OSV bodykit Group Buy

[Oldsnut]

I just got a call back from the guys at bodykit and it sound like this is a go, it all depends on all of you! He would be willing to start with the 7 guys we have but would prefer a total of 10. We agreed that once the naysayers saw the kit they would love it and end up buying it in the future. The problem for those is that it would be $800-900 in the future just for the kit.

The biggest issue is the donor car if paulyb backs out as it is in California right now. I need to hear from him personally to work out details.

This is for a full fiberglass OSV bodykit and not a lipkit. the group buy price is $600. The spoiler kit would cost an additional $275. We can do one or both together. There will be only one and only style of the kit. This kit will look like the OSV kit, pictures have been sent and more are getting sent tomorrow. For a total of $875=shipping, you can own an OSV bodykit. These are custom made in California and not some cheap ass Japanese kits.

We will not own the rights to the kit as someone aske unless one of you guys wants to plop down $9200 to buy the rights to the kit and the molds. This does not bother me at all. If these guys can sell 100 of these kits to some of our guys I don't care, just means that they would be willing to make more stuff just upon our request.
Shipping costs will depend on where you live and should average between $80-$150 and is due at time of delivery.
Once the donor car is there and the money is collected it will be roughly 6-8 weeks for delivery.

To powerlifter: I emailed you and you did not respond or post so there is nothing more i can do at this point.

Below are the guys that committed to the group buy on the previous thread, if i missed someone let me know.

If you do not want the full kit or rear spoiler, do not crap up this thread!

full kit only ? i might want the front bumper

[Oldsnut]

full kit only ? i might want the front bumper
It's a group buy for the full kit only!! Thats why it is a group build a buy.

[[ion] C2]

how in the world can the OSV rear spoiler be bolt-on? it's a smooth piece blended into the trunk and rear quarter panels. unless we all get the spoiler then mold it.

[Oldsnut]

C2;321826']how in the world can the OSV rear spoiler be bolt-on? it's a smooth piece blended into the trunk and rear quarter panels. unless we all get the spoiler then mold it.
The green OSV was a bolt-on by the way. Those that buy it would have to mold it if they want to look like the red OSV.

Hre are some links form SikMindz that show a kit produced by this company.

[jackal2000]

so when does the money have to be in?

[nickbain]

I was under the impression that this wasn't going to happen untill after the holidays. If yall want it to go through before the holidays then I hate to say it but I'm out, but if it is still the origanal plan of after the holidays, ie, in January ( which is the impression that I got) then I'll still be in.

[nickbain]

full kit only ? i might want the front bumper

You only want the front? I might only want the rear. I'm not sure but I was going to get the whole thing and sell what I didn't want afterwards but if you only want the front then perhaps we can work something out?

[Oldsnut]

Before I start collecting any money from anyone, I still have to verify if paulyb is still donating his car for the mold. His car is in California right now but will be sending it back to the east coast by mid to end of February last I heard from him.

By the time this all gets put together it will be after Christms because I do have a life also but I don't want to wait to much after that. I do not plan on waiting til April or May as some have requested, I don't want us to risk losing the donor car.

[nickbain]

April or may would be better for me but january or febuary is still better than now and doable. Now if anyone wants to buy my snowmobile then it would be a lot easier :)

[SweetNLow]

id be interested as long as the kit wouldnt be crushed when i lower my car since its on bags.... if you understand what i mean.

basically i would need measurements as to how much clearance there is between the bottom of any of the lips to the ground

[Oldsnut]

Ion: here is a picture of the green OSV, if you look closely you can see it was a bolt on spoiler.

Yup, I understand Sweet.

Scot: chime in here if you have those measurements handy. I am asking them to create it at around stock height so those that have it bagged or want ot bag their cars can do so.

[[ion] C2]

i have all the pictures of the green OSV, can't really tell that it's bolt on, but whatev. i'm sticking with the AAS + Razzi wing.. probably

[Satsuriku]

Ok good to hear this might happen! looks like i got a couple of trips to the bank to make to consolidate some stuff and get some extra for this to happen. im going to TRY and shoot for the osv spoiler as well but im down for the kit for sure

[hok666]

When will it happen around tax time? I'm sure by then youll have the details worked out right? if so im in like I said I have the money to throw down:) so let me know seriously.

[joserivas19]

heres this other image that shows the spoiler a little bit better and it sure looks like a bolt on to me. http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l223/joserivas19/greenosv2.jpg

Does that mean you have the money to throw down now or in April? For the most part all of the details are worked out, its amatter of the donor car getting there and everyone gettin the money together.

If we could have the donor car there by mid january i would be a happy camper and start it then, if not we lose the donor car that was being used. There is just a tiny bit of coordinating going on here, can you see that.

[powerlifter812]

To Oldsnut: I appologize, I have not received an email from you. Would you mind re-sending it to: powerlifter812@hotmail.com? Thank you.

Thank You Jose for your offer!!!!
As a backup and not say it will work, Jose is trying to see if his superiors in the Navy will let him drive his car down to Corona CA. before he ships out to sea so we can use it as a donor if paulyb cannot do it.

[Satsuriku]

just a quick question if I may: with the bumper, will they be making it with the metal, half oval thing (i have no idea what the hell its called haha) or will we have to fabricate something ourselves and some how attach it?

[Oldsnut]

To Oldsnut: I appologize, I have not received an email from you. Would you mind re-sending it to: powerlifter812@hotmail.com? Thank you.

