No, I can't take the 30 minutes that it takes to render and pull up each and every page till i found the answer, or use the search feature which just brings up everybodys signatures instead of the text in the actual posts....so, No, I can not, can you give me a straight answer or just be a dick!

It's far from being a direct fit, but it will fit. In my post a few up on this page, there are a couple of pictures of mine which I had molded to a stock SS/TC sedan rear bumper. I have a 2009 SS/TC Sedan. The bumper has to be modified to fit the lip, the lip itself has to be shortened to fit the sedan bumper. If you want to attach it in the same manner as on the SS Coupe, you will have to cut slots in the bumper to accept the tabs from the lip. You'll need clips and possibly other assorted hardware to fasten.

I wanted the lip molded to the bumper, so the overall cost a lot more than just clipping the lip on. I really like the way it came out.

i didnt say look though every page. theres a picture on this page of a sedan with the lip. And maybe you should look through the thread, usually people do a little bit of research before you spend about $400 bucks on their car.

I did get it redone, and it looks a lot better now.

looks good, definately better than the friction fit. Mine is starting to pop out a couple mm around the two corners. But, ill worry about that in the summer.

hey guys, I have been wanting to do this for so long...I have an 05 cobalt sedan LS and I REALLY REALLY want the SS rear lip on there....I saw that people had to do some plastic welding to make the SS rear lip fit...is that the case for me and my 05 Sedan???

You would probably have to follow a similar approach to jschatte, however, since you do have a sedan like me, the lip would have to be shortened around 3/4" per side.

Just and FYI for anyone that hasn't seen pics in a while, what the coupe lip looks like when installed on a SS sedan.

Seems to a bit of tension on the edge near the exhaust opening. I'm going to have to put a heat gun to it and remove the tension to pull that edge up. I've seen this on some SS coupes too.

Did a little work to straighten out the rear lip, as it had a noticeable twist near the exhaust opening in the last pic I posted.

Now it looks straight.

Another updated pic of the coupe lip on a sedan, actually, the lip didn't change, but the ride height sure did.

Hey Chris,

do you remember the part number for the rear lower fascia? I was looking but cannot find a pn for just the rear lip. Car looks great, wish GM would have made the sedan with the same look as the coupe.
