OSV bodykit Group Buy

[paulyb]

olds ill call you when i get out of work tonight Im waiting on some estimates to have the car shipped.

ok so i checkd my email and i have a few quoted fr the first week in feb. 565.00 one way....sooooo m looking at like 1200 all together to have it shipped there and back.

Fuk it we dont have another car so ill take one for the team........im callng the shipping company and seeng about a pick up date for feb 1st. Mon.

[BlackJack]

well...everyone seems to be forgetting that I have a full undamaged set of front/rear bumpers and sideskirts, and from where all the east-coast and midwest owners are, it is on the way there. (hint-hint)

[Oldsnut]

I thought the front wouldn't work with the Turbo set up you have?

[paulyb]

soooo do I need to make the shipping or not...lol

either way we need to get this kit made................

[Oldsnut]

Call me, I am in Cali the first week in Feb, in Napa precisely. That is why I need to talk to you.

[paulyb]

ill call you when leave work, im on nights its only 330am here...lol

[BlackJack]

Oh, I meant someone could drop by here on the way to cali and use/borrow my bumpers if needed to get the kit made, if they're coming from the east. I'm not ready with the car itself right now.

[bdyman]

I believe Chris is using them again so he can finish his car and sell it.


yes you are correct scot knows he has to give all my stock stuff back

[Oldsnut]

Zol, I need to know where you stand on the buy.

[cavaliers60]

oh man..... If only I got my W-2's last week like my brother did.....

[paulyb]

get a loan from the parents.....lol

[Oldsnut]

oh man..... If only I got my W-2's last week like my brother did.....At the rate we are going you might still have a chance.

[paulyb]

Come on were so god damn close.......

[Oldsman]

we need to get a damn car to bodykits first. having all the money does nothing with no donor car.

[cavaliers60]

Very true, Oldsman.... Well if I get the money before it goes all the way, I MIGHT possibly get the kit. I'm not 100% sure yet.

[paulyb]

we need to get a damn car to bodykits first. having all the money does nothing with no donor car.

Sorry im not pissing away the money to have my car shipped there and have this fall threw, I already said as soon as were 100% sure and I talk to bodykits for all the details Ill have it shipped there.

If your so worried use your car as the donor car.

[Silentalero]

keys are here waiting for anybody wanting to take a west coast drive

[Oldsnut]

keys are here waiting for anybody wanting to take a west coast drive
Sorry Marc, I don't trust your vehicle one bit, no matter how reliable you say it is.

I have had to book my flights for my sales meeting, the owner was getting pissed that I was the last to turn in my itinerary for travel. If everyone would have responded to posts and PM's, I still might be driving to California.

I'm still waiting for Zol's response to my post and PM.

[IRONDOG442]

Come on Oldsnut we are all cars guys here just take a bag of tools with you and bill Marc for any replacement parts you need to use to get you there. I'd take any modern car across the county with no fear, especially an Olds. I have bought cars in Washington State with major problems and drove them home.

Who here couldnt do an intake seal on Rt 5 in Cali anyway ? :lol:

[Silentalero]

eh its your choice. Im trying to help out whatever way i can, so saying we dont have a donor car is a lie because im willing to let somebody drive it there. If i had the time, id drive it. I trust it since when i went to lansing i had every fluid and filter flushed and changed. Plus its a 2.4L so no LIM problem. The only reason the tires popped were becuase they rubbed from the hydros and both were replaced and the hydros are off. Along with the loose wire but its your choice. Doesnt matter to me.

[paulyb]

Im still offering my car, we just dont have the final details set yet. and im just not shipping it there until were a go......thanks for offering silent, at least there are a few people on here that are serious about getting this done.

[Silentalero]

I would fund the project completely but the problem i see is i know this sites track history with actually putting a dollar forward. But then again the only way id do it is if we worked something out so i owned the rights to the mold.

[Oldsnut]

You can own the rights for $9200 as I stated a long time ago. There is no guarantee that bodykits would make a slighltly different version and undercut you in price and then start selling them. Don't you think I have already thought of that also. It just doesn't make financial sense.