I cleaned up my emails yesterday because I rec/send so many for work, poor timing on my part. It was sent maybe 2 weeks ago basically saying that I don't want to step on anyones feet and cause them to lose money but this OSV kit thing has been going on way to long. I said that I highly recommend posting pictures of what progress you have made on the kit regardless of where it stood, just to show some progress on it. I also spoke to your new partner Marc on the phone last week and told him to forward the message to you. That was it basically.

It may have gone into your bulk email? I don't know.

[Mr_Reed]

If we can pay in Feb I'm in.

[Oldsnut]

just a quick question if I may: with the bumper, will they be making it with the metal, half oval thing (i have no idea what the hell its called haha) or will we have to fabricate something ourselves and some how attach it?
You will have to fabricate the exhaust tip yourself or wait to see if we can get a group buy on that from a metal fabricator. Oldsman and i spoke about this earlier tonight and agree it shouldn't be too difficult.

The cutout will be in the bumper for the exhaust tip.

[Gr1m]

throw me on the list definately for the full kit and spoiler.

[Satsuriku]

If we can find someone to fabricate it for those buying the kit, I dont see a problem with those forking out about an extra $20.00 or so for that "tip" lol though we already seen its not really a tip haha, im still puzzled on how it attaches to the rear bumper

[pawzbear]

dear lord.. is this really happening?? im seriously considering keeping this alero and fixing it up now.. with this kit as well.

QUESTION: what about us sedan peeps?!?!?!!? will it be made for us????

[DOHC_tuner]

wow this sounds real, okay oldsnut when do you need the money? I know now would be good but again I would prefer after the new years holidays.

It will work for coupe or sedan little lady.

If I have my way this will happen, wether it's our buy or powerlifters. But it doesn't rest on my shoulders, but the other members.

[Satsuriku]

wow this sounds real, okay oldsnut when do you need the money? I know now would be good but again I would prefer after the new years holidays.

just read back from the start of this thread and your question will be answered

Thank you Gr1m

[Oldsnut]

Im out of work now because im like the girl in the bubble.. i can get sick too easily with dire blood counts. So money is a bit of a problem for me. Im going to need to pay off my credit card charges after xmas.. hopefully i will be functional again before then. Best case scenario i will have the money by mid January. I hope thats ok.

I'll let everyone know when it will happen based on paulb being able to supply the donor car. If not, we have to go to our backup Jose if the Navy will let him drive down there. Everyone needs to keep their fingers crossed.

[hok666]

sounds good. And yes again I have 850.00 now and will have around 1500.00 or more by april to blow:D I also need to make another big order with PFYC sometime in the spring. But will not have any effect on the kit.

Don't forget to add $80-$150 shipping depending on where you live in the good Ol USA.

[Oldsman]

Yup, I understand Sweet.

Scot: chime in here if you have those measurements handy. I am asking them to create it at around stock height so those that have it bagged or want ot bag their cars can do so.

well the show OSV was dropped 1.5-2 inches and you have 5.5" to the ground on the front, about 5" on the side and 10" in the rear

[Satsuriku]

well the show OSV was dropped 1.5-2 inches and you have 5.5" to the ground on the front, about 5" on the side and 10" in the rear

ok so for those of us with already dropped ho's, the pic of the red and green osv are a good visual idea on how the cars are going to sit with the kits since the green one there already has the 1.5" - 2" drop that some of us already got

[Oldsman]

If we can find someone to fabricate it for those buying the kit, I dont see a problem with those forking out about an extra $20.00 or so for that "tip" lol though we already seen its not really a tip haha, im still puzzled on how it attaches to the rear bumper

it attaches to the impact bar in the rear. kinda like with a long L bracket.

[Satsuriku]

it attaches to the impact bar in the rear. kinda like with a long L bracket.

do you have a pic of that by any chance?

[Oldsman]

oph FYI on the exhaust cutouts...........these will have to wait to be produced until after the rear bumper is made that way the 2 items match. But i will check on a supplier. These tips probably be made out of sheetmetal if you want them cheap cause the cast alum orginal piece would be more costly to make.

[Oldsman]

do you have a pic of that by any chance?

yes i do

[Satsuriku]

cool, thanks alot dude! thats rather interesting how that was fabricated

looks like the metal is a bit thinker than your average sheet metal and if we want this to look as close to the original osv's then to avoid making it look goofy, better off with thinker metal, but that would have to be a mutual agreement with all of us on how that is made

[Oldsnut]

Thank you Scot for posting the measurements and pics to eliminate any confusion.

It works well having a guy that does machine work for a living.

[Satsuriku]

a custom job will have to be done to fit a muffler under there. i would have to put my car up on a hoist and take a good look to see how everything will run and a good place to put a muffler

Well, If you put large enough pipe on it and use a resonator (Moroso Spiral-Flow works well for me) it isn't too bad, personal taste i guess.

Once we get something worked out, I can see if i can get the tip(s) made by the guy who did the ones on the XLR (http://cliff_scott.home.comcast.net/~cliff_scott/XLR_Rear.jpg). I still have his business card.

My only reservation with getting this is what happens if something isn't right with it? Do they guarantee it? If they do, I'm in for the whole package. Both my bumpers need replacing anyways.

Wow ... I'm glad to see that there is progress being made on this. While I can not participate now because of lack of enough funds, I am happy that there are enough of you who can. Perhaps fortune will smile on me after the first of the year. I like each aspect of this kit including the rear lip on the trunk.

