any way im sure that im gona get flamed for this post too

 

there is a kit ut for the solstice already from hahn and i belive it is being made for a cobalt 2.4 specific application as well, im part of the 10% that have all intentions of going f/i and may very well be one of the 1st to do so this summer

 

imo the ss s/c is a much better deal then the 2.4 n/a for an extra few grand. not only do you get a lot more hp and a s/c engine but better looks and perfomance. Only reason why one would buy the 2.4 is to have the luxury of a 4 door or doesnt want to drive a stick. [ atleast thats what i think].

i on the other hand purchased a 2.2 and im happy w/ it. Im a full time college student and only work during the summer so it would of been nearly impossibly to save that much money from summer to pay 600-700 dollars a month for car payment and insurence and gas. now i pay 420ish a month for cay payment and insurence.

and as for going for FI. as far as im concerend their are only 2 people doing that and that is halfcent and (forgot the other guys name. he started peicing it together tho) . stock to stock the s/c is worth more imo. compaired to the 2.2 and the 2.4

 

the 2.4 just needs the same ammount of aftermarket support as the 2.0 and you will start seeing the 2.4 is a very respectable car
