At the time mine expired there were some promotional prices but I actually called them up to see if they could do any better. Even the promotional prices seem high when just about everyone has an ipod and of course the FREE radio. I called because I heard that XM was not doing that well, but they did not bite, so I did not renew.

I've been searching the OCC page and the rtp page for people selling the SS lower grille,and I can't find any that are close to here
You think if I go to like a body shop/collision type shop they'd be able to order me a used one or something?
I don't really want to buy one at full price and I like the look of the lower grille in the SS/SC

ask the guys on this forum in the classified section...I'm sure someone has one that they will ship to you. I found mine used and had it shipped.

I let mine expire because they called and offered me to renew at $160 for a year, which, based on my driving habits, was too much to justify. So I held out not thinking about it much, and then a few months later they sent me an offer in the mail for half that price ($80 + tax) so I couldn't resist at that point. Doing the math, it's less than $10 a month so that I can handle.

I do have it.....got it from crateenginedepot.com(CED) and shipped to the UPS store downtown Detroit. The best local price I got from Dane Kane was 475.00 and 61.00 for the tip. Really not a bad deal. In the end I paid 396.00 US from crateenginedepot.com shipped and bought the tip from Dane Kane for 61.00.

If you have to pay taxes bringing back into Canada you might as well just buy it over here.....I did not have to pay luckily (PM me about it)

I never even thought of getting it shipped to the UPS store in Detroit. I'll have to remember that for next time. After I posted my question I called around to see what the dealers around here could do for price. I told them Applewood Chevrolet was selling them for $370, going by what is posted on the OCC. All but one said they would not budge on the list price. Gus Revenburg told me they could not match that price but sold it to me for $473.20 (plus tax) including the tip and it will be here tomorrow (well later today actually). Not bad considering I don't even have to drive five minutes from my house to get it. I bought my last four cars from them, including the SS/SC I have now because it seems like they always try to be fair. I bought a Sunfire GT from them a while back and it turned out to be a lemon. After months on the phone with GM people as high up as I could get, laughing at me, I went in to see Gus himself. The first time I saw him and explained my situation he bought my car back at full price and got me into brand new one. Made me wish I had gone to him first. I did get my stage two installed at Dan Kane, but only because they had experience with the install and I didn't want an improper re-flash or something stupid. Anyway, GMPP performance exhaust install later today! I can't f'n wait.
Nates 2.9 pulley should be here soon too. I wouldn't mind getting a SAFE custom tune done, but I would need to be able to go back to the stage two flash if any warranty issues came up, any ideas? Is a tune even necessary for what I have done? It seems like everyone has an opinion and they are all over the place. I would like to think that opening up the exhaust a little bit will keep the added boost of the 2.9 in check. As in the same as it was with stage two and the stock exhaust (115-120 Kpa). I'm hoping that the performance exhaust will subdue any knock retard that might be present with a 2.9 pulley and the restrictive stock exhaust on a stage two flash.

Actually, it looks like I will be running almost the exact same engine set up as you, except I have a K&N with the airbox mod. I should really pay more attention, LOL. So anyway, it doesn't look like you have any issues on that set up with the stage two tune? Did you get the 2.9 before or after the exhaust?

wow.. if I knew that, I would still be in a Cobalt right now.. probably a brand-new one.. Revenburg SERVICE fucked my car so hard its engine knocked like a diesel.. thats how hard they fucked it..

but its okay.. I fucked them good in return.. every survey i returned noted negative.. and for some weird reason, a specific person in that service dept. no longer works there..

I also had leased my Cobalt through Gus.. I'll never return to buy a car there though.. let alone anywhere in Windsor.. too expensive..

and good buy on the exhaust.. you'll enjoy it..

jrtz80....great buy on the exhaust including tip! You will love the sound. I put my 2.9 on after the exhaust install. For me the stage 2 tune is fine....no difference running stage 2 tune with these bolt on's. You will see quicker boost with the 2.9 through all gears. I did a lot of research and everyone says that 2.9 is ok with stage 2 tune.

Are you going to install the 2.9 and exhaust yourself? Let me know if you need any help!