Only one way to Know, thats to ask.

[rowdygls]

I'm strongly interested in the spoiler only...due to the fact I already have a bodykit. If I can unload my AAS kit I may be interested in this as a replacement.

But I may have to put this on the back burner altogether due to a supercharger.

I'll keep you updated Andy.

[Gr1m]

haha i totally forgot about sedan/coupe, even if my sideskirts dont fit from the OSV on my sedan ill just sell them to someone on here.

but yet your wanting to get Gr1m's kit?
my kit is a POS haha, ill repair it to the best of my ability before i sell it though, just a few cracks nothing major shouldnt be as hard as glassing door panels lol

[Satsuriku]

haha i totally forgot about sedan/coupe, even if my sideskirts dont fit from the OSV on my sedan ill just sell them to someone on here.

apparently there should not be a problem, so you would not need to sell the osv sides lol

Just PM me if you decide to run with one or both of them Randy.

Will the S/C be on by the time ASS rolls around?

hehe whatever if this does really go through, ill have a full aas for sale for around $400

I believe the wife has given the OK for the spoiler, I'll double check tonight.

The S/C will be ready for this spring if I get all my gifts, and if I can twist Gregg's arm for a free weekend to help me install.

[SweetNLow]

just my own personal opinion....... but i wouldnt trust that powerlifter dude for shit....... how long has he been "working" on this?

atleast with marc....... well lost of people knew marc. this is some random dude.

i need new paint anyways.

one question, i dont wanna crap up the thread, but will this kit be available after yours are made??? so i can just call the place or email them and ask them to make me one? I saw u said it will cost like 900 if we dont buy now, but are they always going to have them available?

Thanks!

Depends on if someone buys the rights to the kit and the molds, if they do they can do whatever the want with them. They could sell more kits on the open market or crush the molds. The rights and molds would cost $9200. :eek: I could find better ways to spend that money, like on a Alero coupe purchase to place the kit on.

If nobody buys them, bodykits can keep selling them at a much higher price. They told me it would retail at $900 just for the kit, I didn't ask about the spoiler. If they have trouble selling them, they may discontinue the sale of the kit and destroy the molds.;)

I was talking with Scot last night and he brought up a valid point. If one of us has the kit and got into an accident, it would be nice to have a place to go for a replacement piece.

[hok666]

Don't forget to add $80-$150 shipping depending on where you live in the good Ol USA.

I am aware of the shipping and will add that to my stash. So what type of muffler or exhaust should we go with when we get the kit. That was a question that I forgot about before, but thats ok Im sure I could get a custom exhaust put on the 2dr ho when I find one:D Im currently not looking because I would need the money to buy a 2dr ho. Im still on the buy and just to confirm kit plus spoiler correct?

[black]

spoiler also please.

[hok666]

how do you think it would cost me to get the kit painted? or have of you help me?

[rowdygls]

how do you think it would cost me to get the kit painted? or have of you help me?

It'll take sanding, filling, materials and paint...depending on where you take it and their price per hour, how much time they put into it and various other factors it will depend. My bodykit cost me $1000 to get fitted and painted. It will be less the better the kit fits and quality these guys put into it.

If you don't know how to do exhaust, just have it done custom at a shop, but shop around for price. Unless you will have a long term use for a welder, it doesn't seem worth it financially to purchase one and would drive up your cost to put an exhaust on your ho.

[hok666]

I should have a mig welder by spring or summer. Im going to start a metal working business. I could even make the custom exhaust tips to. You got dimensions?

[Oldsnut]

I do not have the exact dimensions for them, Scot may have a picture of the OSV car tip with a measuring tape held up to it.
Scot and Cliff are looking into someone custom making the tips for the group.

I would wait to make one until you get the kit to make sure it is an exact fit. It would be good practice for you though.

[hok666]

That's fine I was going to wait:P Just figured you or whoever had dimensions. Who is scot and cliff? oldsman and crazytaxi?

well this really sucks but I gotta be out, I had a coolant leak in my truck so I replaced the Intake gasket, put it all back together and still leaked, tore it apart again and replaced head gaskets, put it together and today it dropped a buch of coolant in the oil, so looks like I'm looking at a new motor wich sucks. So unless my sled sells then I cannot afford both and I need my truck so I'll have to be off the list because I cannot count on the sled selling to get the money. If it does then I'll be back in but untill then I can't guarentee that I'll have the funds.

on on a somewhat better note, that mean's ill be the only canadian with this kit! WOOT! lol
Do you want the spoiler + the kit or just the kit?

[Satsuriku]

Do you want the spoiler + the kit or just the kit?

well since the shipping is already going to kill me for this kit, ill have to pass on the spoiler though i would like to have it

[zoL]

I should still be all good, and I'm in just for the kit. $275 for such a minimal difference spoiler doesn't seem that intriguing. :p

[Oldsman]

looks like the metal is a bit thinker than your average sheet metal and if we want this to look as close to the original osv's then to avoid making it look goofy, better off with thinker metal, but that would have to be a mutual agreement with all of us on how that is made

with sheetmetal the edges can be rolled to give the thicker look and still look good.

Now to have the originals copied we are looking at a lot. make mold for the 2 cast alum pieces, have the tips poured, machined, welded, polished.

i was told you would be looking at least $300 for the tips if not more.

however doing in sheetmetal and having them chromed would be a lot cheaper.

[JAkub]

what about just the spoiler???

