My company is currently developing a full urethane Cobalt SS/coupe bodykit. I am seeking your input on the following design proposals. Keep in mind the following:

- each kit will include front fascia, rear fascia, and 2 rocker panels
- kits are slated for release by May 2006 or earlier
- final design direction is heavily dependant on your input
- feel free to mix & match parts from each view
- further revisions will be posted based on latest discussions
- spoilers, hoods, and wide-body kits will be considered if interest is shown
- the names are just for fun

GRIP is not yet a supporting vendor. We should be signed up by the time we ramp up for the kits. This is for research only. Thanks for the help everyone!

WOW I love the CobaltErnative. I think the back of the car looks like a ferrari!

Those rims are hot too

Tropicobalt looks good
Turbolt looks good
Fresh Squized look good

I found it hard to decide which single one was the best and it has to be said PLEASE!!! make the RallyeGrip, which the high double scoop style hood.

anyways this is how I got to my decision

Hood
2Fresh Squeezed
3Tropicobalt

Front
1Turbolt
2Fresh Squeezed
3Scoopadriver

Side
1Fresh Squeezed
2Turbolt
3Scoopadriver

Rear
1Turbolt
2Scoopadriver
3Cobalternative

overall I like the Turbolt with the hood of the Fresh Squeezed, and that lip over the rear window of the Cobalternative.

but please the last one I have an SS and if I change the body it's gotta go wider and really make a differance. (widening the quarter panels so the doors look set in). it looks awesome. do you mind if I use it in my Sig?

Cobalternative is my first choice but all the designs are sick id be willing to bet all of them would sell

detrini

Turbolt is my top choice, and I will gladly wait until may to see if it or something similar is in the works.

The 27th element

WOW! I am speachless.
My top 3 choices are the:
1: Cobalternative
2: Tropicobalt
3: Turbolt

My favorite hood is the one on the Hard-core-balt.

Two of my own ideas. Make provisions for fog lights in any front bumper for us SS/SC guys. Also think about the option of a dual exhuast rear bumper.

Next spring is a perfect time for release. Just in time for the 2006 show season

Again. These renderings are absolutely stunning.

Tropicobalt - That's hot

simply amazing concepts

SS-=MKR=-SS

beautiful!!

Cobalternative #1 choice overall............................speechless.

Put Tropicobalts hood on that and make way for duel exhaust and HOLY S**T!!!!!!!

I don't even know what to say...................................Never considered buying a kit but if I could get that setup I would put myself on the end of your hook and let you reel me in!!!

I chose Tropicobalt. Overall, all of them are amazing. I would definantly put any of these on my Cobalt (if I get one...). Any idea if these kits will come in a Sedan Version?

How much would a kit like the RallyeGrip run me if you made it custom, and not production? (roughly)+ Shipping to Toronto, Ontario, Canada

P.M. me if like

player_1

the top opening looks a little to much mustang to me though

ecoteched

I gave another vote to cobalternative

SS-=MKR=-SS

Amazing would be Turbolt Hood, Tropicobalt front end, Cobalternitive rear!!

Scizzik

After looking at them all more closely still goin Cobalternative but put the Tropicobalt hood on it and possibly make the spoiler come up about an inch and put in another hole for dual exaust

CleanNFun

Congrats on your hard work ... They look simply amazing.. All of them!!! Might actually make me WANT to buy a body kit

Please make some for the sedan fans :P

very sweet renderings, nice work

i stuck my vote in for the cobalternative, i love its front end w/ the side skirts, but i like the tropicobalts rear end alot better.

GRIP_Designer

Much appreciated! If anyone would like to discuss further design changes, my Yahoo messenger handle is 'interpolactic'.

Keep the votes comin' and thanks!

JonyyB

You hit the nail

Please give us any of them :thum:

I vote:

1 Tropicobalt
2 Turbolt
3 Fresh Squeezed


One thing that you may want to work on a little more is the side skirts. I really don’t like the huge holes in them .

madmike8

Hmm... like I like the Cobalternative nose and the Tropicobalt's hood and rear spoiler... there's something about the Corvaltte's rear that i like... not a big fan of scoops in rockers... so guess i like the Corvaltte's there too... (BTW the rocker scoop is missing from the Cobalternative's nose shot, and probably why i voted for it...)

Shamrock

I liked in this order:

Turbolt
Cobalternative
Corvallte

I dont like:
Scoopadriver (looks like a mustang frontend)
Freshsqueezed (again, mustang-ish)
Hardcorebalt (looks like a Honda Civic, EEEWW!!!!)
In other words, they arent "unique enough"

The Turbolt is my favorite though, it's looks hardnosed, and aggressive, yet still has flow and styling. Almost like it's snarling it's nose ready to do battle.

And yes, PLEASE make some sedans!
