Yup. Also came first on the 96 grand sport. They look great on that body style.

Same here. I saw two Cobalts and a Civic around here in OK with them. I'll be pulling mine off here shortly once I get it back into my garage.

Can we also declare ram air hood scoops, specifically the double scoops dead on everything except firebirds? I'm tired of seeing trucks, mustangs, civics etc with the damn double sided taped on dual hood scoops.

That's old news brother. There's like 4 cobalts in my town with them. And they've all had them on for 2+ years

Ive seen them on a new Dark blue Challenger. The stripes were matte black. Not very noticeable. Doesn't look bad imho. I wouldnt put it on mine car though.

Its hard to have anything cool and not have the rest of the world try to generically copy it . Im sick of seeing SS hoods on everything under the sun

Ive always thought the GS hash marks were dumb looking on anything other than a real 96 grand sport and only if it had red interior . That complete package looked badass .

Did I count 5 wings on that cavalier? Or was it just the hypnotic pin striping making me see multiples?
