Body kit quotes "Holly Crap!"

Post by Wrx-2-Vibe »

Well after calling several dealer for the sport package, I think I may wait until an aftermarket vendor makes one. Two dealers have quoted me a proce of over 2K plus installation! I had thought the price included 7 hours of labor (guess I was wrong). I just can't see a total of probably 3K for that kit when the new APS matrix kit goes for 650.00 retail (come on APC do a vibe kit!).

I've been to www4acp.net but there is no contact us link. I wanted to find out if they are planing a vibe kit! I'm stopping tonight at the dealer I bought mine from (who is also my landlord). He said he'd hook me up but after the recent quotes I got, im not holding my breath in anticipation.This is like trying to find mods for my WRX right after it came out, however these have been out for a year already! bummer!

2,165 is cost add 4.4 or 7 hours of labor on top of that. boy that is expensive. i think the price may get lower when they realize that they arent selling like they thought . (but that wont happen soon)i garuntee there will be more vibes with the package already on sold than individual sport package sales.its close to 500 bucks cheaper that way.
look my sniggies, i had a strizz-oke in my brizz-ain okay,you know what im saying. so i cant move all good. but thanks for mentioning that .thank you very much.athf4evr. click here! you know you want to!!!

doesn't that kinda fly in the face of the "roll your own" vibe/matrix metality they were going for? Pontiac: "Yeah we wanna jump on the tuner bandwagon, it'll just cost ya and arm and a leg".

I agree these prices are ridiculous. I am going to see if I can get a price on the top spoiler by itself. I can get parts for cost through my company and want to see what the actual dealer cost is.

wow! that is a lot........ but from what i hear apc is crap! So I don't even think I would want to take a chance and buy a body kit that they made and not for that kind of money! I would be pissed if it turned out to be crap....

Kewl, thanks for the heads up on APC. I've never really intalled any of their stuff. I've done others like Zender and BBS kit, but both were euro kits and needed some modification to fit. Oh well I guess I gotta bite the bullit and go for the factory kit.

Krera Racing is working on carbon fiber or fiberglass spoiler for the Vibe. If they had enough interest they would probably make the mid-spoiler and flares as well and I'm sure they would be much cheaper than Pontiacs package.
