Spoke with the head honchos at Wings West today just to see if their position has changed since last December when they shut the door in our face for the umpteenth time regarding a body kit, I e-mailed them and followed up w/a phone call to see if for some bizarre reason their position had changed. it has not.
"Terry,
Thanks very much for your inquiry and opportunity. Unfortunately you are correct however; we are extremely over booked with prior commitments and can not increase the work load at this time. I do agree that this would be a great addition to our line up of body kits and should any time in the tooling department come about I will make sure to contact you.
Very sorry we couldn't help.
Best Regards,
Ryan Herman

I've spent countless hours talking with these companies including Wings West and Kaminari and these companies simply do not want to take a chance on a defunct family sedan. You guys have no idea the amount of legwork and selling I had to do to get a solid, state-of-the-art company like Carisma to agree on a group buy on a body kit for our car. And you know what? Not only did they agree, but they've listened to every single little request and demand I've given them to make this work for the CEG.
We all want a kit before summer and if you stick with me, I guarantee it's going to happen. There have been some serious design issues that have had to be taken care of and I will have some news in the upcoming week that will get some of you even more excited for this kit. it's been insanely difficult so far to make this happen but IT IS going to happen. I'd hope that in the future you'd show me a little more respect after everything that i've done on behalf of the CEG for this kit.

Hey Terry, I'm still with you. Once the finished product is made and on your car and I see some pics, I should be in for one. Forget the naysayers and keep up the good work.

"Hella" I don't think anyone is intentionally dissing you. We understand the leg work. and you did a fine job so far. But lets say something acutally goes through you can't knock it down or get worried yours will definetly sell.

I just want to say that those people at wingswest would probably rather work on annoying Honda Civics all day than give us a chance.
Give me more beer and CEG before i get depressed!

quick question for Terry(btw gj on your struggle on tryin to get us CEGer's a body kit) or anyone else that is looking into companies to make us a body kit for our 'Tours. Will the body just be for the 98+ or SVT only? Cause I have a 96 Contour Sport, and I have been havin a hard time tryin to find nice lookin body details for my car(except factory SVT). So if you could answer this question it'd help me out a lot, and maybe even some other Pre-98 CEGer's.
Thanks,
Jimmy
