I was doing some searching and I found this on bodykits.org. They say with a pre buy of 10 people and a donor car they will make any style kit for any car, heres a link to what im talking about, for those who are interested.

I know its a long shot but maybe this could be done.

you have better chances of winning the lottery than getting 10 pre-orders.

ehh... not interested.... Especially since you have to pay them the full price tag for the kit when it's not even made yet... then they ship it to a company address???? Why can't they ship it to my house????

Im guessing paying it in full is to ensure they dont make it and then everyone backs out...just an idea thow.

The shipping.....i was thinking that to.

I'd have to ask them a LOT of questions before I invest that kind of money to them....

I am a very picky buyer.... I will ask questions and if I don't like an answer I get, then I'm not buying... I guess it's a good thing, but sometimes I think it anoys the sellers. lol I just want to be sure I'm getting a good product with my money.

Here, I'll make it easy for all of you on the shipping.


How Is My Order Shipped?
Orders are shipped using a variety of methods. Most lightweight orders like spoilers are shipped via USPS Priority Mail. Heavier and large items that cannot be shipped by these methods, such as BodyKits and Carbon Fiber Hoods, are shipped via freight ground (truck) FREIGHT COLLECT, which means you will pay for shipping when your kit arrives. We do this method, so you can pay for shipping whatver the exact bill is, unlike other companies they charge more money so they can make a profit. We use various freight companies, determined by your location.

How Much Will It Cost?
The cost of shipping depends on your location and if the address is a business or residential location. For accurate quotes, we will need your postal/zip code. Residential locations are slightly higher than if we send it to a local business like your work, or a local bodyshop. We recommend shipping to a business address.Within the Continental U.S. you can see the table below for an estimated schedule of shipping costs. Product Freight*In CA Freight, please contact us. *For Pick up, please call us in Advance *MAIL ORDER ONLY, NO SHOWROOM Outside CA (Still Within U.S.)
Complete Bodykits including Shipping and Handling are shipped FREIGHT COLLECT, which means you pay for shipping when your kit arrives, and you dont have to pay for shipping upfront. Usually you will pay around $80-$150 for shipping when your kit arrives for shipping, depending if your location is a business or residential. All orders payed by credit card must ship to the billing address.

if we get the group buy ill pay the shiiping cost to have the car there, and shipped back if there is no one else to bring there car there......

old, the confusion came from part 2 in the pre buy section.

All we need is 10 pre-orders of the same custom kit you choose $675.00x10 people with the same car, and want the same design kit (that is a complete kit!) add shippping is paid upon delivery FREIGHT COLLECT. (you dont pay for shipping upfront, you pay for shipping when your kit arrives) we would need to ship to a business address (any business address will do , like your work, or a body shop)

I agree with you there pimp, this seems alor more reasonable seeing they are an acualy body kit company, plus the 5-7 weeks doesnt sound to bad realy, either does the 650 price, thow it may go higher once its finished maybe?

Ill pat myself on the shoulder for this good find....lol

pimpalero2003
11-19-2007, 12:38 AM
but 675 bucks for a full kit damn thats pretty god damn good and it will only take tops of 7 weeks..
so the people that always say i want the osv id kill for that kit man up put 675 down and get the damn kit......
and who ever gives up ther car for them to make it off of gets a kit free!!!!

you would have a free kit also can someone look up reviews on there kits and also if the its are kinda thin like the aas kit you can always add some more glass
in all this would be better then a lip kit
im not intersted in a kit but they say they make other things....

If we did this like sometime March or something then I would be in for sure, christmas is gonna be a killer on the next couple of pay checks.

Also, would they have to slightly change the kit between the 2 door and the 4 door?

AND Marc can give them all the details of the kit as well as the hundreds of pics he got with measurements

pimpalero2003
11-19-2007, 01:01 AM
shouldnt e much of a change what do the sides look like? on 4drs might have to trim a bit unless they make the kit on a 4dr then theres no problems all around

They say that it is for all 10 being the same body kit which means either 2 or 4 door, but I would hope as business people that might change if enough were ordered. We can olny ask.

The spoiler would not be difficult to reproduce by anybody. Somebody on this forum said they have a relative who said they could reproduce it no problem, who the hell was it? Not bdyman, but he could probably do it with his skill.

I for one would like to see what this powerlifter comes up with in the next couple of weeks. I don't see most of you guys having a bunch of spare cash floating around with the holidays upon us but I could be wrong. The great thing is we have some more info to get the ball rolling on this. Thanks paulyb for the great heads up.

If you guys have any more thoughts on this, post em up. Our biggest problem right now would be a donor car in California and to be honest my Final 500 is not gonna be the Guinea Pig. :( Who knows Powerlifter might come thru at a good price, or not for the kit.

he hasnt even started on sides or rear your talking prolly anoher 3 yrs for the rest of the kit.. the way i see the people in the group buy should put up 50 bucks extra for the kit and uy a high millage alero for 500 bucks title then the kit that comes free with it sell it to the 11th person then let everyone have there 50 bucks back and then sell the hoe to a salvage yard or give it away or what ever.. think group buy should be started now with a deadline in march or april after tax time.......

