SEMA: Chevrolet Cobalt Open Air
 

<img src="https://www.cobaltss.net/articles/sema4.jpg" align="left" border="0" hspace="5" vspace="5">Open Air is the answer. It features a Webasto five-panel, electronically operated glass roof that opens up to reveal an interior with unique fabrics, leather-wrapped instrument panel upper, door trim uppers and steering wheel, as well as body-colored bezels and instrument panel trim.
The exterior also receives star treatment, including a special Gold Rush two-stage exterior paint that was developed specifically for GM Color Studios. Other Cobalt SS Coupe Open Air exterior elements include GMSPO 18-inch, polished aluminum wheels, carbon fiber front and rear fascia extensions, rocker extensions, rear wing and outside rearview mirror caps. A detailed engine compartment, Wilwood brake rotors and caliper and a GMSPO catback exhaust system with bright outlets complete the Cobalt SS Coupe Open Air picture.

Will GM be selling these carbon fiber parts? If so that would be awesome :)

For some reason I think so, because in the Eco-Tec build book, they all have part numbers for a carbon fiber roof, front splitter, trunk, spoiler, i forgot what else.

Yeah, they're all for sale by Roush Racing.

lol. No you fool it's Crawford Composites

WOW! They said that stage one is gona be 241 and 200lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG I hope those are underrated.

I really want the front lip on it.. o and the sunroof.. also the paint..ummmm.. that's about it

ok something is confusing me...stage one at 241? im thinking a missprint?

maybe it pose to be 271 i mean the 4 and the 7 are pretty close the what they have it setup on the keyboard. :rolleyes:

haha i hope not, ill take 241 hp:)

i love the look of this car....its great :-D

I hope this means GM will be offering springs!!

I saw that too, probably a typo.

Oh yeah! The Front and Rear Clips, And Dashboards are by Roush.

HOTNESS is that car!

GMSPO cat back eh? i saw this in another thread saying this piece was already available...

that looks/sounds so sweet...

I thought I read where Stage 2 was 241hp and stage 1 was 236hp. I'm going to assume that these are at the wheels. I hope to god they are lol. Anyways I heard that GM will be coming out withlowering springs for the car. They already have them out for the Ion Redlines cause I saw them be displayed at NOPI.

Will the Cobalt get those blacked out headlights?

are these and all the SEMA pictured cobalts going to be new trim levels or accesories you can buy? i dont fully understand all those concept pics lol

I want the Roof. I want, I want, I want,

the three stage on the G6 is Sexy, but a 5 Stage would open up the entire roof, I bet it looks amazing

Liking the 5 panel glass roof idea ( would like to do that with mine :). Makes me kinda wish I had waited to buy the SS till this concept comes out :(

The open air thing, i bet it will never happen.
I like the colour though.

I am just taking a guess but if you look on the roof, where ther two rain tracks are probably screws. I am willing to say the center section, comes out how else would you put in a carbon fiber roof with out having to do a complete teardown, of the A-pillars. Just a guess

The 5 panel glass roof would be sweet. However, a rag top convertible would be even better :)