[Oldsnut]

I don't see that this would be a problem for just the spoiler with bodykits. We need 10 to do the project and we are not there and he did't say they had to come from the same buyer. I would say no problem to get it.

Are you serious enough to add to list if it's a GO!

with sheetmetal the edges can be rolled to give the thicker look and still look good.

Now to have the originals copied we are looking at a lot. make mold for the 2 cast alum pieces, have the tips poured, machined, welded, polished.

i was told you would be looking at least $300 for the tips if not more.

however doing in sheetmetal and having them chromed would be a lot cheaper.

If you know a kid in a vocational high school taking 'machine shop,' you can get them for free. :D

[Oldsnut]

Marc and paulyb, where do you stand on the spoiler?

[BlackJack]

Where in california (city) is this company? If I get my shit running again after the latest mods, I may be able to be a "back-up" for the mold if the kit was available to me for a further discount than the group buy price. (I'm in Arizona....not that far from southern CA).

I'm not sure if you have the stock body on it right now. The body has to be a stock Alero.

Well since I am around the corner from Blackjack and my Alero is stock I will drive his car and use mine for the mold...I know it is a BIG sacrafice but I am willing to do it. Sweet 30 min drive is cut in half...what light officer????

I'm not sure if you have the stock body on it right now. The body has to be a stock Alero. well, the steel panels and hood are stock right now, but I have the AAS kit on it currently, but I still have the original bumpers and side-skirts if needed. There is no body damage either, so none of the dimensions are out of whack. Only problem is, I DON'T have the stock black plastic piece installed under the front bumper that helps to hold the shape of the original front bumper. I had to remove that for the intercooler radiator to go in.

What a team-player you are :) But keep in mind, the officer has to catch you to pull you over and question your driving skills.

[joserivas19]

it doesn't really matter who takes their car, as long as the kits get done. ive talked to oldsnut about it driving down there too. the important thing is taking a car to them so they can do the kits.

[Oldsnut]

if nothing else there was always my idea in previous thread everyone chip in 50 and someone buy a pos alero and send to them or someone in cali buyit
We'll get it covered, don't worry about it pimp. I've been PM'ing back and forth with people.

[Gr1m]

well this is gonna be the first and last time for the osv kit so I'd put everything else on the backburner and get this while you still have the option, im giving up my baer big brake kit for this lol

[hok666]

hmm... If this doesnt fall through. Im sure someone will make it eventually there is a demand for it, someone just needs to create a market for it.

[Satsuriku]

agreed Gr1m, hell, im willing to go a tad bit further in debt for this thing!! it'll be interesting come street wheelers time here, cause there are a few olds fans kicking around and im sure there will be a couple that will shit themselves once they relise what they just saw hahaha

[Oldsnut]

Im sure someone will make it eventually there is a demand for it, someone just needs to create a market for it.
Are you or anybody else willing to take that chance on waiting for someone else to do this? Like I said previously, I think the group we have compiled looks good and we still have a few guys waiting to decide. If everyone follows thru with what they say they would do, it will work. If not we have enough hot air to fill the Hindenberg, or for you younger guys that would be the Goodyear blimp. ;)

[Gr1m]

hmm... If this doesnt fall through. Im sure someone will make it eventually there is a demand for it, someone just needs to create a market for it.
the market for this kit is not large, or it would have been made already, we can barely get 10-15 people for this list, i dont see why you would go through all this trouble for 15 sales, just my opinion

[BlackJack]

duely noted. Keep in mind, final price will not determine desire for the kit. However, it will determine action on that desire.

[Oldsnut]

the market for this kit is not large, or it would have been made already, we can barely get 10-15 people for this list, i dont see why you would go through all this trouble for 15 sales, just my opinion
Someone has got to stand up and make an effort on here.
IMO, the only reason we get 10-15 people is because many take the attitude of, "I'll wait and see what it looks like." That's one of the main reasons why things never get done. The other is many on this forums age group and financial status. Many on this forum should not even be modding cars because they are one day from bankruptcy.

What you call trouble is what I call a challenge.

[Gr1m]

haha so true

[hok666]

Well all I have to say is that I'm in on the first buy.

[gregyoon]

Im interested as well however, i live in Canada and i was wondering if they would ship it and if they do ship it, how much would it cost me to pay custom??

let me know.

I have always wanted a body kit and i think this is a chance for me

btw, is carbonfiber strong enough to take the canadian winter weather???

please let me know

Depends where in Cannnnananada it is. You would also have to pay any tariffs or duties. It also is suppose to be paid in US$. You Canucks will obviously pay the highest shipping of the group which is paid at time of delivery.

These kits are not Carbon Fiber.

[Oldsnut]

Can any of the moderators get in touch with paulyb via e-mail? He has his e-mail blocked for access from aleromod. He doesn't come on here as frequently as some of us. I need to try and schedule for the donor car for this buy.

When I try to email him it say to contact a moderator for possible help.

[Oldsnut]

OK, I got a call back from bodykits tonight. They received the pictures that Scot e-mailed to them yesterday which is great! Here is an update on the kit.

For those that asked, the kit will be made of roughly 1/4" of hand laid fiberglass over most of the piece, it may vary in some areas due to curves or whatever.

The spoiler will NOT be a bolt-on as originally stated, this is due to my listening skills. :lol: It can be done in bolt on if we desire, but will be made to adhere with 3M Double sided adhesive(supplied) that is used by many of the major car companies. That is a relief, because I didn't want to drill holes in a car based on a template. Been there/done that with with one of my 442's, ughhh.

