it is still in the process of being worked on. Bodykits is waiting for an alero so they can see for they selfs the sideskirt issue then resolve it but they are waiting for alerosaint to stop over.
until then we have to be patient and after that is done then we should all of our questions answered, hopefully.

on a side note car looks good with the kit on
yeah, i agree. the kit makes the alero look good!!! everywhere i go people ask me what kind of car it is. and when i tell them its an alero they dont believe it. i guess it throws them off seeing an alero with a kit on it.

Ok whats going on Andy? This is getting ridiculous!
Where are our updates on this? I understand if you cant get the car there but you need to figure out a way to get another car there or work something out with Aldo because this is getting to be way to long. I want my money back from this kit because I'm sick of having the cash out there floating and have nothing to show for it yet.
This is your responsibility to get these kits fixed and I'm sick of waiting. If you cant get ahold of Aldo to get what you need then you need to have somebody else call

Ok, Marc you want your update here it is............................
Your Buddy Aldo who I talked to last week said the following that the rear bumper is our problem. If we want a new rear bumper, that they can not guarantee it is 100% fixed, we would have to pay shipping for our bumper back to them and then pay for shipping of the new bumper back out to us. They WILL NOT work with us on the rear bumper. because it does fit but poorly it is our problem. As for the side skirts when Alero saint gets his car there they will look at them and if they determine that they do not fit our cars they will send us out a new set of side skirts, no cost to us but if they feel they are fine and will work on the cars then it is our problem.
So if you want your money back, then contact your Buddy Aldo and see what answer you get. However remember this if you do get your money back but if someone else does not this causes a HUGE issue and this would ruin your reputation on aleromod.
As for getting a car there well Andy has worked on this and has found the closest aleromod member, but the member has had issues and has updated everyone on here. Now it is not Andy's fault the side skirts do not fit. this is your Buddy Aldo's problem. However you must remember that they have also dragged their feet on this whole project and to attack Andy on this taking so long when you have spoke to your Buddy Aldo about the OSV kit and know about the projects that has pushed the OSV project back is not fair but more of an attack.
Far as you not having your kit, i thought you sent it back or you never had it shipped so that is why you have nothing to show for your money. Your choice. You could have had it shipped and being a fiberglass expert you could have easily fixed the kit for your car.
Marc, just so you know actually Maureen and I both spoke with Aldo and tried to work things out professionally, while he was not rude, he didn't help us either on the rear bumper. He said they did fix the rear bumper mold but never test fit it on a car so he couldn't guarantee it was fixed but however he has 20 bumpers in stock. We tried to offer different options so we can work out some agreement on the rear bumper but Aldo said he couldn't do it. We would need to pay shipping both ways for a bumper that may not be fixed.

He lives in Washington State. Do you want to pay for him to go back down to LA? It's only 1600 mile each way. His Sub is also heading out shortly.
It really doesn't matter because when Alerosaint gets back from vacation he is bringing his car there. He got tha call that the engine is back in the car and running.

Now was that so hard :lol:
I don't mean to attack Andy on this, its just getting frustrating on the time line of this. I realize this falls on bodykits.org primarily but its now our responsibility to get a car there and alerosaint (which thank you for offering) it seems there is one problem after another and maybe we should start looking for another car? There has to be more than 1 alero in CA. Hell go to a rental place and rent an alero for a day.
Btw with getting money back, I wouldn't ask Aldo for it because it wouldnt be fair to anybody if I did. I was referring to selling the kit, since I could care less about putting it on my car really.
I gotta call Aldo tomorrow anyway so I'll ask him about the car rental thing. Its a faster alternative to get this done
Oldsnut
04-29-2009, 12:45 AM
Try explaining to a car rental company why Bodykits destroyed their side skirt and I don't think rental companies are using Aleros anymore as they are 5 years old. As I just posted Alersaints car is ready, he just needs to get back from vacation, a week is not going to make a difference. Do people not read what I just posted. Aldo made a comment about going to a junk yard and getting an Alero but hasn't made an attempt.
I understand that it is frustrating, it is for all of us. You could ask Aldo for your money back but he would tell you the same thing he has told others and that was NO!
I have a problem with them screwing this up royally and you expect us to bend over backwards to fix their problem.
I have repeatedly asked Aldo to have the owner call me and he just tells me the that he has passed on the messages. I find it funny that Cliff found an e-mail address for the owner and I have emailed him a few times and he finally responded to me today. Asking for a list of issues and he will try to work things out when he gets back to California on Tuesday.
I sent him a lovely letter tonight and asked Jose to do the same thing with his issues. I am done with Aldo. If I owned that company he would be long gone, he is bad for their business.

Good luck on that.
Im still waiting on my spoiler and exhaust since the day i picked up my car. And all Aldo tells me is "it'll be here tomorrow, i'll ship it to you then and call you with the details."
If i had the time and money to go to L.A i'd do it in a heart beat. most of my family is there and i would love to shove my boot up Aldo's @$$ for treating me like im stupid, plus try to get more done for you guys while i was there.

He has been waiting for his stock spoiler and the muffler that they cut off his car when he brought his car there. For 2 months they keep telling us they have it and will ship it tomorrow and tomorrow never comes.
Alerosaint called me this morning and said he will probably have his car down at Bodykits on Monday.

Thanks for the offer bro. thats not the point though. the point is that bodykits lost my parts which they shouldnt of lost to begin with.
then, they cut my muffler and tell me they will reinstall it coming out of the center. that never happened. instead, the lost it and left my original exhaust pipe right behind the rear bumper to the point that it got really hot to the point that if i would of poked it, i think the indention would of stayed. so i paid extra money to get the pipe routed to the center.
thats why i keep pushing the issue. i'll see what happens next.

