Default Addco Bars For 2000+: News

This relates to my earlier thread about addco bars for my 2003 SSEi: http://www.bonnevilleclub.com/forum/...ic.php?t=87090

I spoke with John Wright at Addco today and explained how his catalog application was wrong (they show bars that will fit a 97-01 Bonneville, which is simply not correct), and how currently no one makes bars to fit our 2000+ cars. He sounded receptive and I pointed out that a set of bars would also fit the Seville, Aurora, and LeSaber of the same period, and that there was a demand for something beefier that what GM offered on these cars (yes, I name checked the BonnevilleClub forums). The end result of this is he is going to see about getting a set of factory bars and using these as a template for a larger set.

He did not make any definite promises, but he asked me to get back in touch with him next Tuesday for an update. I think that is a little encouraging.

A little extra stability would be nice. Keep us posted.

But GXP bars are rare and hard to find. Aftermarkets would be great, even if all he did was duplicate the GXP'*.

You can edit your topic title by editing the first post and include "Update" so people will know there is more to see in there