The guys at bodykits are ready to go on this kit, they love it. We still need to finalize a donor that can have their car in California to work on for about 6-7 weeks. I have still not heard back from paulyb as to his status and his email that is on record is no longer working, so if there is anyone else with an all stock Alero with no bumper or side skirt damage that wants to earn a free body kit, just let me know.

We can start this baby a movin as soon as we have a donor car in California.

[Gr1m]

great where are we going to get a donor car from..?

[Oldsnut]

Jose what have you heard from your commanders? Gr1m, not much I can do if they don't get back to me.

I think Jose will be our best bet, he's a military guy, (Submariner's who are among some of the best men on earth) it all depends on his commander letting him drive down to L.A. to deliver the car.

[Oldsnut]

great where are we going to get a donor car from..?
Do you know anybody in SoCal/So Arizona?

[Oldsnut]

how much do you think it will take to ship my ho over there? teehee. If worst comes to worst.. then.. well... hey. I dont need this thing. we have many other cars.

I want to sell it anyways =/////Why don't you call a shipping company, you have a lot of free time on your hands? You get a free kit however. $1K value with shipping for free, might be an enticement. ;)

[Oldsnut]

That's what I thought!! That is why we need somebody locally to donate the car.

[BlackJack]

I'm not out of the running yet, but it depends on timeline. I got some stuff that I'm waiting on to arrive before I have it up and running again, and that stuff won't get here until after the Christmas holidays. After that, I have to final tune, then we should be good.....how long is everyone willing to wait? And the car should be down for 6-7 weeks for fitting you say? I translate that to 8-10 weeks.

[Trickyslick]

Would love to use my car but as they say it is my daily driver. I have pleanty of friends and family in CA but no loaner car...I would love to have a reason to drive over to Cali and get in on this I will not have the chance again in my life...unless someone wants to buy a kidney or something...Hah Ha

[Silentalero]

mine is sitting in the garage if you guys figure a way to get it to ca

[Oldsnut]

its something though y dont you use your wifes car then youll have to osv kitted hoes?????
WTF are you talking about? My wife drives an Intrigue and I only own 1 Alero.

[dineshxl]

I have just came across this offer. I am interested in this. Does it matter if you own a 4 door alero?Is the kits side skirts being molded to fit the twodoor alero?

[Oldsnut]

It will work on both the coupe and sedan. They are the same length.

[nickbain]

Well I don't NEED my car, I could drive the truck around for a while once it's fixed but I'm up here in the great white north and I can't leave the country :(

[Oldsnut]

JoseRivas19 had offered his car as a backup donor car, he got the OK from his commander to drive his car from his base in Washington State to L.A.
He heads out to sea in his submarine(Go Navy)on Feb19th. His car received a little gouge in the rear bumper on Saturday, courtesy of some ass at a Walmart. I sent off pictures of the car to bodykits to see if that would get in the way, because it doesn't look to bad.

If they give it a good to go, I would like each guy in the group buy to donate $25 towards his gas and food for the journey from Wash St. to L.A. I think it's only fair.

He would bring it down there around Feb 15th.

Below is a pics of Jose's car with the damage.

are they gonna do the exhaust on the side or they gonna stick with the original desing in the middle? will my exhaust be a problem or will they adjust it as well?

[Steven01]

I says that it will be LIKE THE OSV. And you will have to create your own exhust tip to have it im the middle. thier going to carve it just like the OSV. Period .....

[Oldsman]

just to prove that sedan rocker moulding (side skirt) will fit on a coupe and newer rocker mouldings (side skirt) will fit on a 99 here....................

Crazytaxi's rocker moulding (side skirt) 2001 4dr on my 99 2dr

[Oldsnut]

are they gonna do the exhaust on the side or they gonna stick with the original desing in the middle? will my exhaust be a problem or will they adjust it as well?
They are doing it exactly like the OSV, in the middle. They will not be doing any work on your exhaust.

[Oldsman]

are they gonna do the exhaust on the side or they gonna stick with the original desing in the middle? will my exhaust be a problem or will they adjust it as well?

this will a replica basically an exact of the OSV kit and after we get a bumper we are going to have tips made. but need bumper first.

if anyone has SLP, camaro style muffler, or C5 type mufflers the tips will need to be redone but that is it.

[Oldsman]

yeah and i had a bad idea olds :)
but heres a question you know how are front bumpers warp????? what about that ?

i'm sure they will do their best to not have it.

[joserivas19]

oh ok. my concern was since the exhaust is sticking out, i really dont mind if the cut it to make the kit fit. im gonna change the exhaust after i return anyways, im tired of how it sounds. and with a new born on the way, i think it'll scare the baby (specially if its asleep). it sounded nice at first, but now two years later, it sounds like crap.

[Oldsnut]

I just got an email back from bodykits, the damage to Jose's car will not be an issue.

Unless someone closer to L.A. steps up with a donor car, it looks like his car will be down in L.A. on Feb 15th.

Corrected for ya nick.

[nickbain]

lol indeed.

[BlackJack]

well, I don't have any exhaust issues since I have a 3" straight pipe that stops just before the rear crossmember....only issue I have is just getting my current performance project finished in time.

Oh yeah, may sound selfish, but I'm only in on the deal if the kit is free for me. I'm too far into it the other way to buy a kit on top of all the performance stuff I still have on the agenda.

