Default 05 Dealer optioned body kit! Who's getting one?

Went to the local dealer and ask about the optional sport appearance package. The knucklehead salesman who supposedly is the guru on GTO couldn't tell me anything about it. Anyhow! I heard it will add an extra $3K to the sticker if dealer installed Seems a little pricey for body panels!

I do plan to get an 05 without the sport appearance package and hopefully will purchase it later on at dealer cost. Question is how much would I save if I bought, paint and install it at a local body shop rather than the dealer do it?

You'd probably save a good bit, wait till one of the sponsors on the boards gets them (fred beans), you can probably save a bit of money that way as well.

I added the cost of it in on my IBM blue 05 GTO, but I ordered specificly the front, sides and grill inserts. They are charging me dealer cost for those parts which is about half what you were quoted. Though I am not getting the rear, wing or exhaust 'upgrade' with mine.
