Cobalt w/Regency package? Wth?

Has anyone ever heard of a Regency package for the cobalts? Lol or did this guy get duped by a dealer? I have a hard time believing GM put on aftermarket springs, body kit, wheels, and by the looks of it face plates for the gauges too. and all for just an additional $5k too

2007 Chevy Cobalt 5-Speed*** MUST SEE!

I believe factory. Back in the day I want to say I saw a few getting on the trucks like that. The 'SS-T' packages or whatever. but I could be wrong. Its been a while.

i remeber the cars, i just never knew if it was done at assembly.

i just assumed it was one of those "GM approved" items in the catalogue.

IIRC, those kits were made pretty well, just UGLY

from what i understand Regency Restyling took 7 brand new Cobalts and made these "Regency Editions" and shipped them out to dealers to be sold, so they are rare to find, but the paint kills this one for me...

But for 5 grand? That seems ridiculous. Why would anyone pay another 25-30% more for this, and not just get the SS/SC?

I will agree, the exhaust doesn't look bad. I've seen other base cobalts with that rear lip and exhaust setup before and thought it didn't look half bad.

More like uncommon, they are only "rare" where there is a demand with no supply. I dont think anyone is demanding these.


Same way it works with SS sedans, we love them on the forum, but whats that like 350 daily active members? The general public doesnt know what the car is, and if your like me and you try to explain it to several guys that drive WRX's, they just nod and go "ya whatever bro, still shitty chevy, have fun with traction"


This car SUCKS!

For the most part. I saw quite a few Cobalts with the Razzi body kit, Rims (Motegi and Enkei), unique pinstripe or side vinyls and painted calipers. Don't think they came with the springs though, painted engine bay/grille and headlights. Exhaust is different too. But yeah, they came from the factory with that stuff.

Here's one from the dealer

It's a G5 but still.

100% agree, however most would argue for insurance purposes.

Car looks terrible with that kit, should decrease the value by 5K IMO.
