<p class="prHeadline">PONTIAC AMERICAN TUNER SUNFIRE ADDRESSES 
  THE GROWING &#8216;TUNER&#8217; MARKET </p>
<p>As the tuner market continues to thrive, the new Pontiac American 
  Tuner Sunfire body appearance kit will give youthful enthusiasts 
  new, inventive ways to accessorize their vehicles. The American 
  Tuner Sunfire Coupe aftermarket body appearance kit debuts at 
  GM dealers and professional automotive accessory retailers in 
  late January 2004 and is based on the original show car exhibited 
  at the 2002 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show 
  in Las Vegas.</p>
<p>An example of concept-to-reality, the Pontiac Sunfire American 
  Tuner Package sets a new design direction for the popular compact 
  performance car market. This new, sleek aftermarket look builds 
  on Pontiac&#8217;s rich performance heritage. GM Design staff 
  collaborated with Stewart Reed of Stewart Reed Design to tune 
  the body appearance kit into the sleek new look.</p>

<p>Designed for the hundreds of thousands of Sunfire coupes and 
  convertibles built between the 1995 and 2002 model years, the 
  package enables owners to add image, performance and personal 
  expression to their production Pontiac Sunfires, while giving 
  younger drivers a means of getting a customized compact vehicle 
  that fits their budget. </p>
<p>Many parts on the vehicle are now available separately through 
  the GM dealer network as GM Performance Parts and GM Officially 
  Licensed Parts. Body parts come primed and tuners can have dealers 
  install the kit, or do it themselves using the easy-to-install 
  &#8220;glove-over&#8221; process. The package brings &#8220;street 
  machine&#8221; image and performance within the reach of many 
  young auto enthusiasts who want to enhance their driving experience.</p>
