It feels like it's taking them forever lol. I know their always good with following through on something if there is interest though so you've got a point. I just want it now!! haha

well i'll see what i can present to them and what they say. i think we're stil going to look at bumper designs and such but can definately look into spoiler ideas and maybe some some lip kit ideas. does anyone know how far along ED is with theirs? don't want to copy what they're doing so maybe i had the company i'm working with do some different designs, i'm sure variety never hurts

If they could make a rear lip The was a direct fit for the SS that looked like padlock's photoshop with a little less lip..The middle exit exhaust is a great idea, but i want more suddle lines in the back not that huge lip

look up the grand am sc/t! looks just like a regular grand am gt, which is IMO a really cool designed car, but the gt-sc (model that never went into production) had stock bumpers with extra lips that made it look so cool. probably bolt/stick on lips.

like everyone else the body kits for sale are garbage i think if they made one with a real rear diffuser and a front bumper that is like the stock ss with a lil more edge on it and some different skirts it would look sick as ****

Currently uploading a vid of a Cobalt SS with a kit that was from Need for Speed: Most Wanted. I'll post it up when it's done uploading from my phone (so vid might be crappy). I'll try to find pics if I can.

Edit: Here is the video. I put the flames on just for fun, and IMO, doesn't look too bad. Spoiler was just for fun anyway, changed it back to a low rise one after I made the video. Again, this is a body kit I wouldn't mind for myself personally.
