Alright guys, today is the day. I have officially decided i want to trade out my rear end for a cobalts. I absolutley love the 2 taillights that you have and i want it. I know there are a lot of people out there that like the way the G5s backend looks. I have the lowrise spoiler. It is summit white and i can take pictures on request.

Thanks for looking everyone and remember i am in the GA area. please contact me thru PM or posting in this thread. I am VERY interested

 

hmm, do you wanna trade wheels? assuming you have G5 GT wheels

 

uppity i really want thiss

 

uppity i really want thiss

 

It will not work, your frame is different to mount your tail lights... you would have no way in mounting the other 2 tails.

 

they go down the same assembly line why wouldnt they fit im currently in the process of getting a g5 rear end and i dont see why they wouldnt match up.... bump good luck with your trade if i were white i would drive to you for this

 

Your tails mount to the frame not your bumper. This why u unscrew them from the inside of ur trunk.

 

you trade the bumper and the trunk.. they do line up.... you trade everything.

 

I agree with him. If this were not the case my 4dr would already have this mod cuz I really like the round lights also.

If you manage to make this work I'd love to see pics of the process.

 

the 4 dr g5s and 2dr g5s have differnt trunks and tailights due to the roundness of the body. everything will lign up here becuase we have in esscence the same car. all that needs to be done is traded bumper and trunk. thats all

 

ok so some one with a g5 explain to me how your taillights bolt in and also take a picture with your taillight out

 

I have a Cobalt...not sure if it's the same or not. I'm thinking that if it works for the G5 it would work for the 4dr Balt too. But I don't think it will work period. Someone prove me wrong though cuz I'd love to see this done.

 

guys IT WILL NOT WORK. Ive already been down this road. Your taillights will not mount which casues the bumper to not mount correctly..Unless you are planning some serious frame work its not going to happen.

 

I'm gonna put you in Contact with someone that wants to do the swap.

 

the sedan is dfferent then the coupe....it will work..the body is exactly the same...all the same holes everything...why would gm make two different rear ends???? all they did was change the lights and the bumper and trunk lid...everything underneath is the same.

 

I think someone needs to take some pictures of their G5 without the bumper and tail lights and someone take some pictures of their Balt so we can settle this once and for all. It would suck to trade the parts only to find that they wont match up.

 

did i say sedan no...did the op say sedan no.. this if for a coupe.

 

coupe swap FTW

 

oh sorry haha my bad ...sorry dood.

ill take out my tail lights when it stops raining.. im 100% sure its the same.

 

i'm doing this on a coupe, and i would love the G5 rear end. my car is yellow though...

someone take pictures of where the lights mount on an SS, then you OP, take out your tails and take pics.

 

xxx2

 

your four door cant have this mod bacause the roll of the bumper is different and so is there angel of the trunk there from cobalt coupe to g5 coupe its the same, please someone get this down to prove it can be, and hell if it cant the o well you had a fun day and learned how to take off a bumper but im 100% sure it can

 

Nothing between the coupe and sedan rear is the same.

A Cobalt coupe to G5 coupe rear swap will not work.

I had a friend try it.

 

im trying it anyway

 

No one listens...idiots Just because i have a sedan dosnt mean i know nothing on the coupes
