I would think that would include paint time? Who is gonna stick a primer only accessory on their car?

$843 for the spoilers! No way! I would only want the top one and there's no way I'm paying $843 for one. I'll wait until the start showing up on eBay.

Sorry, I copied the info right off the fax I received. The price is just for the parts. The estimated labor is the time to install, so a delaer could prepare a price quote. The extra time in the primer parts is the estimated paint time. You could probably DIY. And yes Nova, I am sure some one will by the kits and try to seel individualy on eBay (isn't everything else there already?).

That is a really high price! I don't think I am going to pay that much for a spoiler. You can do a lot of other mods for the cost of that!

I agree. Besides, knockoff brands will probably be making them in a few months anyway. Then they will be a dime a dozen. Well, at least about half that price. I would consider buying only the upper one for around $200. I can paint it and clearcoat it myself as well. As for installation, I'd have to see what the directions say, but more than likely, I could do that myself pretty easily as well.

Well, if that's the case, I'm a little miffed. I was planning to get the Sport Package in Salsa. If I have to order the parts primered and pay to have it painted, its just not worth the money.Anyone else notice that when you goto http://www.pontiac.com and look at the Vibe accessories you see the sport package styling on a Salsa Vibe? I don't think the Sport Package will look as good in Black or Silver.Maybe I'll just wait until they release the Salsa.MA-VIBE-FAN: Any idea why Salsa isn't being released?

well my opinion is its cost to much. between the cost of my vibe, the new wheels i bought and the price of the sport package, and the supercharger i could have gotten a better car orginally. dont get me wrong i love my vibe, but i wouldnt put that much money into it. but thats just me.
