Body kit question.

This is just a hypothetical question.If I can get the company that made my GA's body kit to make a Vibes kit, will one of you guys close to them in Cali be willing to donate your car for making/fitting? These kits are of extreme high quality, so are a bit pricey. Just curious.

how pricey you talking about? $1890 painted like the GM one? or less?

The GM one is $1890??? Ouch. For my GA kit (They also make GP's and Alero kits, same price), which includes the front rear and side pieces was $1650.

No takers?? I thought for sure everyone wanted a good body kit. Ah well, I tried. Just have to tell the company nevermind.

Where in California are we talking about here... if it was in the Bay Area I would be willing to, but that's only if it is up here. Let me know.

I was going to get the AED kit for my 99 GA but go figure that when i had enough saved up that i blew my engine. Murphys law i guess. Its a great looking kit, for those who havent seen it check out their website http://aed.homeip.net/index.php They just introduced a new design as well, one that incorperates fog light pods into it, something you dont see on very many body kits these days.

wow! that GA kits is awesome! bet their body kits would be much better looking and more agressive than GM's. wonder if they wuld make one closer to the GTR?

I dont think they would do that close of one, due to copyright.

I don't live in CA either. But someone definately needs to designa good looking body kit for the Vibe because this is pissing me off, that it's over a year old and barely any mods have been made.

the god damned RX-8 already had body kits and all sorts of mods a little over a month after it was released for purchase! Just imagine if the Toyota Matrix didn't exsist, we probably wouldn't even be able to buy exhaust for the Vibe...no one makes parts for Pontiac

They do, you just have to search forever. If ya had a 3400 Grand Am or 3800 Grand Prix, they make tons of things for those. I dont. I'm still waiting for clear tails for the Vibe! Where are they???

quote:i gotta back hand that pesky confucious the next time i see him, he'll be eating those words well, i, the drunken master agree w/the chinese master. i really wouldn't expect a two tone body kit ever. it would look kind of crappy anyway. ever seen a jeep cherokee w/a body kit? of course not. the two tone is not meant to be really sporty, it is more of an suv look. you could always make your own out of plywood and paint it grey.

I have a monotone GT in the Los Angeles area, and would be willing to participate if it's somewhere in the Southern Cali area. Please keep me posted.
