I'll try to get photos up later, but it seems that the crash / reinforcement bar and the energy absorbing foam thats in tyhe nose of the Cobalt had a coupe varieties. Mine was tweaked and the one I got to replace it "06 Coupe Nose Bar" was totally different. They bolt on, but the brackets and reliefs are different so the foam won't fit.

Any one else notice this?

 

i have not taken a look at this. is it possible that it varies from one year to the next

 

it would be most likely
