So I was driving home the other night and it was pouring down rain locked up my breaks hit a deer and my radiator/zzp s3 intercooler/ and ac condsor andd all got bent in half.. its sad but anyways i'm just going to replace the parts with a body kit...Idk which to get or the best place to get from..Any suggestions? Thanks.

 

uhhh good luck not many good looking bodykits out there check extremedimensions or andysautosport

 

ya i know Lol and to boot there is a car around here with one of the few decent looking ones and the same color as me so thats one less i can get lol. i'm thinkin about this but so far i've only found it on ebay

and ebay is sketchy to me lol but thanks

 

DO NOT BUY A KIT.

Put your flame suit on. You will need it. Because honestly, no kit looks good on a Cobalt, other then the SS kit. And don't buy anything from ebay. It will not fit right. It will take more fabrication then it's worth.

 

ya i agree. buy i found 1 legit one.. swear lol. But i know a guy whos put one on a cobalt and rx8 before and they weren't a walk in the park and they came out real good. But the main reason is since i'm 18 i have to go through my pops for insurance and thats still over a 100 so i have a 1000 deductable..so i have to go cheap.

 

here is the website and one i'm considering. VIS Racing TSC 3 Body Kit - Full Kit for 05-up Chevrolet Cobalt at Andy's Auto Sport

 

But look as this. It'll be over 500$ aftedr shipping, few hundred to paint and fabricate it soit looks right. So already around 800$.

What do you actually need? Both bumpers or just the front?

 

EVERYONE IS WRONG. the GM ground effects looks THEE BEST in my opinion. It's on here for sale from GM BUT cheaper on ebay (500 to 650) and i think it looks sick. my two cents. its a lip kit. Ground Effects Package - Coupe and/or Sedan, Black (41U) - GM

 

just the front, i'd figure i'd do a whole kit idk what to do thats why i'm askin everyone for their opinon ha lol but i know a guy who got jus a bumper and halos and an invader hood and it looks amazing i think. But his is a different bumper.

 

Sure if you have an LS or a LT. But not on an SS. So you are wrong.


I would just look into getting a front bumper if thats all you need. I'm just thinking, if you don't have 1000$, I doubt 800-900$ would be alot easier on you. That's just my way of thinking.

 

errrrri believe i said in my opinion, and the everyone is wrong thing wasnt to be taken to haert hahahaha.

 

But it doesnt apply to this thread. He needs a whole new bumper. So I doubt he'd put a base model bumper with a 700$ lip kit on an SS

 

ya i'm not a ls or lt bumper kinda guy lol. i just thought if i'd do anything body kit/bumper wise this would be the time to do it...i'll prolly just get a quote after i get my check from the insurance company... I think i could get it done for real cheap but if i were to say get one i was thinkin about that VIS one but its fiberglass..but i found a duraflex one i like thats fiberglass but looks pretty strong idk. Maybe i'll go back to normal... I will have to think and see what everyone else thinks.

 

....okay it was just a suggestion man chill, just trying to help haha. dont be a dick or turn this into a flame thread because you dont like my suggestion haha. relax. some people like to hear many ideas, i gave my idea., soooo SORRY. haha wow. your totally right man, sorry your always right i forget, ONLY your idea is legetimate. JMO i hope everythings gets fixed on your car man hitting deer sucks.

 

nonono, if you are goin to buy a body kit. Buy 05-up Chevrolet Cobalt Body Kits from Grip Tuning at Andy's Auto Sport

Its kinda a murcielago style but smaller for the cobalt. I love it

 

ehh that ones not bad actually...but ill stick with my ss stock one

 

Its one of the better ones. But not as nice as the SS.

Stock SS bumper with TC grilles look best. If you want to look different, get a billet grille.

 

completely disagree.....my kit came fome ebay and fit like a glove....the only modification required was another exhaust cutout to account for the dual exhaust and there was a SLIGHT rub from the front tire on turns that had to be cut back....

OP it all comes down to your style....if you like body kits then get one....just realize its not going to be a cheap process if you want it to look right...personally i think the SS kit is boring but thats just my $.02 and if you have an SS, unless youre trying to build a sleeper, dont put a base model bumper on there...take it from a base model guy....they're horrible looking...lol..

 

Plz be open... There's plenty of good looking kits out there even if its not lokoing good for you.

Be open to opinions jsut stop with your stock ss kit we heard enough we know you like it

 

So you know, we offer discounted pricing on all of our kits/parts to CobaltSS members. If there's something we offer that you're interested in, let me know and I can get you a price.

 

while i normally hate body kits, that yellow one's not bad.

but the Zen kit looks awsome, it requires fitting but once you work it it looks flush and awsome, dont be so quick to """" body kits.

 

The New front bumper from RKSport for the Cobalt/G5 ain't bad either.

 

if ur talkin about the one on everythingcobalt.com idk if there is as different rksport one but i tlooks good but it says won't fit the ss models or the sport ones and idk why it would say that since it hought they all fit to everything. idk

 

It's not that I'm not open, there are 2 kits that look good, but because I read the OP, and because the 1000$ deductable is to much, the best route is just find a SS bumper. A body kit after paint and fab thats needed, will be around 1000$

 

Wow, I normally hate body kits, but that grip one is pretty sweet. It's understated. If I run into anything, that's the bumper I'm gonna get, lol.
