Hey there folks!

I just got back from another year in Iraq, I'm getting out of the Marine Corps in 3 weeks, and I've got some cash to burn. I've procured a 1999 Alero 2.4L, and I'm gonna turn this thing into one sexy beast! I've never documented a project before, so I apologize if things get a little hairy. All advice, comments, and criticisms are welcome!

I'm going to start with the interior (black leather, black cloth, gloss dark blue accents, blue LED lighting) while I wait on my hookup to get ready to paint and install my body kit, which can be seen here:

Here's the rims:

As for the new seats, Kragen has an awesome deal going on right now where you can get TWO black faux-leather sparco-style generic seats for $250. I traded a friend of mine a couple 8" subs and an amp for these seats after we found out they wouldn't fit in his jeep.

I'm going to hang on to the big pieces of the interior and cut/sew/cut/sew/cut/glue/sew/cut some vinyl/leather to fit while my hookup takes care of the exterior.

Please note that the PVC WAI was kind of a joke/proving-a-point kind of thing. It actually sounds cooler than most WAI's, surprisingly.

Also note the gauge cluster being held on by zip ties...

Here goes nuthin'...