And where did I say we didn't have a donor car, I don't feel that paulb should get his car there and his free kit be voided by his shipping fee.

[paulyb]

I here you there I wouldnt mind getting the rights to it, Just like olds said, one little change and they can sell there version. Im guessing this site is notorius for falling threw on group buys?

[Oldsnut]

I here you there I wouldnt mind getting the rights to it, Just like olds said, one little change and they can sell there version. Im guessing this site is notorius for falling threw on group buys?
Yes indeedy pauly, the only group buy I have seen since I have been on here is the swaybar buy, and that was in conjunction with the guys at GAGT.com

[doubleN0alero]

There was an HID one back in the day too

[paulyb]

lol.....i laugh with everybody saying how much they want the osv kit and when the chance comes, nothing. Thats why Im all about this being a one time thing if we could.

[Oldsnut]

Here are some pics that bodykits sent me today. They show a Range Rover kit that was made by them, and appeared at the SEMA show. I want to post these before I leave for Phoenix tommorow.

i want my kit, yesterday.. but
it might just take time.

it will work..

[paulyb]

damn thats fning bad ass.

It may take time, but well sell osv kits by summer......i hope...lol

[DOHC_tuner]

hey those pics give me ideas on how to add...with cardboard!

[paulyb]

hey those pics give me ideas on how to add...with cardboard!

lol................got to shape some how I guess.

[pimpalero2003]

thats the way to do it ask richie

[paulyb]

so im tempted to ask, what is the diffrence that will be made to the kit so gm doesnt sue us and repo or cars...lol

just took a loook at that ford calaender issue.

[[ion] C2]

this has been explained over and over, GM can't do anything

[Oldsnut]

C2;329036']this has been explained over and over, GM can't do anything
Correct you are! They do not have a copyright on the OSV. It is really not our problem, we are not the ones making the kit.

And Ford realized their mistake and they are now allowing it to be printed.

[Oldsnut]

hey those pics give me ideas on how to add...with cardboard!

Remember they make a mold off of that work that is seen in the
"in progress" picture.

[paulyb]

C2;329036']this has been explained over and over, GM can't do anything

sorry im fairly new to the bourds but i'll use the search button to find out.:yahoo:

[Silentalero]

exactly why i wont do it. :( but oh well.

[Oldsman]

Sorry im not pissing away the money to have my car shipped there and have this fall threw, I already said as soon as were 100% sure and I talk to bodykits for all the details Ill have it shipped there.

If your so worried use your car as the donor car.

no need to get pissy with me. up until my post the 100% of a donor car was up in the air. no clarfication from you.

I would love to have my car as the donor car but it is just not realistic or healthy to drive my car to CA.

I understand not wanting to spend the money to ship it to bodykits without all the money there and everything ready. But if you look at the other side of the coin who's going to send the money without a 100% donor car. without money or donor car the buy falls thru.

Which this is something you need to find out Andy, if we all send our money now and say we don't get a donor car there what kind of a guarantee do we have that our money will be sent back?

[SikMindz]

Not that I know any Alero owners out here anymore but if you guys need my help just holla. About 4.5 hours away currently but I do the drive every few months to visit people.

[AftermathAlero]

thats the way to do it ask richie

that the way i do. Making pieces from scratch. Do it w/ cardboard first then transfer over to fiberglass.

[Oldsnut]

exactly why i wont do it. :( but oh well.
Then why bring up owning the molds, its over and done with. We've discussed this before.

[Oldsnut]

Not that I know any Alero owners out here anymore but if you guys need my help just holla. About 4.5 hours away currently but I do the drive every few months to visit people.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you can locate an Alero owner that is willing to give up his car for 6 weeks or so and wants an OSV kit on his car or save paulyb on overall cost then fine.

[Oldsnut]

Here is where we stand right now. If you are on this list and are comtemplating pulling out, do so now so not to waste any more of our time!

This is just a back up plan folk, better off beign prepaired then not.

So you only have $270 saved? Didn't we ask for people that were serious about it and had the funds available?

Like paulyb said, go sell yourself on the streets Bro.

[black]

zol: i have $20.

what'll that get me ;)

I was expecting money from a reliable family member, but he is in a big hole right now, and I don't think it's appropriate for me to ask him for it.