But thanks for considering me anyways :D

oh yeah, is how much the car is raised/lowered a problem? I'm raised in the back and lowered in the front for traction/weight placement.

Your bodykit would be free. Waiting to see if spoiler would be free also.

Is your body fully stock? No mods no anything. It must be with stock bumpers or they will not work on the car. Your car being raised lowered shouldn't be a problem, but it would make things more difficult for them.

They said that the kit would probably be about 2" below stock height.

[BlackJack]

I still have the original body parts, easy to swap back on in about an hour tops.

No permanent body mods.

As far as the suspension, the front is lowered by clamps, rear is raised with spring-blocks. Both easy to remove, or lower the rear to match. Either way.

[Oldsnut]

Once you would have everything back in place, when would be good for you to have your car in Corona CA.?

On a side note BJ: I will be in your neck of the woods in mid January, we should hook up. I'm there for a family re-union and am trying to get a half day to myself.

[BlackJack]

dunno, all depends on arrival date of the parts (no sooner than 5jan arrival), then how long it takes to get everything installed, then set up and tuned.

If you're in a big hurry and need it in January for certain, I'd get someone else on rapid standby status. Better yet, I'll try and be the stand-by and get someone else to commit to a date.

PM me with the dates you're going to be in "my neck of the woods" and where.

[Oldsnut]

Just for grins I looked into what it would cost to transport a car via Intercity Lines which specializes in car transportation. Here is what they sent me this morning.

I knew it wouldn't be cheap but I almost crapped my drawers when I saw this. :eek:
And that is one way.

I'll take the whole package... I guess if there's some issue with it, that's why i have the purchase protection on my AMEX.

[StoopidAlero]

I just thought I would throw this out there.. I have another vehicle and I would possibly be willing to donate my alero for this. I have friends that live in Ventura that I havent seen since college. Might be worth the trip. Olds.. PM me when you get a chance.

[Oldsnut]

Alrighty, it looks like we have the donor car set up now. Thanks to those who offered their vehicles on this group buy.

The donor car at this point will be StoopidAlero who lives in St. Louis area. The drive is 1600 miles from what I calculated, or 3200 round trip for those that lack the math skills.;)

He will have the car out in L.A. the 3rd week of January. I would ask every member that bought the full body kit to donate $50 towards his gas and food for the drive out their and back. If you want to give more that is fine because that is what I will be doing. We are doing this as a group and must share in the costs to get it done. I will work out the collection of the additional $$ for gas after Christmas. I will see if bodykits can collect the money and have the cash waiting for him in L.A., that way I don't have to touch anything. If not, I will handle it. On a side note, they normally want $675 for a group buy on a kit, we negotiated a $600 price so the extra $50 is not really that bad of an add-on.

I spoke with bodykits yesterday and they will handle the $$ collection for the kits and spoilers. So as Cliff stated it would be wise to use a credit card that has buyer protection. If there are any issues with anything, we've got our butts covered.

I ask that all involved in the buy PM me your shipping address and what you are ordering so I may verify info that bodykits is being given to make sure there are no mistakes in production or shipping. I will not be responsible for your mistake. For the guys in the Chicago area, they said we can save some money on shipping if it is to a business vs residence. We also could put 2 kits into 1 shipment for convenience and savings. In St. Louis, there are 2 guys. One is StoopidAlero and the other remains anonymous by choice. On the drive back, I thought StoopidAlero could throw his bodykit in the car and drive it back and deliver it or him pic up depending on how close they live. He would save on shipping and could throw some of it back to StoopidAlero for his troubles. Just a thought. Let me know what you think guys

If you have any questions post on the thread.

haha.. Well I sent an email to bodykits asking what the best way would be to get from LAX to Corona. Im thinking if cabs go out that far, thats the easiest way. Its just going to cost an arm and a leg. The plan right now is to fly back home, and then fly back out whenever they are finished. Flights are looking to be about 240 one way. (me and the lady will be making the trip) And we are figuring driving about 12plus hours the first leg. Stopping to sleep somewhere around texas. Then finishing up the trip to Corona. Possibly stayin a night in town and catching a flight back home the following morning. If all goes according to plan, the journey would begin on a wed. Hopefully arriving sometime Saturday. If anyone has some flight info please PM me. I have only flown once. It was into Newark when I went to NYC. I think if i can handle that monstraucity I can handle LA.

My wife works for a travel company, she can check all info for you but cannot book anything for you, she is only in the training dept. She does all of my travel research for my job. We just need exact dates and such.

[StoopidAlero]

Ahhhhhhh the conviences of networking. Perhaps I could get lucky with a standby?

[Cliff8928]

Probably just reserve a Limo, sometimes it's even cheaper than a cab. A cab would go that far though.

[Oldsnut]

Limo would be a better choice over cab. I'll ask if they could have one of their guys bring you and the g/f to LAX.

[joserivas19]

hey StoopidAlero, why dont you fly out of the ontario international airport? its only like 22 mins from corona. or 20 miles to be exact. and its a straight shot to the airport. just find interstate 15 and head north. then get on I-10 west and follow the signs. its not too bad. thats my suggestion. i know all that area, so thats my advice because to LAX its an hour drive, without traffic. keep us updated bro.

[StoopidAlero]

How can I find out if Ontario flys out to St.louis?

