Default Heritage kit ( feeler )

How many people would be interested in this kit if it were available. Basically the front bumper and the spoiler. Hood could be possible in the future.

I dont know about that one. I like the widened fenders but the front openings are just a big to big and plain for me.

You know I would buy it! How many yes's would it take to make it worth your development cost if pricing was about the same as your E-1.

Hell yeah. On my black car it would be down right sinister.

The hood, btw, is just a stock flat hood with the hole in it, so I don't think you would sell many of those.

You can see the grill a bit better in these pics.

KLRWS6, try posting a link to some of the Heritage threads. Those folks already know about this car.

You know, Pontiac has quite a few flush mounted foglight/turn signal lenses that might fit this front end with minimal tweaking. It would certainly improve the aerodynamics. I think the lights on the side of the Heritage are just yellow turn signals which I'm not sure how good it would look at night.

Who is going to want to fill in their stock side vents and cut an opening for these? I don't think anyone cares about those vents.

The front air dam should either be a seperate piece or molded into the bumper. The bumper wouldn't be the same without it. It would be easier to produce them as one piece, but at the same time, if it gets damaged you would want to replace just the spoiler. So it's hard to say which is the better choice.

I'm also a little undecided about the little kick outs in front of the rear wheels. It might better match the front and would be fairly easy and cheap to make (and sell), but is it really needed? I can't say.

As far as the rear spoiler. I'm not sure it's possible to make that. Once you remove the stock wing you would have to do a lot of fiberglass work to smooth it out and fill in the holes just so it would look good. That would add a lot of cost to the spoiler install. Would people be willing to pay that much?

It would help if you said WHY it looks ugly in your opinion.

He already sells the E-1 bumper for $400. It bolts on.

Since he already has the base part that bolts to the car made, it's just a matter of reworking the front of it to the new shape.
