Any electric vehicle conversion shops around Jackson, MI?

I received this via the site's "Contact Us" form. I realize it's a long shot, but I thought I'd put it out here for the group to respond to, if there's any response to be had...

I would like to convert my pontiac vibe to an electric car or at least half electric. I see I can buy a conversion kit for $26 according to gas2electricconversion.com - that says anyone can do it, but I think it is more complex than that. Can you please direct me to some good people that charge a fair/low price?

Here's a map with some shops. It doesn't look like there's anyone in MI, though.

Thanks, Patrick.

I know the asker of the question is watching this thread - hopefully she finds something in there.

Try http://michiganeaa.org/ as well, not a shop, but the MI chapter of the electric auto association and there might be someone who is part of that club who would be willing to help out.

I'd offer my services. I'm in Grand Rapids which is a bit of a drive from Jackson but at least its the same state. I might be able to track down someone closer to Jackson too.
