yes, as far as sedans go, you have the total package. You are the endgame for most sedan owners around here and a true pioneer bolting up the sc wing

What I want to know is if the G5 GT rear lip fits the base bumper, since that lip just fits on the G5 base bumper (not a different rear bumper like SS Cobalts). So... SS/NA front (+ lip if you so desire), SS/GT skirts, and the G5 rear lip for the LS bumper. Cheaper than getting an SS bumper and doesn't look like you're trying to make a clone, but would look stock.

It would be really nice if some vendor sold ss lip kits. Or even maybe like gmaccessorieszone.com. gmpartsdirect.com is too confusing and you gotta order piece by piece it adds up. $

good point... i'm not going to buy an SS rear lip, i'm going to fab a way to make this SS rear lip fit on the Ls bumper, if it's done and all is well i'll make a how to, i'll try to remember to take pictures of what is happening.

you can only put ss front lip on, the rear wouldn't fit, so, there's no point. i'm pretty sure CED sells teh front lip if you ask them.

hey, i don't mind at all if they use the SS kit, as long as they don't use the badges, i'm cool with that. the SS kit is by far the best looking one available.

That lip must fit the base bumper. I can't imagine the bottom of the bumpers would be different considering everything else is the damn same between the cars

SS/SC dewinged are FTW. if i had an LS i'd get the body kit because it looks good, but would never even consider the spoiler, hell mine came with one and i don't want it.

honestly the high rise spoiler luks cheap and pep boyish... and i think that GM was tryin to cater to the Honda ricer community and make the car more appealin to them... bc from wat ive been seein alot of the LS guys r ex honda owners just makin domestic rice outta their cars and disgracing the SS SC owners... but thats just my opinion

trust me, if i had the money to buy an SS, i would have but i didn't and i'm not comfortable driving a stock LS, so i started with tints and a short throw, then I went to rims and NEEDED a drop, and obviousl by that stage i got sucked in like all you guys, and i'm loving working on the car and making it look better and better, of course i'll turbo it eventually and laugh because my car's just as fast and my insurance is half what some of you have to pay. if i could do this purchase all over again, i would probably buy a used LS and have more money to build the engine right away.

Okay, think about it this way. Yeah, the rice owners are going to see an LS topped out with an SS kit and think they smoked an actual SS, but to be honest who the hell cares about them?

My 318ti back then looked real smooth, with an M3 kit, interior pieces and a growly Stromung exhaust.

It wasn't fast by any means (about the same speed as an LS), but it's your car, not theirs, it doesn't matter whether or not they think they smoked an SS because chances are down the road,

a REAL SS, or some other fast car is going to hand their ass to them and they'll be put in their place.

I plan on doing an SS kit, not because I want to be an SS, but because that's what I believe I like on my car. As long as the badges aren't there, it doesn't matter.

I'm probably not going to have the money to turbocharge my LS through college, so cosmetics are the way to go right now.

If your car looks good, you don't have to prove ANYTHING to others performance wise(aka backing it up).

Just remember, modding your car is to fit your personal preferences, and if YOU don't care about being hella fast while looking good, then don't listen to anyone else's opinions because only yours is going to matter in the end anyway, and we all know that.

Cars are an extension of ourselves. Mine is still mostly stock right now....it says "I'm broke"