Sorry about this. :(

If you cant you cant...its sucks but heysome things are out of a persons control..........

[zoL]

If you cant you cant...its sucks but heysome things are out of a persons control..........

Yeah, but it seems like I'm "that guy." I feel so shitily, and if it comes down to they need one more person and I ruin it for everyone... fuck. I'll borrow some money if you guys need me for this, but I really don't want to go into debt for a body kit, only if it will help this go through.

P.S. You wouldn't catch me dead in New Bedford. I feel safer in Mattapan.

[Silentalero]

Yeah, but it seems like I'm "that guy." I feel so shitily, and if it comes down to they need one more person and I ruin it for everyone... eff. I'll borrow some money if you guys need me for this, but I really don't want to go into debt for a body kit, only if it will help this go through.

P.S. You wouldn't catch me dead in New Bedford. I feel safer in Mattapan.

Ok honestly man, do NOT go into debt and put yourself in a financial bind just to get a bodykit. Yes this is a group buy but if things change and you have to back out then so be it. You should never feel "forced" to get the cash. If worse comes to worse and we are short people im sure scot, andy or me can fork the extra kit cash over and sell it afterwards. Obviously you will have first dibs if you can come up with it later.

Irondog, your comment was useless so it was deleted.

[Silentalero]

Then do me a favor and delete the rest of the members posts here that have posted here that are also not buying the kit.

The other members arent bashing the group buy either. You have no argument so drop the crap, it gets old hearing it over and over

[cavaliers60]

If it does come down to needing one more person, I should have enough to get the kit using my tax returns.

[paulyb]

Yeah, but it seems like I'm "that guy." I feel so shitily, and if it comes down to they need one more person and I ruin it for everyone... eff. I'll borrow some money if you guys need me for this, but I really don't want to go into debt for a body kit, only if it will help this go through.

P.S. You wouldn't catch me dead in New Bedford. I feel safer in Mattapan.

your not that guy and just like silent said, theres no use going into a financial burden for a body kit, plus your not the only 1 to back out, so dont put the burden of blame on yourself...now this is getting to mushy so im going to punch myself in the groin, id advise you do the same.......:lol:

[meadus101]

Tell you guys what... I'm in Eastern Canada. If someone will pay for gas, I'll drive the Ho down.


Little humour? For those who don't know geography, I'm on the Most Eastern point in North America, And i'm Pretty much in the Northeast Corner. The opposite of California. :rolleyes2:

[black]

^^^ will $20 cover it??

[paulyb]

how far is it? miles wise

[zoL]

how far is it? miles wise

6,587 km, or in normal terms, 4,093 miles. It's doable.

[paulyb]

roughly $650 for gas...........hey im down for an extra 100 added to the body kit.

[SikMindz]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you can locate an Alero owner that is willing to give up his car for 6 weeks or so and wants an OSV kit on his car or save paulyb on overall cost then fine.

If I can meet or think of anyone I'll keep it in mind.

[paulyb]

sooooo how about we stay onm the subject about getting the kit made.

[Oldsman]

I guess the biggest question is this..............when is the donor car getting there so we can send our money.

So Pauly when is your getting there?

[paulyb]

Im working that out with oldsnut as he is the one in contact with Bodykits. Hopefully it will be very very soon.

[cavaliers60]

Exactly how much are we talking about spending for the kits?? like almost $800? $650 for the kit and about $150 in shipping?

[Oldsnut]

Exactly how much are we talking about spending for the kits?? like almost $800? $650 for the kit and about $150 in shipping?

If we lose another car the price goes up to $675 + donation for the donor car per bodykits etc.

$150 in shipping would probably be the extreme East coast and would be cheaper if it is shipped to a business address according to them. Shipping costs cannot be calculated until the kit is done and they see how much it weighs and the dimensions.
As soon as people get back to me, I can post all the details.

[cavaliers60]

Ok cool. The only problem I have with getting the kit right now is getting it painted, and my stock rims will look like crap with the body kit on.....

[nickbain]

Ok cool. The only problem I have with getting the kit right now is getting it painted, and my stock rims will look like crap with the body kit on.....