I like your thought process on the buy. Hell, it wouldn't even have to be an entire running Alero, could just be the front clip that we had sent to the company to have molds done.

My question is who retains the rights to the kit after the pre-buy? That is what I want to check with this company. What is stopping them from selling the kits themselves outside of our group?

i thought andysautosport had the rights to that kit. they were the first retailer of it to my knowledge.

how about if i win the lottery i will pay the $6,500 for the 10 pre-orders for the kit get will get made lol

or maybe everyone can donate like $50 to a mutual fund and then in 10 years we will cash it in have enough for the pre-orders!!

This is where having the front clip delivered to them on a hauler would work and the same for the rear if a good solis car can't be found cheap. The rocker should not as big an issue either way.

pimpalero2003
11-19-2007, 03:03 AM
well we need to find pics of the malibu kit they made. maybe find some of the guys with them and ask them some questions.
itll only be a few weeks for someone to give up a car if not my pln would work when i worked for dealerships we would get some in with high miles low tread on tires messed up paint and put like 300 in them...
and a front clip wouldnt work what bout sides and rear...
also 675 for a kit isnt bad so i believe there is a discount there
we prolly wont be able to use the osv name so might be able to name it

pimpalero2003
11-19-2007, 03:07 AM
also i wonder what they would charge for a hood since a whole kit is only 675 maybe 2 group buys at once and maybe we get a little price drop

For 675 I'd be in if its a good kit. BUT I can't do anything untill spring since I'm laid off for the winter. I'm diggin the idea of after tax time. Or if my sled sells then I'll have the money sooner but I am not going to count on that. What kinda hood you thinkin about Mr. Pimp?

Thanks for the donor car Paulyb!:yahoo:

I'll keep ya updated when they get back to me. He did say from start to finish of making the kit would take roughly a month.

Getting 10 people shouldn't be a problem but this is Aleromod.

No sooner did I post last and I got a call back from body kits. Just the body kit would be $600 on the group buy, the rear wing would be around an additional $275.

Parts are fibergalass, and the price does not include shipping.

He said after the buy that the body kit only would retail at $900.

So for the group buy, it would be $600 + shipping for each person.... After the group buy, the kit will be $900+ shipping? Sounds like a good deal.... They said shipping usually costs anywhere from $80-150. so $750 for a OSV kit sounds like a pretty good deal. I'm in if we can wait and do this during tax time when I get my tax returns.

Thanks for your continued support of Aleromod group buys. Headers you can get any time, OSV kit at this price probably one shot.
Start saving your money or I'll come to New York and kick your butt! ;)
Besides just ask Mom for the money.

LOL, your a douche;) First off.....i need to wait until i get a winter beater to get a body kit. there is NOOOOO way im driving with a body kit through these NY winters. And before i get a kit, i want to lower the car, because putting a body kit on without the car lowered looks stupid. So i think i will go the performance route;)

This is just for the bumpers and side skirts as far as I know. The lip spoiler would have to be made custom, it's molded into your trunklid and the rear quarter panels. I don't believe there would be any way to sell it as an add-on; you'd have to fiberglass/bondo it up yourself or have a customs place do it, which I may.

Why are you waiting for tax do you tax returns why wait til April or May, do them when you get your W-2 from your employer which they legally have to have in your hand by the end of January. Or just pay H&R Block to do them.

I'm not even thinking about screwing around with a hood at this time. Lets see how this goes first. That would bring the $$$$ total to high for most guys at this time.

Besides, nobody will ever agree on a hood, I don't like most of the choices myself. I'm personally a fan of a GTO styled hood.

***

I like both of those GTO hoods but I think the second one (orange) would look best on our cars as the scoops would look natural beside the center bulge in the Alero hood.

Also, making those scoops on the second hood functionable would be nice with the driver's side scoop connected to the stock filter box for a slight forced air induction at highway speeds ... and ... the passenger's side scoop open to the engine compartment to remove heat (added cooler air) for a small decrease in underhood temperatures.

^^ditto, second hood, fully functionally. That's way down the line.

Since it loox like you're heading this project, oldnuts, it may be helpful to start a thread and have it sticky-ed dedicated the bodykits.org pre-buyer list. That way you don't have to keep editing your post with updates. And to save time for yourself and other interested members constantly checking the thread for name changes, members could just PM ya askin to put them on and to take them off the list. Then when the project gets under way, only you or people you select can have access to the thread to give updates of its progress. It would save on post whoring and just keep it centered on its purpose. My .02

should maybe take a drive in a 11-12 second car sometime, just on the street. fast is not what we talk about, it's quickness

fast = top speed
quick = acceleration

quickness is what makes any vehicle more fun to drive than another. why would you buy a corvette over a geo metro? it accelerates a hell of a lot faster; you can get TO the speed limit quicker, allowing you to get around quicker and have more fun doing it. fastest i can go is 108, but my car is quite a bit more fun to drive than a stock alero

not really, the OSV looks nice, rare, yes, but it's slightly different than stock

the AAS is drastically different than stock, and i had my mind set on that one for quite some time now

but i'll probably fall through and go for the OSV, we'll have to see what the wallet holds in the future

THe AAS kit has to many little holes in the kit. I have only seen one car on here that has the AAS that looks good and that is rowdygls's ho.

