BodyKits a Maybe?????

ebslopp · Post by **ebslopp** » Mon Apr 05, 2004 10:38 pm

i'm sure they'll make more than one body kit. They're just testing the market to see what car owners are interested, so they don't make one for the Focus and then find out later that that was a bad idea. But I still want to win. Tell all your friends and use as many computers as you can!!!

The poll limits you to one vote per IP address. Does anybody have a web site that gets a lot of traffic? the URL to vote for the Vibe is http://www.autosportz.com/interactive_p ... ident=13if you put this on your web page as img src=http://www.autosportz.com/interactive_p ... nt=13>your users will get a broken image show up, but they will have voted for Vibe!

hmm...maybe we should add that line to the genvibe site so everytime someone comes here it will vote? lolI voted from school tonight too. We were working on a project so I didn't really get a chance to try from other computers. Then some professor showed up 2 hours late for his class and went psycho and chased us all out of the lab (some of the labs are used for computer classrooms). I think he was drunk, too. The dean's office is getting a letter from me tomorrow about this, I got the prof's name from the lab attendant.

Netscape is where i learned to use it. Just need to find a site that has fast proxies and need a couple of free hours

if you're on a network, it goes by IP address... already discussed previously. have to go dial up and change the IP address then you can vote as many times as possible.

or if you're network savvy, you can keep changing your proxy and vote as many times as you can find an available proxy.

Hello Gen Vibe members....Just wanted to thank each of you for taking the time to visit our site and to vote. We did some calling around and it doesn't look like any of bigger manufacturers (Wings West, Kaminari) are going to make a bodykit for the Vibe. The only thing that you can do as a Vibe owner is to contact companies directly about making parts for your car. If they see that there is a enough demand, they will consider making the parts. Pontiac hasn't been a car manufacturer that really has much of a demand for aftermarket parts such as bodykits because it seems as though most Pontiac owners seem to only be interested in engine mods. As parts become available for your car, you can expect to see them on our web site...http://www.AutoSportz.com

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Fri Apr 09, 2004 2:30 am

well that blows!!! i still say we continue to vote! if they see their is some kind of demand out there... maybe we can convince them! and get that vibe into that place there in CA for fitting and what not!!!! it's not fair!!! and what about those sunfires? i see lots of body kits for those? and grand ams.

Hang in there Sam, we'll kick someone into building one soon. I know Street Force has to be working on something because they are mass producing stuff for GM on cars as lame as Aleros lol... I've tried contacting other places though like that website suggested... never got a response back.

And we could get Sam to show up at their door (Street Force) in MTL and bug the heck outta them. Take your frustration right to them! They answered the call for euro tail lights for sunfires... now they need to step up with a body kit like they build for other GM products.Anyone know any other sites? I have been doing some research with Juliana into conversion Matrix kits... will keep you informed.

Stang2Vibe · Post by **Stang2Vibe** » Fri Apr 09, 2004 11:02 am

Yeah, I'm starting to think that this user is bogus too. They signed up and their profile says their name is "Gypsy". And I don't think that they would have added the Vibe as an option on their poll if they really weren't interested in developing a kit for it. Probably just some greedy little RSX biotch trying to ruin our chances.

Stang2Vibe · Post by **Stang2Vibe** » Fri Apr 09, 2004 11:10 am

Now I'm convinced that that was a bogus member. If you look at the bottom of the site where the poll was linked to, they already offer full body kits for the Sunfire and Firebird. I thought that Pontiac owners "only wanted engine mods", huh? They have a kit available for the Matrix too, but I dont think it looks very good. The Sunfire kit for the newer bodystyle looks nice though.Can we get this member banned for being an imposter??