If you get it now for the prebuy price you can always store it untill you get the money to paint it and rims can always come after as well.

[Oldsnut]

Ok cool. The only problem I have with getting the kit right now is getting it painted, and my stock rims will look like crap with the body kit on.....
As Nick said, do not think about the paint or wheels now. It can be painted at any time in the future and then buy wheels that go with the "look" you want for your car. Any kit or rear bumper you buy will have to be painted anyways. With the color of your car now, it would look sharp. You are going to keep the same color, right. Let me know what you decide. When this does happen it will go quickly.

[cavaliers60]

I really don't want to pass this up, but I'm leaning towards getting things fixed that need to be fixed on my car before I get any kind of kit.

[clutch1]

Dude, it'll cost $300 + to get it fixed I'm guessing, just bite the bullet n help the community out by getting in on this.

[Oldsnut]

Update time.

The time frame for this to get done and when paulyb could have the car in LA is just to tight to use his car for the donor car. He is stationed in Japan in the military and is scheduled to get out in March and his car along with him will go back to the East coast or something like that. First off I would like to thank paulyb for offering his car in the first place, second is of all the people that have offered their cars are military people, it says something about GI's in general I think and I say thanks to all.

Now to the newest potential donor car, it is sburke who is another military guy. He is just waiting on commanders approval to go to L.A. Like joserivas, he needs a months notice but it's looking good.
Thanks dude!!!!!!

This and other reasons is why I always support our military guys. I had a chance to talk with some guys that had just got out of boot camp while on a business trip last week. We were at a restaurant at Lambert Field in St. Louis their views on our country and where they want it to be are amazing! The bad part was I could only buy drinks for 2 of them because they were all to young.

We are working out the details in PM's right now and should have all info ready after I get back from California on on Feb 7th. While I'm there I will not have my computer available, it will be in the hands of my companies IT guys. If I can post information sooner I will.


FYI, I called a bunch of junkyards in L.A. are and non had any Aleros except for a location that was given to me by another junkyard. He had an Alero that was T-boned and wanted $1600 for it and wouldn't even think about renting to us.

[DOHC_tuner]

okay im now interested in the spoiler....so count me in for the spoiler. I would want the bodykit but not enough funds for another kit right now since Im still finishing up my LD9 rebuild but I can put some funds aside for just the spoiler. So again count me in for the OSV spoiler

[Oldsnut]

I will only ask once, are you sure?

[DOHC_tuner]

yeah why?

[Oldsnut]

yeah why?
Just checking, others have backed out.

[DOHC_tuner]

just let me know when you need the money about 2 or 4 weeks in advance that way I can put money aside for the spoiler. Cause every paycheck I put 200 bucks aside for the motor and well I guess I set my project back a bit just for this OSV spoiler.

[Oldsnut]

If sburke gets the approval for a short leave, it will be due in 3-4 weeks. which is perfect timing.

[Oldsman]

3-4 weeks sounds great.................let us know where to send the money too and other details

[Oldsnut]

3-4 weeks sounds great.................let us know where to send the money too and other details
After talking with bodykits over the last couple of weeks the payments will most likely go through me due to their policy changes on group buys etc. As soon as I know al, I will let you know on here and in PM's.

I did talk to sburke tonight, we need to work out some small stuff. Once that happens it should be good to go.


WTF happened on that post?

[paulyb]

sits and waits anxiously

[cavaliers60]

swe ett hi swil lb e so onig ues s

It took me a couple minutes to figure out what you just said. :lol: After doing all my tax stuff, I will NOT have enough to go through with the group buy, so now I'm 100% out instead of 50% out. lol Sorry guys. I wish you all the best of luck in the group buy and I'll definitely keep a watch at the progress.

[SlickSketcher]

is the order already in, or are there still openings to get one of the OSV kits?

[Oldsnut]

is the order already in, or are there still openings to get one of the OSV kits?
You can still get in. We are waiting to hear if donor car is a go to have the kit produced.

[paulyb]

how we looking for geeting the car?

