Default Body Kits

Hey guys i like your site, found a link to it off of someones page on car domain. Anyways im sure this question has been talked about here however i dont have a ton of time to be searching around, we are a custom shop in Pontiac Michigan, i have a 97 bonneville se in here right now that were doing some work to, custom mirrors, sound system, some leather work, and custom diamond plate dash board and door panels, the customer wants a body kit for this car in the worst way and i have spent countless hours on the phone and on the web trying to locate one, with no luck at all. Do you guys have any sources for body ktis for 97 bonnevilles ? if so reply or shoot me an e mail at woodwardwireless@aol.com

umm there is not a kit out yet...there are some compaines who are working on prototypes and designs but there is not a mass produced kit out as of yet...if you are going to do a body kit some customizing will have to come into play.

If you want you could probably put the SSEi body kit on, it'* a lot more aggressive styling than the SE. Otherwise they were a few members looking into having some made, don't know if they made any progress or not.

This kit is currently in the works by AED but I have no clue if and when it will be finished... possibly spring 05? Nobody here has seemed to talk about this at all but Im guessing its because they feel it wont look right although I think it has serious potential.

Looks good, but the car really dont even look like a Bonne? Looks almost like an extended Auroa

doesn't body kit inherently mean rice? i'm not saying thats bad either. I like the sides of the car, but not the aurora rear end.
