Sport appearance pack

I dig the way the front bumper looks on the Sport appearance pack. Is it a separate bumper or is it like a lip kit?

It's a facia that is attached to the exisiting front. The grill on the stock lower valance is removed to make way for the SAP grill which is affixed to the SAP facia. It is held on with 2 way tape and screws.

Cool thanks for the info! How much does one cost?

I'm not a big fan of the SAP front end..too busy looking and I don't like the idea of double sided tape holding pieces on my car

You bring up a good point about the double sided tap but i honestly dig the look, it makes the car look angry.

Not sure of the cost now, you'd have to call your Pontiac parts dept and inquire.

As far as not wanting to have parts held on a car with tape.... most cars now a days have trim etc., held on with 2 sidded tape. You'd be surprised at what you'd see when walking in a body shop to see just how many cars have factory accessories held on with tape. Yesteryear cars were all steel, now they are mostly plastic. That's just the way it is.

I'm not wild about tape holding it on either but it holds up, IF it is installed properly. It is a poor design but there is a fix for it. This is a link I found which shows a permanent fix to the poor installation design.

I just installed the SAP front extension, and I paid $349 (unpainted) from the dealer. Not sure what it would cost just to have it installed and painted because I was having other work done as well. Call the dealer, they should be able to order it for that price...

V8 goat, when are you getting it installed? Let me know the final cost of painting and everything when you get it done.