[Oldsnut]

Waiting to hear something from Sburke on when he can be there and he had trouble getting thru to bodykits to speak with them on the phone. When I know something, I'll post it. I leave for California tomorrow for workand don't know what type of internet I'll have available.

[joserivas19]

hey guys, i just got back a couple hours ago from deployment. man was that an uncomfortable patrol. anyways, so the status on the kit is still pending?? that sucks, i was hoping that this would be underway already. just keep us updated on whats going on.

[Oldsman]

hey guys, i just got back a couple hours ago from deployment. man was that an uncomfortable patrol. anyways, so the status on the kit is still pending?? that sucks, i was hoping that this would be underway already. just keep us updated on whats going on.

so were we. but just got to confirm some more things with sburke as soon as he responds and we should be good to go.

[paulyb]

There was an issue with the time it took to get the buy set up, to were the time they needed it would go way over when I needed the car, due to coming back states side. Thats why I couldnt have mine there, basicly it took to long.

But yes I think were just waiting to find out about sburke like oldsman said.

[Oldsnut]

Just a little update on the buy now that I am back from California.

I have not heard from Sburke in almost 2 weeks, I don't know anything about his situation. Last I heard, he was trying to get a hold of bodykits.

I also have been in contact with Jose now that he is back from his emergency tour of duty. He has told me that he must go back out on his normal tour in 3 weeks. He wants to be the donor car but cannot at this time, which I totally understand. If this hasn't gone thru by the time he gets back from tour we will rethink everything.

That is as much as i know at this point guys.

BJ, thanks for the heads up with the info, let me know if you hear
anything more on it.

I am not giving up on this group buy yet.

[[ion] C2]

So we have no California members? And the Alero is everyone's daily driver, so no one can spare their vehicle?

Someone drive Silent's car down there. Lol.

[paulyb]

C2;333975']So we have no California members? And the Alero is everyone's daily driver, so no one can spare their vehicle?

Someone drive Silent's car down there. Lol.

are you getting a kit, no.....nuff said.

[Oldsnut]

C2;333975']So we have no California members? And the Alero is everyone's daily driver, so no one can spare their vehicle?

Someone drive Silent's car down there. Lol.

The one California member has to move back to the East coast once he is back from Japan. There are no active members from what we can tell.

First off, my vacation time is now spoken for. Second, I, or nobody else trusts his car. I was going to drive their on the company dime, but that has since past.

Why don't you come up and drive it then?

[paulyb]

damn i wish people didnt take so f'n long to decide.

[[ion] C2]

Got school and work. But over a vacation I could do it. I'm sure there has to be someone that's free.

[paulyb]

C2;333986']Got school and work. But over a vacation I could do it. I'm sure there has to be someone that's free.

dude...your not in the group buy so quit chiming in.......

[Oldsnut]

C2;333986']Got school and work. But over a vacation I could do it. I'm sure there has to be someone that's free.
Don't you think they would have stepped forward to get a free kit by now!

Get rid of that AAS kit and go OSV like real men. :lol:

[paulyb]

Don't you think they would have stepped forward to get a free kit by now!

Get rid of that AAS kit and go OSV like real men. :lol:

lol thats going to be my nuw sticker..real men rock the osv

[Cliff8928]

My vacation is all planned out for now until the fall or I'd just drive my car there..

[zoL]

Is this dead? :(

[Oldsnut]

No it is not.

I have heard nothing back from sburke and will not waste much more time on this at the present until we have a donor car. Joserivas19 is still willing to be a donor but it will have to wait til he gets back in May from next tour of the Pacific in the sub. If sbuke steps up it is a go.

Scot, I got your voicemail but was very busy this weekend.

like oldsnut said, im willing to donate the car for the projecy, the thing is im leaving in a week or so and wont return till may. if my wife didnt need the car right now id take it to CA. but yeah, i want this done as much as all of you, so if it doesnt get done by the time i return i'll take it no questions asked.

[zoL]

If it comes to May and joserivas19 can't, I could be the donor car...

[Oldsnut]

It would cost a small fortune to get your car to Califirnia bro, not to mention 3-4 days from where you live.