We discussed this about 2 months ago on the phone. I warned you that if you did let them fit the rear to make them sign a contract stating all damages would be paid by them. They apparently have trouble following a signed contract though. In searching for info, Cliff found the LA BBB site that ranked them a C-, there were 13 complaints of which most were for not following contracts. Funny thing is when we researched them on the California site there were no complaints posted.
Watch them like a hawk and if you see something not right tell them to stop, it's not worth them screwing your car up also.

It is very possible that he canceled because the owner of Bodykits stated in an email to me that he would be back on Tuesday. Quite possibly the owner wants to see first hand what they screwed up in the first place and was never told by Aldo about it. I asked several times for him to call and was told by Aldo that he passed on the message, maybe he didn't.

Money back is not an option per Aldo. They are willing to work with us but on their terms. This is why we went around Aldo to get in touch with the owner of Bodykits. Aldo may only have realized we did this today.
Lawsuits are the last resort but it is doable.

It's good that they want to work with us, but it should really be on our terms since they messed it up... Hopefully you guys get this resolved soon.

I'm sure we all know that any kit is going to need a little work to get it to fit just right and whatnot.... That's not really the issue... From what I read, there are much bigger issues with fitment, getting wrong parts, the quality not being what it should be, and some other issues. That and the fact that they are having a lot of trouble with bodykits just trying to get these issues resolved.
I am interested to know if there was a contract or something that was signed about the kit. If a lawsuit ends up being filed though, there are a lot of things you can show that puts the ruling in your favor. They really have nothing to defend themselves other than we are mad at them. lol

These show original stock Skirts from 2 & 4 dr in which the OSV skirts easily fit inside them which they shouldn't.

great thanks...im gonna save these...so the things im gonna identify is:
1. they are too short
2. there is something about a notch?????
anything else need to be added to this what to look for list
Oldsnut
05-05-2009, 03:04 PM
The notch is where the door closes on a 2 door. Our stock skirts went straight across without a notch. For some dumb ass reason they put a notch on it.
It needs to be straight the entire lenght of the skirt to accomodate a 2 or 4 door.

UPDATE: I just talke to aldo, he did not send my kit to the fitting location...so in lieu of that and my being behind on my mid term paper, and behind studying for my finals friday....i told him lets do it Saturday...so now he extra time to get his shit together and I have to time to get mines too.....That is all
Are you sure he's gonna be there on Saturday? They dont work weekends. Im telling you this because that is what Aldo did to me 2 months ago. He said he would meet up with me on Saturday, I showed up, he didnt. Nor did he answer his phone when i called.
I dont know how your schedule is, but if you can show up friday after your final or so, i suggest you try. that way you wont run into the whole issue that he wont show up. just my advice bro.

Stellar install job. That was/is their idea of a professional install. And then they handed Jose the car in a torrential downpour instead of in the shop where he could look more closely at it.

hok your in the buy and you don't have to keep your mouth shut. I have been bitching about these effing rocker mouldings (side skirts) POS mother effer that won't fit my effing car. I have given even Andy an earful on the POS non fitting effing things.
:banghead:Well all I got to say is WTF... Aldo needs a hammer up his a$$ hardkore. Have you guys tried talking to the man that owns and runs the business? Basically we all paid up front and got shoved in a fxcking hole! I just want my damm kit before I get married (wedding date is set for september 20th kant wait) I want to ride off in the sunset with it on the ho I dont care if it's even painted I want it by the end of fxcking july at least. Aldo and who ever needs to put their balls where their pie holes are and own up. If I lived in california I would have had this shxt done the day before yesterday and then some.. :banghead::mad2:
Oh well, I refuse to ask for a refund like who ever it was that said they wanted one. I think you guys should hound Aldo enough that we actually get somewhere on this and have everything fixed especially the rear and the side skirts that stuff looks like shxt... I dont mind reshaping the shxt if I have to.. But I want the shxt done right!
Whats wrong with the front? Something about a sag?

I can't wait to hear about Jose's conversation today. Aldo twice has given Jose an incorrect or false UPS tracking number for the parts that he is owed. The second one was being delivered to a location about 10 minutes from Scots house. He sent me the link to verify it and it was definitely incorrect. Something tells me that they don't have his parts.

that doesn't surprise me on the $700. There is a lot of man hours in those side skirts. If they want that much for the side i bet they would want 1k-1.5k for the rear bumper,

Since they didnt bolt it down it had a lil pop out look to it....we took one of the clamps of and he pulled on it like it was bolted up and the area fitted tighter and smoother

the rear bumper, underneath the trunk lid still seems warped, or is that just me? To me the the rear bumper flowed well on my car, but like I said since it was not bolted up it pertruded a lil in couple places. When we did mock it up like it was bolt it looked smooth and lined up to me..also it was a lil wavy under the trunk lid but it also wasnt bolted down.....but compared to the others the warpage on my bumper was real minimal
this is the other area that bdyman and I had to heat up and reshape. Plus also if you adjust everything on the rear bumper mount points you can get rid of it after the heating.
Hyma did say that....he said you can heat it up to adjust how much you want the flare
One thing I did noticed was the rear bumper I had installed on my car was not as badly warped as some of the other bumpers seen, and Im not a bodykit professional but to me the rear I had fit well....there a lil things that can be done to make it perfect but for the most part it went on there well....i mean you guys seen the pics what do you think?

Based on what we were told by Aldo when he was asked by Scot on the phone he stated that everyone would receive a new set of sideskirts at NO additional charge. That should include also. Do not spend a dime on your kit untill we get it all resolved.
