Yeah, it's going to be a very reflective candy red. I photoshopped all sorts of colors, and when it comes to having a kit like this on the Alero, red, white, metallic gray, orange, bright green are the only ones that seem to look "good" - but I have a thing for candy red.

We'll see how it shakes out. If I happen to get the body kit modified up and have some spare money, I might have the car wrapped in a reflective red for now, and then when I have a ton of money to sink into bodywork and RWD conversion, the car will be powder coated and then painted the color. I am probably going to pick up a spare Alero to get the custom work done without having this one down. We'll see what happens. Fabricator says it's easier to just grab a scrap car whose main body is good and rust free, modify it, then transfer all the stuff I want from this car to it.


Yeah I think they came out more than okay man. Give yourself some credit lol and that I believe given the amount of different variables in capturing something that's moving at a certain speed while it's surroundings are stationary. Nice!! I checked out his Instagram and those are some really sweet photos. I still have the one you took of my Miata in Michigan a few years back saved on my computer haha.


Nice and yeah I like a good gray myself, but it makes sense. Red is what you started with afterall. It was the OG project. I could definitely see that and plus finding another Alero on the cheap is pretty easy. Even if you come across a nice one. I still see them driving around from time to time, but most of them are in pretty rough shape unfortunately.