[sburke]

Sorry to drop of the face of the earth, I had a short notice project I had to go take care of for my employers. I am the subject matter expert in that field so I really had no choice. All I have had access to for a while is the SIPRNET. Can't really access aleromod from there :)

In any event I am back, and can still get the car there if needed. Sent an email to bodykits and I am waiting on a reply now.

If you guys ever can't get a hold of me, ask blackjack to contact me, he knows how, and he only lives about a mile from me.

Once again sorry about the disappearance.

I guess if I'm going to be your point of contact, you might want to get me your phone number and location. If you still have my number, call me with the info.

I can find out the hard way, but I don't like to call in favors to look up info for something that's not life-or-death.

[joserivas19]

hey guys, just wanted to say good-bye for now. i leave on deployment again in the morning and wont be back till end of may or so. im still in for the kit, as long as nothing happens to my wife or son while im out. anyways, if the buy doesnt go through while im gone, i will for sure take it to CA when i return. i have to go visit family that lives 15 mins away from corona. and i'll just fly back from ontario. not too hard. anyways, all you guys take care and good luck on the buy. :-)

[Oldsnut]

Have a safe trip Jose.

what happened to paulyb being the donor?

[nickbain]

what happened to paulyb being the donor?

the timeline didn't work out for him, his car had to be on the east coast or somthing.

[BlackJack]

ok, I'm old and senile and I suppose this was already discussed, but....

Is the kit going to be made with ground clearance based on a 1.5" drop or at stock ride height?

[paulyb]

what happened to paulyb being the donor?

I exspalined this before, Im on a time line for when my car needed to be on the east coast, and the shipping of my car to RI had a very minimal neg time line. Due to the time everyone needed to get in the group buy and it set, my car would have had to been shipped from body kits.org to the east coast with no bumpers, no sides, and any results from the kit being fabbed.

[sburke]

Blackjack has a good point, my car has a 1.5" drop, is this going to be a problem.

[Oldsnut]

I thought this was one of the questions you were asking bodykits? Am I wrong.

[BlackJack]

I thought this was one of the questions you were asking bodykits? Am I wrong.

Sburke shouldn't be asking this of bodykits. Whoever is heading up the project should be asking bodykits. That way "3rd party" communication can be alleviated. Ever play the "telephone game" ?

[Oldsman]

i agree

[paulyb]

Blackjack has a good point, my car has a 1.5" drop, is this going to be a problem.

no this is no going to be a problem. When I was in the talks with body kits, I asked them if it would matter the height of the car, and they said it didnt matter, as long as if it was on air (like mine) its functional.

[Oldsnut]

OK, I've dropped everything I am doing right now and made a call to bodykits.

What I was told confirms why I am not spending a lot of time on this right now as I stated in a previous post

1)I gave the phone number to sburke for bodykits several weeks ago. He told me that he just tried to call but couldn't reach them, I called and got thru right away as usual whenever I call.

2)In post #365 he said he has sent an email to bodykits to ask them several questions about the process and other issues and was waiting for a reply. Bodykits has received emails only from myself, Oldsman, paulb and joserivas in regards to the group buy. Absolutely none from sburke. I want these guys to hear the answers first hand from bodykits.

3)I think back on comments he made to me saying if I have to trailer my car it will be there. Why would you need to trailer your car on a 6 hour drive unless it's broke?

I personally am putting my money on joserivas to be the donor car when he comes back in May. That's just me though guys, I'm the one getting all the PM's and emails in regards to the group buy. I have to sift thru all the BS and that is what I am doing right now, sifting and eliminating. There are a few on here that understand the facts as stated.

In regards to the 1.5 inches, I've answered that question before. It is No problem.

That is all.

Nuts out

[BlackJack]

Nuts out
don't you mean "Ballz out" ? :D

hang in there. If I get my trans finished this weekend as I'm suspecting, and I can make the 12's or better in the 1/4 as I'm suspecting, I'll hook it up. If I don't get everything tuned to my liking first though, it's a no-go. But at least I'm not going to give a full-on committment. There's a few "If's" in there for a reason.

[Oldsnut]

There has to be if's in there. As for the 12's, I don't feel that you would attempt it if you could not accomplish the task. By the way I saw a picture of you on the net, how do you fit in an Alero? You are not a small guy and for those that have not seen the picture, it is all muscle.