[Oldsnut]

How can I find out if Ontario flys out to St.louis?
Southwest flys out of Ontario airport to St. Louis everyday. Departure time vary by day and the is at least one stop on each flight. Looks like it is about a 7 hour journey. Can't do much without exact dates.

Go on to southwest.com

[joserivas19]

you can try http://www.travelocity.com heres the codes for ontario (ont) and st louis is (stl). right now they're around $220.00 not too bad.

[sburke]

Oldsnut, PM me with payment details, if payment can wait until Feb I'm definately in for the bodykit, probably not the spoiler though.

holyyy shit its goin downnn, did they happen to give a specific date as too when it would likely be finished?? the skirts would fit both 2 and 4 doors right???
I should be posting final info in less than a week. Do you want in?????

Anyone else want in!!!

[MixtapeMessiah]

I just moved into to my new place and its pretty bare so Im gonna have to pass on this one for atleast a few months, I would love to hell yea I want the OSV kit but shit, I gotta wait. As long as everything goes as planned, theyll have a mold available so the rest of us that cant get it right at this time can still get it later on right? or are they gonna destroy the mold after this group buy??

[Oldsnut]

To destroy the mold would be stupidity on their part. Price will be much higher after the fact though. Can't say what they will do with the molds if they aren't able to sell any more kits.

I know theres got to be plenty of us that would buy the kit later on, Im just waitin on that income check and I can get it then

dood i post the info and a pic in post #142. maybe you read everything rather skimming.

[paulyb]

lol im still figuring out were imgoing to send it to....i cant wait, god thing my lazy ass posted somthing, thanks guys for all the work that went into this to make it happen............

[Oldsnut]

We are almost a go on this. I just need to hear back from Stoopidalero.

[paulyb]

do we have a set date when it has to be there yet, just in case?

[Oldsnut]

do we have a set date when it has to be there yet, just in case?
Just in case what?

[Oldsnut]

Can everyone have their funds called into bodykits by Jan 25th? We need to have everyone paid up so Stoopidalero can get out L.A. He needs at least 2 weeks notice before the trip. Remember an additional $50 was tacked on the kit price for his gas. Post back on here whether that is good or not.

Do not call them until I post up the info!!!

[Silentalero]

So whats the total cost now? Btw is there a guarantee for a refund if this doesnt go through?

Are we calling bodykits.org directly or having it go through you?

[Oldsnut]

For you it would be a total $925 + COD shipping. You would have to call them directly with your order. Full instructions will follow in a few days once I know if this time frame works for most.

I don't want to touch a dime of this money as I am not the one selling the kit.

[hok666]

so the entire kit will sell for more than 925.00 after our group buy? how much will we be saving? This is an important issue I think.

[Oldsnut]

Yes it will retail much higher than that, I don't know the exact amount because I am not the mfr, my best guess at this point would be 1250-1400 + shipping for the kit and spoiler combo. It also could be much higher than that, they are a business and must recover investment somehow. They are not doing this as a charity.
I know you understood this based on the PM's back and forth, so now why all the confusion?

Sounds good to me....

[rowdygls]

That should work for me as well.

[tnalero99]

I am good on everything and ready for this to become a reality.

[paulyb]

works for me, so the final price for the kit is 650.........im syked. so thisis a definite cause i dont want pay them and have this fall threw

[StoopidAlero]

Once everyone agrees on a date that the money will be funded to Bodykits.org, then I can let my work know that 2 weeks from that date I will need off. And powerlift.. We are just going to have to trust bodykits.org. Seeing that they are going to have my car for 2 months, Im hoping that once removed from the molds, they test fit and test fit again to insure proper fitment

[Oldsnut]

what i mean is the company is a go, the car is a go.............
Everything is a go, we just need to make sure that everyone is on board with the timeframe and gets the money in before Stoopid leaves for California.

Based on what I saw of that Malibu Kit, they did a great job.

[Oldsnut]

Of these guys, who wants the body kit + spoiler?
Oldsnut-------Yes
Oldsman------Yes
Silentalero----Yes
Satsuriku-----NO
Zol------------NO
Tnalero99----Yes

2.2l Monster

StoopidAlero is the donor car

Hok666 just backed out. He chose today to read the details of the buy. Plz make sure you have read the details, I don't know how much easier they could be.

[2.2l Monster]

Iam in for the spoiler so let me know when I need to pay.

[Oldsnut]

I just heard from Jose tonight. He is still in on the buy! Thanks for getting back to me.

Jose has to head out to sea in a few days, roughly 1.5 months ahead of schedule and for reasons we can't post. Good Luck Jose!

[tnalero99]

I am definitely still in for both and have money ready to send once plans are posted. Thanks Andy for all your work keeping this going.

[joserivas19]

thanks oldsnut. i hope everything goes well for me, as well as the bodykit buy. hopefully when i return i'll find my kit in the garage waiting for me. i'll talk to you guys im a few months. take care buddies.

[StoopidAlero]

take it easy jose.. lol drop your car off on your way..

Im still needing to run this by my employer.. but as soon as we have an estimated date.. I will check immediately with work and post if I can go or not. Everyone keeps their fingers crossed.. I just got a new job.. Im hoping that if i give them a heads up that I will be departing for a short period.. that they will understand.

[StoopidAlero]

Just got a call from my new job.. Im going in for a training meeting on tuesday.. I will let everyone know what the scoop is tuesday night or wednesday.

[black]

still in.
i have a body shop all ready to get the body kit on and throw paint on it.

