Grand Am Sc/t Concept

[scArLERO]

first I'd like to ask a Moderator if this can be made a STICKY, thanks!

ok, now that I got your attention what I want to know is...

How many people would be interested in buying this EXACT same spoiler that came from the GA SC/T CONCEPT!!!?

This is not the same as the regular SC/T spoiler, it's longer and sits a little higher of the trunk, but not stupid high!

I won the auction for the original and have found a place that is willing to make a mold from it and produce this for us, (actually for you guys :P ).
They said they would like to have around a dozen buyers (or more of course).
The mold would take about a day to make and they can produce them at a rate of approx. 5 a day, so it wouldn't take long to make a bunch.
I'm not sure exactly what the cost would be, but before I get too involved with this I'd like to get some feedback as to who would be serious in buying one...
(if the price is right, of course!)
Once I receive the spoiler I'm gonna bring it to them so they can see it in person and give me a price estimate (expecting it next week,hopefully)

If any one is serious/interested about getting one reply here or PM me.

If you have any questions I'll try to answer as best I can.
peace

read the post, they have to make a mold of it to make replicas, thats why he is asking about a group buy.


then YES you can buy one.

[pawzbear]

oh, sorry, i just wanted to see pretty pictures, so i skipped the text part =/
lol
anyways, i would be interested..if under 300 bucks. Im not made of money, ya kno =-P This is good timing, my parents were getting me a spoiler for my b-day, so they could chip in to help me get this one if its more pricey than the razzi i had my eyes on.

Would it fit into the holes used to mount the stock spoiler?

I haven't actually received the spoiler yet, but as soon as I do that will be the first thing I'm gonna check.

[MikeSS]

LOL, I always thought due to yourname you shoulda been from scarborough, then I was just reading your sig and noticed you live in Scarborough. I'm from Markham, now in Toronto.

You ever hear of grandsontario? Its a site dedicated to grand ams and grand prixs (and their twins) and we meet at Kennedy Commons Tim Hortons every weds and fri.

Anyway, I posted this potential group buy there, and since there would be no shipping, I bet you could get a lot of local people interested off of that site.

[trudgy]

i'd be very very interested, let me know all the details when you get them , thanks!!!

^^^RESPECT^^^
Thanks alot , I actually forgot about that site.
Ya, any one local wanting to buy will save on the shipping, heck I'll even deliver to Scarborough and surrounding areas :)

[smlzalero]

I'd be interested (pending price, of course) if and only if the posts that mount to the trunk are finished and not that retarded black plastic.

[cobra621]

^^^Agreed... I would also be interested in this spoiler, but I'd like to know if it would mount in the stock holes, too. That would be a major plus!

[smlzalero]

^ I've been lookin around for rear shots of a stock alero spoiler, but it looks to me that they are not in the same angle.

lol... from what I can tell from pics is you could probaly make this use your existing holes if you just move the mounts...that being said, when they are reproduced I will make sure they dont attach the mounts to them and you could put the mounts in place so you can use your existing holes.
Also on grandamgt.com they would like to be able to get the same mounts as the use now (like on the orange one 2003) if this is something you would like aswell, I will ask the guy if he could make them too. He does amazing work, wish I had pics of his truck to show what this guy can do without molds, I'll try and get some tomorrow.

I have this posted on other sites aswell so if I get enough people together for them to start reproducing them, I will let you know along with a price and any custom work on mounts.

I'm out, gotta get some ZZZzzz...'s workin the graveyard shift
peace!

[smlzalero]

If the mounting posts are solid, finished rather than looking like park-bench mounts, then I'm interested in knowing the price for the project.

:P plastic, metal, cardboard.. whatever, lol.

[Chucklez05]

I'm definatly in as long as the price isn't to high, and if we can get better mounts and the factory holes could be use that would be a huge plus!

[scArLERO]

I said the same when I seen pics on ebay just made it look cheap
I'm sure we could do something about the mounts...I would like to change them aswell, I'll have to see what they say about custom made mounts shouldn't be to hard for this guy.
I have seen his truck the entire dump/bed is fiberglassed like a hottub with lights molded in it and other little details and his cab is completely done aswell PS2, monitor, air ride controls, gauges...I'm a have to get pics, words just cant describe the work and craftmanship he put into this, all himself... he's sic' wit it!!

[SikMindz]

Doh! It was you who outbidded me for the spoiler! LoL

I was actually going to do the same for the GA crew...I have a custom carbon fiber spoiler (that mounts to the stock holes!) for my car, so I didn't need it anyways. Congrats on the purchase and it's great to know that there are still guys out there willing to help the N-Body community!

Ya it was me, thanks. I'm a try and help out who ever is interested in getting one of these spoilers and maybe I can get other things made for us and them(grandams) aswell. I'm gonna have him make me a few custom things and I'll post them here and grandamgt.com to get reaction for them. stay tuned!

[SlickSketcher]

i am also very interested in a new spoiler. but like most other people, i would want it to be able to fit the original mounting holes. as long as it isn't outrageously priced, then i'm in.

[AftermathAlero]

yea ur gonna have re-do the spoiler mounts. That mount will not match up to stock holes. I just welded mine up recently and I can tell ya the holes aren't that far apart on the stock location.

I have seen his truck the entire dump/bed is fiberglassed like a hottub with lights molded in it and other little details and his cab is completely done aswell PS2, monitor, air ride controls, gauges...I'm a have to get pics, words just cant describe the work and craftmanship he put into this, all himself... he's sic' wit it!!

Yea lots of people do that to their trucks, if u goto minitrucking shows.. almost 80% of the trucks out there has their bed welded up, molded in LED BAR light (same one i got on my alero), air ride .. the whole nine yards.

