DDM Works Backbone for me! Followed closely by OEM Cobalt body colored door handles (hate all the chrome on the Sky)

Talk to me what is the deal with the Cobalt door handles? :lurk:  [Just when I thought I was done.... They pull me back in  :gaah:]

We have the same handles as the Cobalt. You should be able to get black handles to match your car.
I'd rather be driving! :D

i know i know, it's been a year.... but that gt2871r is going on shortly.  I have a bet with a work-mate that it wouldn't be installed and working properly for a month by March 1st so its finally got me up and motivated to wreck my warranty (have to build a website for the friend's shop that's doing the install/tune).  :)

whew.. finally FI......well i'll be able to say that here shortly.

I need to get over to the Beach one of these days for show and tell  :D

You might want to wait a little bit on the intercooler...someone else will be releasing one and you might like it.  No more talking about it...hush hush.

Get part #s, colors and pricing!

The pricing is $68 and $55 list -- Cobalt comes with chrome and primer (same price).  No one knows why the R and L are different prices.  Did discover some of the newer ones will not work on the right side --no key lock opening.  Sooooo  I started cruising junk yards.  Found a 2007 R Front Cobalt coupe door handle (white) at Brandywine, MD -- no lefts.  Still looking for the left driver's side, but decided to paint the white one I have and try it.  Will post photos......

It's 18 now, probably the high and I couldn't get the car out of the garage if I wanted to.  So much snow piled in front of it!!  Hope spring gets here soon!

It's sick looking and it goes with his Jazz body kit.  Norm tells me that it does not sit any lower than the stock bumper, which is what I was concerned about.  I should have mine in 3 weeks time.  It's being made now in black and I think it will look really sick from the front combined with the hood scoop.  It's for the GXP.

Here's two pictures of it:

I also bought the front lip and side skirts from Norm.  I have been working on mine since I got them.  I cut the scoops off and reworked them so they look much closer to the Jazz ones.  I scheduled for my car to go to the paint shop next week to have everything painted.  Hopefully a week from friday, the body will be totally done. I think you'll really like the front spoiler!

What scoops did you cut off?  I am really excited to get it...I think it's gonna look off the hook with my scoop!  You better post pics of yours when it's done.  Now I just need the recessed grills from Aftershock and my exterior will be done.
