Hey guys, I am going to be moving out there at the end of April, I was just wondering if any of you guys are close to the Drumheller Area? Might be cool to meet up with some of you guys when I get out there. Because the cobalt is coming across the country

What a saga this has been to get clips for my front and rear lip... gmpartsdirect.ca ended up being more than from a dealership. Gmpartsdirect.com is the route I had to go, but they don't ship to Canada so I have to use my bongous mail forwarding account to have it shipped to Connecticut and then to me. Nor will they accept a Canadian Visa, so I now have to go send a money order to North Carolina. Oh joy.

Dude, get it shipped to Montana. I'm making a trip down there next week anyways. Wouldn't that be cheaper than a double shipping service? It's $5.

At the Border Storage offers courier and postal parcel receiving. Have your parcels sent to our storage facility and we will receive and safely store them for you.

I'll look into the Intake thanks soundjunky, and Bluecobalt I was here 2 months ago, I wish I would have caught it though hahaha.

The only hassle is paying for it which, as a Canadian, requires me sending a money order regardless of where the item will be shipped.

Did you try emailing Tom at www.crateenginedepot.com ? He has stuff that is not on his website, he may have them.

I didn't, but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have this part. I actually got a hold of one from Davis, and it's a pretty specific, funky looking clip. Glad I didn't try to ghetto rig something.

Worth a shot man, an E-mail is free . He has lower grill clips and stuff.

Also I looked up that 50K 2.4SS haha, no way that's right. There is also a $15,500 09LS with 40,000k.

Good luck with those.

umm, you do realize that CED is a dealership parts department right??

Phone them up, give the part number, and just order from them.

GMPD.com = FTMFL

What's everyone up to today? I'm finally fixing my windshield washer nozzle (Gotta find a place to get one, Dealer is open mon-fri and opens after I work and closes before I'm done haha). Getting those wipers off was ridiculous haha. Also putting in a new roll pin and pulling off all my interior trim to paint it.

How is your guys dash/door handle paint holding up? Mine is awful, so I picked up some paint that seems extremely close to the stock satin nickel. Hopefully it is a bit more durable.

This car is going to be like a brand new one by the time is back running again .

I have been told that is known for not holding up too well.

Apparently Jrmotorsports has found a vinyl that is a near perfect match, which he has used to wrap these parts... iirc