Good Luck on the 12's!!!!!!!!!!!

How do I fit in an Alero? I'm not that tall...I'm only 5'7" but I weigh 230. Just can't have any passengers in the front seat :D Maybe that's why the electric motors on my seats are going out? j/k man ;)

thanks for the GL bro!

[sburke]

I'm not even going to fight this one very long.

First - Bodykits is wrong, I have emailed them, I had to register on their website just to do it.

Second - I have said since day one I do not care what they do to my car, I just want the project underway as quickly as possible. You told me to wait and contact them. I have informed you that I am having trouble with that. It seems the logical thing to do would be to do what I asked and give me a date. I do not need to speak with them to make this happen other than the day I drop off my car.

So sift through these facts if we are going to be smartasses about this.

1. I have a alero and am closer than anyone else

2. I can have it there within a month of notification from YOU with the possibility of getting it there the first weekend after I am contacted

3. I can not get in touch with bodykits.

4. You can

Facts + Common Sense = solution
Call them - set up a tentative date - call me make sure I can get the car there - call them back confirm - 6 to 8 weeks later everyone is happy and you aren't wasting your time on countless messages and PMs.

[sburke]

Since people on here want to question my integrity, this proves when I registered and this is the only email I have ever received from this company.

[sburke]

Sburke shouldn't be asking this of bodykits. Whoever is heading up the project should be asking bodykits. That way "3rd party" communication can be alleviated. Ever play the "telephone game" ?


Thank you blackjack - this is my point entirely. Just tell me what to do and Ill do it, it really is that simple.

[Oldsnut]

Since people on here want to question my integrity, this proves when I registered and this is the only email I have ever received from this company.
Just because you registered at their online store, doesn't mean you sent an email to them. Post a screenshot of your emails sent log showing one asking your questions. You do not need to register at their site to send an email to them. I have sent them emails and never registered. The othe odd thing is that I gave you Aldo's email address previously many weeks ago.

Why can you not contact bodykits, I have no problem getting thru, nor has anyone else.

You are the one who said you would contact them and ask questions, I am not your babysitter.

Is your car driveable at this point? Why were you talking about trailering a stock Alero?

[doubleN0alero]

So it seems the simple solution would be this. Oldnut, just call them and set up a date 5 or 6 weeks out. Sburke said he'd take it, he just can't get ahold of them for whatever reason.
So say April 12th or something the car will be there and it'll be on him to get it out there on April 12th...just make sure that date is good with bodykits first.

[Oldsnut]

Before we schedule anything lets just see how many people on this list are still wanting this kit done.

These are the guys that have committed to the kit already.

This would have been done already but this guy keeps changing his story, disappears for weeks, won't respond to PM's or emails. Not even sure if his car is driveable, The guys at bodykits don't want to be pushing his car around the warehouse and lots.

He originally said he would give us the dates it would be there and now switching and saying to schedule it. Wish he would make up his mind.

I also find it hilarious that he says to contact BJ to get hold of him. Since when is BJ someones personal secretary?

[Gr1m]

lol this ones gonna flop, lets hope the other one goes better.

[BlackJack]

Since people on here want to question my integrity

You want me to open that can of worms for you, or do you want to just show the screen shots of the opened email, forward the originals and maybe post telephone records? Nobody was questioning your integrity, they were simply offering you a chance to back your word up with solid proof. We're on the internet. These people don't know anything about the real you. This is an important event to them. Of course there's going to be some skepticism

I'd expect someone to check up on me if I was handling something that was this important to everyone involved, with this much total money riding on the deal.

Just show em and shut em all up, old buddy, just like we used to do in the old days.

Unless you have something to add to the by, don't post. Nobody needs your crap.

Joserivas has already committed to be a donor if it doesn't happen by the time he gets back from his little Sub tour in May. Hell bodykits already has his money in hand if it goes now.

[DUSTIN0285]

Thats why it says "no" under SPOILER

[pimpalero2003]

it does kinda lok that way though sir.

