as far as the fitment is concerned... it is fiberglass... so there will never be a completely "plug and play" install... from the stress fractures to the warp and flex, each kit will have to be fit to it's respective car. the side skirts are a bit short but it's not unheard of... both kits that i have installed i needed to physically cut the skirt in half and extend it... must be a common issue... i dunno. just work it out

I am sorry Bro, a side skirt that is short is totally unacceptable. The whole skirt is effed up. Yes glass kits are not plug and play but the skirts and rear bumper are a joke. God help the person that buys one off their site at full price that has no clue how bad it is.
The fact that they gave Jose his car like that is a crime. Installer should have been shot.

I just sent a huge email to bodykits letting them know how i feel about their product and what other people think. This is just effing ridiculous.....they had plenty of time to work on this to make it PERFECT yet there are still problems to be worked out. They said they offer high quality products at low prices......  The thing that pisses me off the most is that they dont come on here and respond to any of our posts concerning their half assed work.

Why do you want to piss them off even more Billy? We are trying to work things out with them at this time. If they tell us to go eff ourselves then fine.
Let us handle it for now, there are more details that you don't know about because your not part of the buy.
Put down the bottle and step away from the keyboard.

@ Billytheman, Your understandably angry, but E-Mailing them angrily is not going to solve anything, more so if you didn’t buy the kit, they will probably ignore the e-mail, or if they did read it and it is absurd, as in F bombs and the such, itl only make us all look bad. So please refrain from sending any more angry e-mails, let the people who have purchased the kit work it out, they probably know more about it than us who have not purchased said kit ^_^

No, it's not understandable. He didn't go through what everyone in the groupbuy did. If anyone at Bodykits ask about the person who sent the email, hopefully oldsnut can spin it and just say billy is like that "special" kid down the street we let hang out with us. There's certainly enough posts by him to back it up.

holy crap Billy, I am pissed of FOR these guys too, but I haven't said anything in this thread until just now....and it's not even to talk about the kit, cuz I don't have anything new to say. Billy, you definitely shouldn't be emailing a company to complain about a product that you aren't even in the market for. Plain and simple.

Billy, I know you want to be apart of the solution to this now but please dont! You emailing them and laughing about it just lumps the rest of us in the crap with you. I wouldn't trust your professional ability to handle a situation like this. Also knowing your business knowledge I'm almost afraid to see what that email said.

Email from Billy:
Hey! How come it didn't come painted blue?
--------------------------------------------
In all seriousness, I hope you guys can get what you need fixed. I am really looking forward to seeing a daily driver OSV Alero.

Well said. Keep out of it. Let them try to get the issue settled. We don't want another situation like we had with the forbidden kit. So far they seem to be willing to work out the issues with the guys in the group buy. Lets give them a chance to resolve the problems before we jump down their throat. Leave it to the people involved.

I wish you would shut your pie hole also. So basically you just called me and 14 others Stupid for going thru with something nobody else has succeeded at. Yes there are issues that we need to work out with them but the project is not a loss. Your "I told you so" comment was real mature and was going to ignore but thought it fitting to comment.

im entitled to my own opinion, if you dont like it get over it. and by the look of the pictures and the kit owner's responses, it still looks like nobody has been successful in doing this task that you alloted them almost a year with a donor car.

you are entitled to your own opinion, however when your pissing off other members, thats when it starts getting out of hand. we were successful in doing the kit. you can see it for yourself. the issues is a different story. if your gonna post something, make it useful or dont post on this thread. we are trying to resolve alot of issues to be dealing with your smart ass remarks.

Of course you are entitled to your opinion....this isn't a dictatorship.
But it just seems like you are making a huge fuss over something that you didn't invest your hard-earned cash in.

Oldnuts, dude I don't even know what to say man. While I'm personally not involved in the buy, I feel for those of you who are. I don't know whether to feel worse for you guys because this thing you wanted is so close, yet so far, or because a fellow amodder is potentially screwing it up for you by jumping in where he doesn't belong. I don't know what the correspondence between you and body kits has been like, but I have 10 years experience writing to government agencies trying to abate tax penalties and shit, I'm sure I could help you out if you need some sort of professional letter or something sent to them, but I gurandamntee I'm not doing anything like that without you asking me to do so.
Billy -
dude, this act makes the blue engine bay look smart, and I never thought I'd say that. This is just proof your mom should have swallowed you when she had the chance
