What shall we do next for the Cobalt?
I would be interested in a rear diffuser that actually works and isn't overly expensive. I've thought about taking a stab at a rear diffuser because there is so much exposed back there its just a pocket for turbulent air. Just no time to do it
Sorry Matt (Padlock) but I don't think that looks that great. I'd have to see it on a bumper with intercooler/heat exchanger opening down there before I could make a final judgement, but without the rest of the lips/side skirts I don't think this would look that good.

i know the air pocket you speak of... just to clean that up and move the straightened out air would do wonders for these cars
big molds... not a small diffuser
and thats the point. some people can get it for looks, others can get it for performance, others can get it for gas milage

They're not going to put in the amount of research necessary to get any performance or mileage gains out of this, so if you're in it for anything other than looks, look elsewhere.

Something I would definately buy, a triple gauge pod for those who have an aftermaket stereo. It looks like there is enough space to fit a triple pod right underneath the stereo, even if the piece with the airbag light has to be taken off

ED only does exterior parts. I think a rear diffuser like the g5 one from RK sport that fit the ss models without trimming would be hot in polyurethane

I say full bumper and lip in CF but not exactly OEM. I used to think an OEM lip in CF would be good but then why not just do a wrap in CF over a stock piece then? I think you have to be slightly different. If you look hard enough you realize the SS lip is an add-on piece. For guys with TCs and aftermarket intercoolers the stock SS lower grill opening could stand to be a little bigger as it blocks the bottom portion of the IC. Something like this...
The OEM lower grill opening is shown in the bottom of the pic for comparison. Now make the lip go full width to the wheel opening and give it a bit more extension past the bumper in front (like an inch) and it would still look OEM-ish but more aggressive and all the guys who do the Evo paint mod (which is a lot) would want.
I also think that a proper wide body kit is overdue for the Cobalt. Front fenders in CF and a cladding for the rears ala S13 style would be relevant. Something like this...
or this... (but with a continuous full width side skirt)

I kind of like that Cobalt widebody, but there really isn't a market for us to make a widebody and make the price attractive enough for the Cobalt driver. Plus most of the people here are all about tracking rather then showing. From what I can see atleast. Still a good idea!
ChargedUp, I like those products and in my opinion window visors and a roof wing are long over due for the Cobalt!

I normally don't care of exterior pieces, but if this is properly made and supported, and the holes are easy for duct attachment, I'd have to get one.
The sunroof delete would be a nice piece too.