[Psi]

GIMMY GIMMY GIMMY.

If the person that's making this for you needs a GA to test fit this, I'm in.

And Sik, I'm sure you could always buy one and get it modded down south there :)

[pawzbear]

i kinda like the mounts, how they look. However i would ask Ed (our body shop guy) to paint them, too. I wouldnt leave it unfinished, it looks ricey. Dont have them changed..plz?

[scArLERO]

I'm going to see if they can make these mounts and mounts for the grand am ppl. The mounts seem to be the thing ppl would like changed, or improved on the looks, myself included. They would look a lot better if they didnt look so faded & worn in the pics, I'll probably colour match mine.
It seems to be getting some interest aslong as the price is reasonable (of course), I hope to have a price next week when I can bring the spoiler to them. Hopefully it isn't outrageous.

*edit* this is posted on 2 other websites aswell www.grandamgt.com & www.grandsontario.com, it's getting quite a bit of interest over on those sites too!

peace!

[scArLERO]

Ok, I talked to Tim (the guy who will be making these) this morning after work, and I mentioned the issue with the mounts and basically he said...
he will 'PROBABLY' (not definately) make only one mold which will have the mounts directly attached to the spoiler, sorta like the original sc/t mounts, (won't be exact but as close as he can), remember he has not actually seen this spoiler yet so NOTHING IS FINAL...
he said it will look more clean as one entire piece than having seperate mounts, and it will cost less this way.
He would have to make 3 molds for to have seperate mounts instead of just 1 mold with mounts attached and of course cost starts to rise too...
so I think IF this goes ahead it will be the spoiler with the mounts molded on, less cost. (Sorry Pawzbear, I know you said you kinda like 'em)
PRICE is still NOT available untill he actually has the spoiler in hand and can see the mounts and size of it etc... + I didn't even ask him this morning.
as I said before, once he has the spoiler then I should know all the info...

hang tight, wont be long...I only won the auction Sunday nite(Aug.14) :heh:

[slowandlow]

i will be in ifi can mount on stock holes and price is good.

[scArLERO]

I just received my spoiler via UPS, and will be dropping it off (to Tim) either tomorrow or monday morning. I should then be able to give an estimate on cost to produce these for those that want'em.
I haven't done a mock fiting or anything because there's a torentous(sp) rain storm rite now. I did run out and take a quick, (not accurate tho), measurement of my mounts on my car (99ALERO), they are around 34in. - 35in apart. The mounts on the SC/T spoiler are approx. 34in (fr) 35in (rear). :biggrin:
To me they look like they will fit the stock mounts on the Alero, I'll get a better idea tomorrow when I take off my old stock spoiler.

A couple people have asked about CF and I'll ask him if it's possible when I drop it off.

peace!

[pawzbear]

Thats ok about the mounts, it wasnt a huge deal to me anyways. less cost sounds good to me!! =-P

[cobra621]

I'm definitely in if price is decent, and it mounts in stock location. Thanks!

[SikMindz]

I might be in if you can get it in CF!

GrandAmGT.com- 19 ppl 'interested'
AleroMod.com- 8 ppl 'interested'
ToTaL 32 ppl 'interested
I really didnt expect this much interest, looks like Tim might be busy for a while...lol

Interested and having to pay up money to pay for it (as in a deposit if you asked for it today, I'd bet like 60% of the peeps will pay, then the others will have excuses like they want to see the product first before they payup or something). Like all group buys.. Hopefully everyone will pay up or pay half deposit. And this one works out. It should. Its only a reproduction of a spoiler. Not like a body kit cost. So i think it'll be a successful group buy.

[Chucklez05]

I agree with you on that one aftermath, usually only half to maybe a few more are willing to pay up right away, hopefully this goes well and most people don't make excuses.

lol...I already thought about the 'dropouts', seen that happen before...
to be honest it wouldn't bother me if no wanted one :P I already have it :lol:

[slowandlow]

i realey like this. my bigest thing is i cant get a good price to fill in the holes to mount a different wing. i dont mind paying a extra 20 to get it to mount up to stock holes.

you may not have to worry about filling in your holes, I think the new mounts will be big enough to cover your old holes... you may be able to use 1 of the holes on each side and just have to drill two more (one on each side), not quite sure on this tho.

[slowandlow]

if we do cf can i get blue to match my hood?

[cannaert]

maybe i missed it but what is the ruff guess on the price on this. I just got the SC/T offered on the car and now i want this one. I want this damn thing bad. I will not back out even thought i have some money problems

[scArLERO]

Ok, I finally got a price from Tim, and it will be $325.00 Canadian, around $275.00U.S. shipping not included. and this is with the mounts off so you can mount it to your factory holes :biggrin: . I Will get a shipping price for any one if they would like, just PM your info.
He won't be able to even start this for at least another 2 wks :( , and he's not sure how many he could do a day now, (before he was figuring around five a day). He works by himself now, he's trying to get find somebody w/exp. Gut feeling is they wont be produced at 5 a day :Noooo:

Once I told him there are 32 ppl that want a price and are interested he seemed a little hesitant about doing it, but in the end he said he would :) . He doesn't really know how long it will take him, cause he is busy with some custom molds he's building aswell, but said he'll do it none the less.

So now the million dollar question is... Who still wants one?

I'll will update when Tim starts, if this still goes through.

[Chucklez05]

Well I don't have an extra 275 right not but i should in a week or so so i will pm you then to see if i can still get on the list to get one.

[slowandlow]

could we get this in cf
and i am in i will pm you later
