Body kit problem...help!

I own a Wings West body kit, but the front air dam was damaged and needs replacement. I asked around on another message board if they knew of a retailer who could get me the kit whole or even just the front piece, and someone said that Wings West went belly up?!?!? Does anyone know someone or where I could order the front piece, or even the whole kit for a 93-97 Camaro????

I beg to differ. I checked ebay and the only kit they have for the 93-97 is the Stella/Vizage kit...

Re: Body kit problem...help!

hard to believe wings west died 0_0 theyve been around a good while, well who knows maybe thatll bring along better companies thatll go back and make a great body kit for our cars! ... i can still dream right? anywho, some local dealers may have some hidden in a warehouse somewhere that you can buy from them, thats what ive had to do a couple of times with my car to get the dante style wheels back on it without going to the pacer duplicate.. good luck finding one though!

Well, supposedly they got bought out by another company, but from what I hear, they're not known for good customer service or product quality. Besides, I'm wanting to get this part in the near future, and who knows how long it will take before they're up & running again...

Who is not known for quality products? Wings West or the company that bought them?

Re: Body kit problem...help!

That's exactly what worries me. WW made an excellent product, but now that VIS owns them, who knows...

Re: Body kit problem...help!

If you need a source for the kit still let me know. I deal both WW and VIS so it shouldnt be a problem. I was not aware that VIS bought out ww but if they did I wouldnt worry about the quality going to hell. I have distributed for VIS for almost 5 years now and have not had a single incident with the quality or fitment of their products.

Its too bad you dont have a 98+ firebird...i have two full kits and two more front air dams sitting at my shop...