[AleroGX04]

alright, so is this body kit available for 4 dooors as well? If so, is it still 650? let me know, i may possibly be interested.

[nickbain]

It's been said quite a bit but ya it'll fit a 4 door, the side skirts are the same as a 2 door. It will fit ALL body style Aleros

Hi just joined this site like a day ago and noticed this thread about the OSV bodykit wondering if it would be to late to get involved in this or what the dal is about the whole thing???

Welcome and read the this thread for all the basic info. It is not to late, but we have to work out some details.

And there is more info at this original thread which is closed now.

im heading over to the bank tomorrow to see what i can work out with a consolidation loan of some kind. dont want to say too much about it, but if i get it, ill be on board for sure and if not, well im going to try and work it out somehow cause i dont want to miss this damn kit and being the only canadian with one

[Oldsnut]

:(
Well I’ll just cut to the chase! Stoopidalero has just had to back out as the donor car for our buy. His new employer will not give him the time off. Yes it sucks but there is nothing he can do about it. I found this out yesterday but have been researching other options before letting you know.

Paulyb now that your back on the forum, if you want to still be the donor let me know ASAP!!

Jose Rivas is already out to sea, but has already made arrangements for payment with bodykits if this ever goes thru.

I had a pretty good backup plan started when he posted about his new job. I have to be in the San Francisco area for company meetings starting on Feb 3rd. I would have driven out to LA dropped off my Alero and then I could catch a shuttle flight to Sacramento to attend a week of meetings at the winery. I had all the details worked out just in case.

Bodykits finally returned my call today. I told him our situation and that I might drive out there and deliver it myself. I explained that my Alero was not the intended car for the kit I was ordering on the buy. I asked him about the process they use to make the molds and kit. It was then that I knew I could not be the donor car. Nobody is drilling holes into my Final 500 bumpers.

I am trying to locate junkyards in the LA area to see if they have any Aleros that might have a blown engines etc. with intact front and rear bumpers and possibly rent the car from them for 6 weeks and then have them deliver it and take it away once they have taken off the OSV kit.

That actually sounds like a very good idea. Although, it might be hard to find an Alero there where the body is in really good shape so Bodykits can properly fit the osv kit to our cars.... Just an idea... don't know if this would work, but maybe you could ask them if someone they know has an Alero over there that would be interested in the bodykit and donate their car for us...... Wouldn't hurt to ask.

[Oldsnut]

Asked a long time ago.

[cavaliers60]

I figured you would have asked them, but I wanted to check. Hopefully everything works out.

[BlackJack]

ya know, that whole scenario is unfortunate, but here's the part of that whole thing that bothered me the most:
Bodykits finally returned my call today.

[Oldsnut]

The guy took a couple of days off, don't read to much into it BJ.

[cherrington17]

so.. we really have no members on the west coast? :huh: or just none that are interested?

[paulyb]

Olds tell me when the car needs to be there so I can make the shipping arrangments.

[black]

paulyb to the rescue!!!

[Silentalero]

or if anybody wants to drive mine over, the offer still stands

[YALEROYNOT]

my car would be there if i wasn't on the other side of the country. Im not going back to work till april. Im not aloud to drive till feb so i don't need it. hope it works out. money wise i can't get in on the deal but im excited for it to happen.

[Trickyslick]

I would love to do it I just dont have any other mode of transportation...I am in AZ and only 7 hours to Los Angelos.

[doubleN0alero]

If you all pay for the flight, i'll fly from clt to chicago, drive marcs car out and then fly back...no big...but I'm not paying for the flight. I'll even just sleep in the car or not at all...and I'll buy my own food.

[black]

please get an idea of the cost of the flight.

i thought we were going to throw about $20-$50/ea towards cost for the person
that was going to do this anyway...

i have no problem with helping to offset the cost.

[paulyb]

However the group decides, all i know is i want to make sure were all paid up and the arrangments with bodykits.org is made, the last thing i want is to ship my car there and have it fall threw, exspecialy since its being shipped both ways.

[Oldsman]

dood Marc's car had issues driving to Lansing i wouldn't trust it to drive to Cali.

You could drive mine to Cali..........if your body could take it.

[StoopidAlero]

Yea, flights from ontario CA to St.louis are 199 one way with tax and fees. Gas, food, and lodging to get to cali from st.louis is approx. 450. I'm terribly sorry I can't be the donor car. Hopefully everyone understands that this job is financial security for me and this is my career. Again, very sorry. Brandon

Where exactly is the car in California right now.

Marcs car has all that whatever all over the front, it needs to be a stock bumper.


:lol: To drive Scots car 1/2 way across country would be considered cruel and in humane punishment. By the time they finished the journey, their spine would probably compressed 2-3 inches from his suspension.

yea im 100% sure, sorry family issues tend to go before forum searching and my car.

Right now its in Mendocino, so im going to have to find a shipper to send it to l.a. thats why i need a date.

that issue is fixed, it was a loose ground from when i took the amp out and it was connected to the fuse box. All is good on the car now.


and btw my bumper can go back to stock within a matter of 2 hours :)

[Oldsnut]

I am still waiting to hear fro Zol and Satsuriku on where they stand. Everyone else is 100% GO if we can get paulb's car down there. Keep the fingers crossed everyone.

Doesn't Oldsman have an extra set of bumpers? (bdyman's originals?)

[Oldsnut]

Doesn't Oldsman have an extra set of bumpers? (bdyman's originals?)I believe Chris is using them again so he can finish his car and sell it.