The OSV would be a no brainer.

one thing i woud definitly question here is who is going to own the rights to the kit, i personaly, an chime in hear everybody who is going into this grou buy dont want to see this turn into a mass produced kit, like the kombat kit........

Im hoping as a group we decide this is a one shot, take it or not shot at this kit, and let body kits.org know that and agree not to sell it after the group buy before even going threw with it, what do ouguys tink, those who are going to be a part of the group buy?

why would we provide the car, the information, an the financing for the to make a kit there going to turn arround and sell it on the market, its worth the try to see, ifthats what the group feels they want to do.

my point is, we would be asking for them not to remake this kit after the make ours not saying hey we want a cut if you do...

pimpalero2003

they would be doing us a favor making it also if 10 people get togther to buy it quess what that tells the company that it could sell i still dont think that anyone that is not on this site would find out. you found the site about this how did u find it??? also there will be ther members that will want this kit also eventualy.. so why are you trying to be greedy..
it would be tight if they numbered the kits though in that case you would have the first osv with the kit number 1...
oh and that site might go for destrying the molds if everyone would pay alot more money for the kit.

Im really interested into getting in on this buy. The thing is Im kind of worried about dumping more money into the alero. I have a 2001 with 100k. do you think its worth it ? I just dont want to put more money into it if its going to break down later lol. What do you guys think ? If I got the kit I would get new paint as well so I planned on spending about 3000. Is the 2.4 a solid motor ? I have had no issues with the alero to this point except for the turn signals and window regulators like everyone else. I think I should be fine since I do a lot of preventive maintenance and stuff.

the 2.4 is a solid engine... 176,500 mi... 6 PSI.. raced hundreds of times, never, ever any problem

lol they're doing us a favor by actually PRODUCING the kit for us, why would we try to tell them what they can and can't do when they're capable of making more? you don't want anyone else to ever have a chance to buy the kit if they don't have the money right when the Group Purchase goes down? That's kinda asshole-ish

The point of doing this was for our Aleromod community. If you start dictating to them what they can and cannot sell they will tell us to get screwed and produce it on their own knowing that there is some need and want for it.
If you want to block them out totally then you have to copyright the kit and all the B/S involved.

They are compensating us for bringing them the donor car. In regards of the "financing the buy" it's not financing. Many companies ask for money up front on custom work, they are not going to do all that work and have 2 people buy the kit when it's all said and done.

Having us make them crush the molds when this buy is completed would make us just like GM in my opinion, idiots.

All that I know is I want the kit for the Coupe I will be buying in the future and for those on here that would like one. This might just spark more interest in doing other groupo buys in thye future.

That is the old farts

Much like Marc said in that thread, makes them sign a waiver saying that the car is to be returned in the same condition (with the exception of the kit) it was given to them and it must be back in your hands in 6-7 weeks.

chances are, that thread was about 4 years old and somehow i can see there experiance and process being alot smoother now then it was back then, if that thread was only a year old at the oldest then i would be really concerned but again, we'll still have to do the proper, up to date, research on them.

Accually I was wondering if there was enough room to route the piping from where it comes out now...(drivers side) over to the middle while still keeping a clean look or If it had to be re-routed all the way back.

Silentalero
11-26-2007, 04:32 PM
has to be rerouted, stock exhaust wont work. For the best fit i have my slp already prepiped to bend around to the center. Thats gonna be your best bet to get the fitment. The tips are gonna be a whole nother thing. I know scot has some vette tips that are close but they are a lil rounded at the ends.

nickbain
11-26-2007, 06:28 PM
k so, where it comes past the rear "axel" you can bend it from there to come to the center and not hang too far down or anything. That's what I meant by the stock location I just didn't explain it very well. As for the tips ya I know they are going to have to be custom to be exactaly like the osv or the vette ones to be close.

Silentalero
11-26-2007, 06:40 PM
yea, the muffler goes sideways and the pipes bend around the muffler and into the end there, its about as tight of a fit as a jersey hooker so you got room to modify

You guys are talking like the exhaust system will be connected to the rounded triangle exits in the rear of the bumper. The image you posted shows that the real OSV's exhaust ended before the metal triangle center exit "exhaust tips"

I never thought or said the exhaust was connected to the tips, that's why I was confused at first with you statement the way it was worded. Remember that the OSV was a concept and didn't have to really follow laws or such. I personally would like it if the exhaust exited all the way out beyond the bumper but if it would be cheaper to do it like the concept then that is fine by me.

I will say that we haven't even got the kit buy together and all questions answered and you guys are worried about the exhaust tips. I would think that any decent sheet metal guy could easily reproduce the tips. They could even be done in aluminum which I would prefer. They don't have to be exactly like the OSV to the exact detail.
