Haha, understandable. It's just my opinion. Im not real big on bodykids on the SS. It's already different from regular Cobalts. But everyone has differnet taste, and I myself hate flat paint. To me it makes the car look boring.

ok.....im going just go to be flat out honest so please dont take it as im trying to be an *******. you are replcing the front bumper from being to low correct? your going to scrape even more with a body kit. another question..... have you ever taken care of a flat or matte or even a satin finish car? if not your in for a rude awakening lol. but if you must......either body kit is fine because they all fit like crap and will need modification to fit. some more then others. please dont take this as me being an ass im just trying to be flat out honest

if you go pearl white you better find a good painter that knows how to spray a 3 stage.

That is the ONLY body kit that looks decent on Cobalts...most of the others are too...bulky and angly to go with the balt's lines.

Sadly this site is the last site you should mention Body kit. It just becomes a flame thread most of the time.

Either way. Duraflex is your best bet.

As for fitment... you may get lucky and have no issues at all. I have had a kit that required some work and I had a kit for my cavalier that required no work.

I actually had the BC2 kit last year. I got it used of some guy and it required some fitment cause he hit a rock and sold it to me with a repaird sideskirt 1.5 inches to short.

Thats gone now and Im putting the Gravan Wide body kit on.

Have fun with the kit. remember its your car not these guys.

Fiberglass should be the last option!

Quality fiberglass won't crack very easily. i had a real C-west kit on my old 240sx and the front end held up to a crash that totalled the car.
