i can haz puppy??

ok back on topic- I do like to koni style, but also the idea of an all in one front cover with the lip attached to it. Perhaps doing something similar for the rear so us 2.4 kids can have the rear cover of the ss/sc/tc?

Something to look into, would be a dual exit rear lip..eithor take the stock lip and make it a dual exit, or something i always wanted was the RK sports rear lip, but that requires molding to get it to fit the SS bumper, so make one that is a direct fit for the SS

1st and 3rd look great! i like the second one too but i'm more biased toward a simple "race oriented" look lol. 3 is basically what i was talking about in my post and picture with the m3

Hmm. I kinda like the middle one.

The first one looks too similar to stock and the third just isn't to my taste.

it wasn't made to be sold to the cobalt public. it was on the TA car. there was one or two extras that were sold. the rest were made when ordered, for a lot.

Thanks for all the feedback, so far its tied for #1 & #2. Lets keep this rolling, if you could add, change, improve on the existing ideas, what would they be?

This lip will be produced in polyurethane which is isn't going to crack when you hit a curb and you won't have any fitment issues like you would with the cf version.

I like both #1 and #2. Maybe #1 just a bit more. What I would like to see is open slots or something in the lip, something similar to what our lips have stock. I like the way our lip slots (idk if thats what they are called but whatever) line up with the intercooler opening.
