it would, but you would have to swap out your tail lights and trunk lid.

Here is the front bumper for the Cobalt

actually, maybe not the trunklid. The cobalt bumper lines up pretty close.

Yes, it will. Look at the RK Sport web site directly. In fact, if you make the order through RK Sport and mention you found them on this web site and that you are looking for a deal, they will usually take at least 10% off the list price.

The G5 body kit is a direct bolt on. You DO NOT NEED TO CHANGE BUMPER OR LIGHTS.

It doesnt come with a rear fascia, its just a lower skirt.

No, the 4 doors use unique rear fascias.

The key thing here is that the RKSport kit doesnt come with a rear fascia, it comes with a rear skirt. This piece will fit on a G5 OR a Cobalt.

anything will fit with enough duct tape and glue.







seriously, though, it's not the right one for your car. So, unless you plan on getting it custom molded I'm gonna go with No. If you can get it to go on it will probably look out of place.

Okay, seriously. LAST time. If youve got a 2.2L Cobalt, The RKSport kit WILL FIT. It will not look out of place, youll look just like the G5 in the pics except youll have Cobalt taillights. The RKSport kit DOES NOT change the rear fascia/bumper. Its just a stick on lower skirt.

No. Oh man, okay people. Please read slowly and carefully.

RK Sport offers a 4 piece lip kit. I have it on my car. Please enjoy these pictures.

My current set up using an SS front facia:


My previous set up using an LS facia:


Here is the rear shot:


This kit is still offered by RK Sport on their web site for the list price of $595.95 Click here:
RK Sport Cobalt lip kit

Now, the kit discussed in this thread is completely identical except for two things. First, it has a complete front facia instead of a lip. And second, the style of the three remaining lip pieces is a little different. It lists for $795.95. Click here:
RK Sport G5 Ground Effects kit

The kits are COMPLETELY interchangable between the Cobalt and G5. And as mentioned, if you call them directly and mention you found them on this web site, you can and usually will get a deal. If you navigate the site a bit, I'm sure you will also find the Cobalt full front facia they make too.

My I recommend that if you don't know what you are talking about, please don't pretend to.

Any more questions?

So to answer his question completely.. you get a front bumper and a 3 piece lip kit.

I apologize for my comment earlier then as I thought it was a whole rear end as well...
