This is a message from Matt Teske, JBO Corporate Relations Executive, discussing the outcome of the SEMA Show and what was accomplished.

Fellow J-Body Enthusiasts,

Hello, this is Matt Teske, J-Body Organization Corporate Relations Executive. I would like to start off by saying that the J-Body is well on its way to being a focal point in the aftermarket for sport compact cars. As one of the delegates that recently attended the SEMA show on behalf of ALL J-Body owners, I am glad to say that new parts and ideas are coming and it is all due to us, the J-Body community. Our continued enthusiasm and persistence have helped to boost the J-Body to new levels in both the eyes of the consumer and aftermarket part developers. As for the rumors of things being “classified”, I would like to put that to an end right now. Here is a list of only some of the new products that are all ready available and some that are being researched for the J-Body, along with contact numbers for the companies:

* = IN THE DEVELOPMENT STAGES

This only a list of SOME of the products that will be or are already available for the J-Body, there is more to come. The SEMA show was a success for all J-Bodies owners. The delegates that attended the SEMA show were there for the soul purpose of strengthening the J-Body in the aftermarket and to make sure the parts WE all want are being researched and produced. We are all in the J-Body Organization for the same reason, the passion for our cars, and that is what I am, as well as the other delegates, trying to convey to aftermarket companies and GM. We have grown greatly in the past three years and things are only looking better. I hope that we can all enjoy OUR success as an Organization and continue to grow as a community. If you have any questions concerning the availability for a product or about a product not listed above, simply e-mail me. I hope this update has been informative and good luck to all of you and your J-Bodies.

Sincerely,
Matt Teske
The J-Body Organization
