What holes are you talking about? on the lip or the bumper? Oh and I also have a white 2.4 and I must say it looks purdy . I'm debating if I should get the lip first or header, but seeing your car makes me want the lip oh well, I'll figure it out within the next month or so.

Possibly look at my post, but she could have got it somewhere else.

On the 2.4L bumper, I don't think they have the little hole tabs sticking out to attach the lower 2.0L grille.

take that bottom grille out (pops right out) to get the full ss s/c look...i did that and it looks sooo much better...that bottom grille doesnt match the top like the cobalt does and imo it looks dumb



blurry pic but u get the idea...now i just gotta get the lip

yo CRAZY props to you for a SWEET MOTHA-EFFIN RIDE!!!

Well when you removed the lower grille your opening your radiator or intercooler to rocks and whatever else, that's why I decided to leave mine in. And try not to quote pics, waste of space, just say "@ Viper33884 - blah blah...." or whatever.

Much better... And I have seen pics of rocks and **** flying up and hitting the radiator. And I think a mesh grille would look good.

Are you talking about the ends of the lip were it attaches in the fender well? Does the middle of the lip sit pretty snug on the bumper? Wondering how secure it will be using your method.

If you look on the fender wells for the cowling you see some tabs, my cars red so they will be red tabs from the bumper, she means there are red tabs just like that on the lower bumper to attach the lower grille, and our 2.4L bumpers don't have these so you can drill both of them and just use standard 1/4-20 bolts and some fender washers and it will be just find if not better and you will never see the bolts. I will try and get a pic of my front neon where I mounted it, give you a good idea where she is talking about.