[cavaliers60]

I believe it will go through.... I'm just hoping it goes through soon so people have their cars for ASS '08. I'd love to see the kits in person.

[black]

i just got notice that i have an offer on one of my houses.

if it gets sold before this goes through, i am just going to freekin buy a car down there have them make the kit and sell the car.

i want this kit.

[leoalero]

Hi,do you ship in canada?

[Oldsnut]

Yes it will ship to Canada.

[leoalero]

So how can i buy the body kit?

[Oldsnut]

So how can i buy the body kit?
You can't buy it yet. It is not in production, it will be a custom made kit. Read the thread and then let me know if your in.

[cavaliers60]

are there any updates yet on the group buy? Haven't seen much activity on here recently.

[sburke]

I just called Aldo and finally got through. He seems like good guy. He said he will be calling oldsnut soon and letting him no about what we discussed. I am in BNCOC for the next two months starting this wednesday so there is no way I can get it down there until mid-may. I told Aldo May 17th and I already have a request in to take leave at that time. I apologize to everyone that this has taken so long, and will take even longer now, that's just how my schedule has worked out. If anyone can beat me down there by all means go ahead. As for right now as soon as oldsnut gets the money together and sends it to Aldo the project will start on the 17th of May.

[muflar]

If this is legit, i'm totally in put me down for the kit and the spoiler. i've been hunting for a osv bodykit for ages. When are you gathering the funds to do this certainly u'll need it before the 17th like sburke said. Question: are u going to find someone to do the exhaust? The 18" OSV rims can u purchase them and the Recaro seats?

[cavaliers60]

You can't really get the rims anywhere.... I know someone on here was selling the set from the red osv I believe, but I'm not sure what the outcome was with those. You can take your car in and do a custom exhaust at any shop that does custom exhaust work. Shouldn't be to hard to do.

[Oldsnut]

If this is legit, i'm totally in put me down for the kit and the spoiler. i've been hunting for a osv bodykit for ages. When are you gathering the funds to do this certainly u'll need it before the 17th like sburke said.
Yes it is legit, most of the guys involved in this have been around for a while.
Have you read all the details in the thread, not just skimmed? Do you have the money now?
There is a history of people committing to buys on Aleromod and then backing out. You only have one post on Aleromod so far which doesn't give us a good read on you.

When you respond back to this post, I'll add you to the list, and by the way welcome to Aleromod.

[BlackJack]

Maybe I have no business saying so, but if it were me, I'd take deposits and hold in escrow. Say, 50% of group buy price? Less likely to talk smack and back out then.

[sburke]

Of note to anyone who may not be sure if they want it now. Aldo said after the initial group buy the price basically doubles. So either find a way to do it now, or you'd really be shooting yourself in the foot. I don't know every single detail about that, but I'm sure oldsnut could explain better. You only get the good price when a lot are made at the same time, it's cheaper for the company, so they can pass the savings on to you.

[muflar]

Ok so I just did a quick 21 page read of this forum. Is it going to be 825, 600, or 650 with gas Money isn't a problem...and as far as paying a deposit I'm fine with that too. Are you still going to pool together for an exhaust tip?

[Oldsnut]

We have a few guys looking into it, but its' best to do it after the kit is made to get a perfect fit for the exhaust tip. A tip buy is the ultimate goal.

[muflar]

So do you need a contact number from me?

[pimpalero2003]

where u at in IN sir? id like to see the kit if u get it

[Oldsnut]

PM these kinds of questions pimp. Makes it much harder to read thru all the crap.

I will be asking for it with payment but if you want to send it to me now just do it in PM.

[pimpalero2003]

just a idea but why dont u start a new thread for people to say they sent a downpayment? easier to keep track and let a mod know any post that isnt saying sent deposit should be issued a infraction? also youll know whose dead serious about it and be sure to add paypal fees

Sweet thread. I' am up in N. Cali so donor for me is out if it's in S. Cali. As for the buy itself I' am afraid atm I' am fairly poor so I will be concentrating on making my payments and such for a while LOL. I do start a new job this month which will pay $1,000 more a month so I look forward to some mild modding in the future.

As a side note my dad was a bubble head so /salute Jose.
