New Aftermarket Parts!

[Corey]

I think that we need more parts for the aveo... well, I KNOW we do. SOOOOoo, I got to thinking about it, and why don't we voice our opinions? There is a good bit of people on this board, and if we all were to tell certain companies that we need certain parts, perhaps they would begin producing them? I'm thinking motor upgrades, turbo kits, things of that sort, body kits and other cosmetics too... So if anyone is interested in certain parts, or upgrades, etc... then lets try to get something going, Idk if somebody has already tried this but it just popped up in my head and I figured why not post it... lol

Maybe it's a good idea, or maybe it's difficult and not gonna happen, but why laugh at Corey? When has sitting around with your thumb up your arse gotten anything done?

[thehunterooo]

ive contacted many places and they laugh at me, as they only carry parts for honda, nissan or toyota

i wish we could get parts made, but again aveos arent hondas so it makes it rather difficult

i have contacted a company about making coil overs, they have "expressed" some interested into seeing if it was viable and looking into development. But they are a small outfit making decent affordable coilover that some of my friends run. I am not sure about if they were just being nice because i personally know a dozen buyers of their current products, or if they are genuinely going to make consider them.

there is that place in canada now for bracing, the old body style has taillights and head lights on ebay, CF hoods, and such.

What else are you looking for?

I have been in contact with a few manufactures of aftermarket parts. Some never even reply, others say there's not a big of demand, but one or two are willing to make goodies for our cars.
It requires us to write emails to parts suppliers and let them know we are out there. I myself am targeting the North American parts manufactures. If you work had at it you can even get some free bees out of it.
I will be posting up suppliers as they come out with the parts for our cars, even the 2009's!!!!!!
Ultra Racing Canada (http://ultraracingcanada.com) has a full line of Suspension and Racing kits for Aveos. Just let them know Red Max sent you!!

The problem is not enough return on their investment. A lot of interest is expressed, but when it comes time to put up, no one wants to do it. To be honest, the reason most people opt for the Aveo over say a honda is because of PRICE. Well if the people buying Aveos are worried about price, they are not inclined to purchase expensive aftermarket parts. That along with the fact that there are so few Aveos, the market just isn't there.
