Any modifications needed?well for roof caps you need a hex screwdriver, for the side skirts u need to drill them into the body, we tried many things but that is the best. i use mostly factory screws and ran off no instructions. the sideskirts i used the screws that they provide. other than that it is easy.

Looks pretty good.Out of curiosity, what are you going to do with the two-tone cladding? I'm guessing have it painted to match the kit and the car (yes, I realize the kit isn't staying blue)?

Ponyota · Post by **Ponyota** » Tue May 24, 2005 8:19 am

Looks really really really really gooooooooooood! I wouldn't wait to long to have them painted unless you want to have scratches and nicks fixed first. How was the fit? Everything line up alright?

rcasciola · Post by **rcasciola** » Tue May 24, 2005 8:28 am

everything lined up perfectly...as for the size of the images i have no idea how to resize em im new to this mac ordeal! but im painting it pretty soon. i finished my finals so no where to go now!

Psychobroker · Post by **Psychobroker** » Tue May 24, 2005 8:41 am

Looks GREAT...how hard were the caps to remove? When you say you had to drill into the body for the skirts, did you just pick wherever you wanted to drill? I might actually order the skirts if they won't be too low...

rcasciola · Post by **rcasciola** » Tue May 24, 2005 8:44 am

for the holes i used one in the middle of the passager or drivers door, then where the doors meet, and then in the rear middle, the last one was in the back, they are very sturrdy

damronjr · Post by **damronjr** » Tue May 24, 2005 10:01 am

Looks good! Did yours have any cracks or chunks broke off?

rcasciola · Post by **rcasciola** » Tue May 24, 2005 10:26 am

yea there were 2 cracks in the bumper not major though i will most likely bondo them, there was a biggerone on the sideskirt but it wasnt showing and was pointless so its all good. overall excellent quality and i get looks everywhere...and i have a 3 tone haha!

damronjr · Post by **damronjr** » Tue May 24, 2005 10:57 am

These are the marks I was thinking of when I asked you about yours. Other than these, everything is AWESOME! I can't wait to put them all on. I think I will probably wait until I can get them painted though. I don't want to mess them up as it might be a while before I can take it in. Glad to hear there are not fitment issues though, so hopefully my hook-up can get them painted for a good price and I won't have to do the whole car. Also depends on $$$, so we'll see.PS Sorry about the size! That is why I only posted these 3 and also rcasciola already posted pics of everything but the fenders and psychovibe already posted pics of those!

Quote, originally posted by Psychovibe Â»Right now keep in mind that it is still too early to worry about running out and getting things. We are looking into how exactly to handle the grill. Ours is factory. However the bumper will be fiberglass and cannot use the factory style mounts for the factory grill. Please be patient and we will figure out what direction will look good as none of us wants anything that looks bad.Sorry for not getting all the bases covered but I built the entire car in 10 weeks by myself without the use of power tools. We are planning to use mesh pieces for the grill to match all the front holes and will have these available when the bumpers are ready.You should not need to buy any parts from GM. This will be a complete replacement for all the parts.Just wanted to ask about this again. For those of us who have 03/04 and got the kit, how do we go about filling the grills? Do we need to buy a '05 GM grill or buy mesh or something to fill it in with?Also, after looking at the pics of the psychovibe and the pics of rcasciola's Vibe, I noticed that the Aerogear roof caps don't seem to line up like they did on Chris' Vibe and he also looks to have had a rubber seal at the bottom edge of the cap. Was this supposed to be incorporated into these caps and was the fit supposed to be like this? Just curious. Here's a pic of Chris' psychovibe caps before production:

i too lookes at that and was wondering (removed)? there are no instructions so i just tried my best. as for the grill u have to buy em. i went to a local dealership and they wanted 54 a piece...anyone kno the price at gmparts direct?

Maybe he'll come on and clarify, otherwise someone will have to call him and see. As for the caps, I think we will just have to wait and see what he says about that.

On gmpartsdirect? How much were they? I think one of us may have to call him to get an answer about this. I don't know how often he checks this.

Maybe you could incorporate these into it. They look to be made pretty much like the Mr Grill ones. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...=WDVW $125.00 US + $9.00 US shipped on any amount you order. Here's a picture of them.

Been watching those for a while now, just don't have the $$$ for them right now. Also, you still have to have the stock grills to mount them to, but my bro-in-law and I were already thinking of ways to use those without the stock grills. Thanks for ruining my big surprise and giving everyone else my idea!!!

Hey rcasciola how did you take your stock side skirts of? I ordered the body kit to and it soon be here soon. If you could let me know how you took them off id appreciate it thanks.

rcasciola · Post by **rcasciola** » Fri May 27, 2005 4:45 am

there are little plugs under the car..u take those off and there is one screw on the front...then just rip off they are held on by clips..those white things

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Mon May 30, 2005 11:41 am

Hopefully some people in Michigan get the kits so I can see what the lookk like as they pass by on the roads.

Doesn't really matter as I couldn't have afforded to have it painted until after the 15th anyways. He plans to do some fiberglass work and some reinforcement work as well as some "custom" paint. As long as it gets done right I'm happy!

rcasciola · Post by **rcasciola** » Tue May 31, 2005 4:04 am

yea i ended up getting all my craps and chips that came from shipping im guessing filled. its a pretty good price, as long as it looks good and done right...it is definately worth the wait...

oolunchbox · Post by **oolunchbox** » Tue May 31, 2005 9:02 am

I just ordered my kit. I'm curious as to how long it took to get? I'm near chicago so i know those of you in CA will have had a shorter time due to distance and such, I'm just looking for a roundabout idea.

rcasciola · Post by **rcasciola** » Tue May 31, 2005 9:30 am

hahah yea where dd those go? anyways back to the other quetion about time...psychovibe said it might be a while if all th ekits are gone so just prepare to wait. i would call them to c if there are any available and if not ur gunna wait some time. but if they have some kits then ur in luck and it shouldnt take too long.

oolunchbox · Post by **oolunchbox** » Tue May 31, 2005 11:15 am

i talked to dawn a couple weeks ago and she said at last count there were 6 left, i plan on calling again tomorrow to confirm everythign and see about my genvibe discount and the shipping information. I'm mostly wondering how long it took for the kits to hit the road. i realize theyre in CA and will take about a week to get mine, I'm just trying to plan when i will need to be home to receive mine. I'm just really excited for this.

rcasciola · Post by **rcasciola** » Tue May 31, 2005 1:01 pm

well from the place that delivered mine i wasnt home then i called to ask them when they could pick me up and they delivered it the sameday
