SAP ?
 

When the 05s came out one could buy a Sport Apperance Package that included grills recessed, front and rear facia, taller spoiler, and side rockers.

Around $3200. Recall they had probs with front facia adhesive maybe?

Then I recall the rear spoiler being taken out of package and price reduced.
It was taller then OEM. People didnt like it I read somewhere.

Now I see on ebay the recessed grills being sold and notes of how hard they are to find, and discontinued.

Did they stop the entire SAP early and sell all these parts separate?

I havent followed it and might be moving toward some improvements once lease is up in few months/

That would be AutoCross aka AutoRice.

Does that mean AutoCross is a supplier that has these SAP in stock?

I found one Autocross online but dont see any parts for sale.

From what I've read, SAP parts are discontinued and are getting harder to find. When dealers and/or suppliers run out of them, that's it. :( I wouldn't mind having the kit on my car but NOT for $3200! :eek:

I called a fellow member here today who works at a dealer. he hokked me up with parts manager.

price for fron and rear facia extensions, rockers, mufflers and tips are $2200.

they have changed this kit so much since it came out I cant keep it straight.

Now grills are avail by themselves and not in kit that I was given number for.

Just saw a set of grills for over $400 on ebay. Darn, I hate I waited so long.

[QUOTE=JLHarper]Does that mean AutoCross is a supplier that has these SAP in stock?

No. It means that is what Pontiac called the option when it was offered in 05 in a failed attempt to appeal to the Tuner crowd.

WANTED TO BUY: SAP GRILL SET

Include me in that too. Looking for just the grills

I just spent the morning calling around and no luck.

Apparantly some members posted the locations of last remaining grills on LS2GTO.com around Christmas and they went fast due to ebay opportinuty to double price.

These are now selling for over $500 a set and none in pipeline or dealer stock anywhere in US so says three dealers I called, plus three other GM accessories companies.

Post or PM me what you would pay if at all and I will let you know what I see or get calls on.

I have adds running around looking so once I find a set I can send rest to you.

Dang, I dumped my extra set about a year ago for $200. I would have never guessed that they would have become hard to get. They do look nice though. I liked them on my car.

I found a set the other day. Its the only set I have found in a few weeks of looking.

There is a guy on LS2GTO.com who works for GMPARTS WAREHOUSE.com who had a few of the last sets. All gone now.

Latest is that they are selling for OVER $700 A SET on ebay and private channels! I bet it will go up more.

Around 45 guys bidding on last two sets on ebay I recall.

Man, I liked em at first, but kinda thinking now that dont look so good afterall. Certain body colors look good other colors they dont look good to me, IMO.

I may have to rethink the exterior options/

Anyone heard of any new parts suppliers coming out with ext parts?

Man maybe I need to sell my grilles! NIB! I haven't decided if they make it look more like a GP as they have recessed grilles. I will cut loose a primered SAP spoiler NIB.

the 04 SAP included a 05/6 hood, grilles, and the taller spoiler.

Man, wish I held on to my extra set! I sold them for $200 about a year ago. I got the whole '04 SAP kit for $500 - $300 cheaper than the '05 hood alone. I had trouble getting rid of the spoiler. Practically had to give that thing away on eBay.

I bought an '04 SAP kit for my car too. They released them to dealers in late '04 after I bought my car. I got my kit through my selling dealer's parts dept when sales manager showed me the dealer bulletin. I never mounted any of it, the whole kit is still in the boxes. I decided I like my car stock, so the kit is in storage. I drive the car so infrequently,it still seems like a car I just bought last week, so I havent tired of anything about it.

Skip, thats where it got confusing.

When I first looked at SAP when they came out (for my 05) they had front, rear facias, taller spoiler, rockers and grills. Over $3K. I have the original brochure from dealer.

Then it got changed to NO SPOILER (no one liked them I heard) and price dropped

Now I see they have front, rear facias (bumper covers) rockers, mufflers and tips, no grills.

The grills were sold seperate at some point but all gone in GM stock.

The spoilers are still available through Gene at www.gmpartshouse.com.

So VDB, you selling your kit? Skip, selling the grills?

Im trying to buy last SAP kit left in inventory.

Have you all seen the effects kits from company down under?

You know, I really hadn't thought much about it. I was just planning to hang onto to it as long as I owned my car. Be careful with that '05 front autocross front fascia, they did not stay attached too well when they were first released, GM later came out with a hardware kit since they had so much trouble with them, dont know if all later fascias had the kit or not..Craig

Craig, Thanks for the heads up. I remember that and read every detail as it unfolded. Thats the main reason I backed off it at the time and didnt buy.
I went to dealer and they didnt know squat about problem local back then.
They sent some GM engs down to some guys house on LS2 site I recall to investigate early in problem.

I had my 05 "tuned" tonight at well know national LS shop with dyno.
Hes done over 1200 nationally and pretty neat to watch procedure and computer pulls.

I picked up 11 rwhp from 324.4 to 335.2 and 342.1 torque up from 328.3.
They can adjust shift points, a/f mixture ,operating temp etc.

JL, What color combo is your car ? How do you like it? I really like my 04, I will probably never part with it.

If anybody has a set of SAP grilles that they want to sell, let me know. I already have the spoiler and front extension. Don't want the rear bumper and side pieces, just the grilles. If you have a set, please send me a pm. Thanks.

My 05 is Quick Silver, black interior.

I see a bunch of people looking on LS2GTO site.

Some are talking about finding a company to do aftermarket grills and have a list going. I will post if I hear anything or see a set of grills for sale.
