Daug's 2008 aveo5 sv build thread.

Woo, nice purchase! I bet those parts will make a world of difference in handling.

[daug1502]

I'm hoping. I have had the car up to 100MPH once, and was disapointed in the handling. even on the light curves of an interstate it the car was being pushed to it's limits. I want handling that the car can't quite reach the limits of, that easily.

its the same hatch, it will work.

After seeing this picture, I don't think i'm happy with my blacked out bow tie in the back. I'm thinking my car would look better w/ no chevy bow tie in the back. I'll be calling the Pontiac dealer parts department tomorrow. Thanks Petrified!

Lol, why haven't I called them yet? Wonder if I can order it painted. . .

I got the check from the hail damage finally. I'm not going to worry about fixing the body up too much right now. A buddy and I are curious about the dry ice method but work or not I don't care at this point.

I have already ordered the Ultra Racing 4pc chassis brace kit from ThrowDownPerformance. Look forward to more pics of my install, and my garage will definitely be updated as well.

I missed this post

The two bars I had made an amazing difference, the two extra bars will make an even bigger difference, you will be very pleased with them.

While reading your various posts, I was thinking the same thing. Then, w/o doing any research, I thought maybe the G3 was only sold in Canada or something else, but when I saw a G3 sitting in someone's driveway the other day while driving around, I again thought "why doesn't this guy just call the parts department?" again.

Lol, In reality I just haven't gotten around to it. Plus I don't know where the pontiac stealership in my area is. I will try looking today when I wake up, hopefully it's not too expensive and comes pre-painted. I have seen one G3 floating around my area as well, it's even black the color I want for the part.

And hunter thanks for the input, now I'm even more impatient for them to come in.

Alright Daug, I did a little calling around today. It seems every Pontiac/GMC parts dept I called had a very poor catalogue/computer image of the 2009 G3. So i've been quoted two different prices. It's either $55 for the piece or $15 for the handle. I'm thinking the $15 price was probably just for the handle itself and not the entire trim piece. Both dealers were adamant that it would have to be pre-paid before they would order it and they could not guarantee that it would work. I live less than 1/2 mile away from a GMC dealer. So i'm going to drive over there with my car and show them exactly what i'm talking about. I'll keep you updated.

I could have that part removed in < 2 minutes.....Heehee

J/K, I'm not suggesting you illegally obtain this part.

$55 is the correct price on that part (i dont have the part #) it is $33.72 wholesale, make sure they guarantee they will get the right one.
