Nice observations, Iroc. I can see the light-shaving idea catching on, too. Good stuff Shamrock!
Everyones' comments are really helping the process. I'll get back to the drawing board tomorrow based on your views. Looks like we're leaning toward a Cobalternative or Turbolt front w/ larger center inlet and a Tropicobalt rear. Be as critical as you want. Thanks.

I`m still worried there will be no location to mount my stock fog lights.
also, What do you invision in the openings? Is it simple mesh? Plastic,factory style filler pieces?
remember to take into concideration what will be mounted on the car in areas you have larger holes.
I personally don`t want to be able to see in behind at all the rads,airfilter box,wiring for the fogs should they not get used do to the style of the bumper.
The designs are all AWSOME. I`m just saying, think outside the box at what might be behind where you put a hole. Or the material used/needed to fill that hole.

Tropicobalt is my favorite. However, the Turbobalt's hood screams WRX to me and I would try to stay away from any associations with that car. The Cobalternative is also a nice design because it's clean. I think perhaps you should stick with such clean designs like the Cobalternative, Freshsqueeze, Corvaltte and Tropicobalt because they all seem to have the fewest unnecessessary air scoops, etc.
The less busy a design is, the less boy-racer it is and I think that has always been one of the Cobalt's strengths was to look fast and CLEAN without ricer crap hanging all over it. As such, keep 'em wingless or maybe opt for the smaller spoiler as opposed to the SS's massive wing.
I think understatement is key...keep 'em more Chip Foose (dimunitive) and less Boyd Coddington (bulbous)
Overall, I'd donate my Cobalt for research in a SECOND!

Simply amazing! I never liked the factory look of the Cobalt myself. The renderings are amazing. What did you do them in?
Back to the topic, I like the Turbolt and Tropicobalt with a few close behind. Not digging the Corvaltte at all though.

Personally, I like them all, They are clean, They don't look gaudy, like 98% of peoples cars with kits look. They flow with the lines of the car, not to wide and all. I would never buy a kit befor cause they all look goofy or not meant for the cars they are on, but if you guys mades any of these kits I would buy one.

I think I speak for everyone as we are curious if your planning on making just one kit or more? Also if its more than one kit is there the possibility of selling the parts individually for mix and match? Any target price range? (nothing to hold you to as your still in concept phase)
And as far as the Sedans go, I'm not sure whats different from the coupes but selling parts individually might help sedan owners as they could just buy, say, different rockers and then get the same front and rear - all depending on whats really different from the coupes.

If your company is serious about it and does an excellent job with the fit and finish, you guys should just do them all. They will all sell well. All of them are fairly tastefull but radical at the same time. Very cool.
Turbolt = #1
Just needs to have "SS/SC" or "2.0 Supercharged" instead of "Turbo" badges.
The spoiler is the best part, looks awesome.

#1 shows molded plastic mesh, loaded from the front. The fascia has molded-in attachments.
#2 shows shows plastic mesh, loaded from the rear. The mesh has molded-in attachments.
#3 shows universal mesh for the owner to cut out. The "light carrier" is designed to mount flush with the mesh and hide the crude edge of the cutout.
I used Cobalternative just for example:
Hopefully I explained that clearly enough. Thanks.
I'm not a body kit guy, and I don't have time to be posting this so I wont go one by one, but HOLY F*CK that is some good work! There are several of those that I would consider putting on my car.
Scheme 1 is definitly seems like a much higher quality kit, but I'd a the price would match up too.
but access to the Fogs from the front is a huge benifit when you have to change the bulbs

No question #1 is the way to go. Looks much cleaner and way more detailed and professional than the other 2.
But #2 is also an option
#3, no way. Would really bring the look of your style and quality down.
My only change. Mount the fogs on the bottom outside edges of the holes. Its closer to the stock location. (i know there isn`t any extra length of wire on the stock fog light wiring harness to make the stretch to the center like your rendition)
However, Having those molded plastic pieces would make it look like it came from the factory w/ that style bumper. And that is my favorite style tuner. One that looks like the factory may have built.
