Not the best pictures in the world but they should give you an idea of how my modding is going.

Comments, questions, criticism/suggestions welcome!

i think you should put orange reflectors in the corners of your headlights.......

Yeah, it's a "small emissions leak" or something like that. I tried replacing the gas cap with a new one with a nice seal, and making sure that I click the cap at least three times after filling up. Didn't help.

The local mechanic said it's nothing vital to the car, the only downside is you'll have a SES light until you fix it. He wants to run smoke through the lines to find the leak, but I said I'll live with it. I can get the light off for a couple days by unhooking the battery for a couple minutes. I'd like to get a code reader so I could do this kinda stuff myself, but everyone's told me that they're several hundred dollars.

Atmo,
How the hell did change the change the lights in the gauge cluster? The gear indicator and the idiot lights? Also your tailights are BEAUTIFUL.

cherrington17 · 08-20-2009, 08:01 AM

very nice. i like it

lonnie · 08-20-2009, 08:19 AM

Looks good...can you change the color of the tails....thinking that they look nice but I would match the interior color red....Have you been pulled over for having blues in the tails yet?

^^^^I didn't see any blue in the tail lights. License plate light is a blue, but thats becoming common. And not to mention legal.

But atmo, really diggin the interior. I would like mine to be somewhat like that some day.

His taillights are blue and the license plate light is reddish...I know I'm getting up there in age....but....LOL...unless you were being sarcastic?

StoopidAlero · 08-20-2009, 01:29 PM

Wow lonnie. You are old if u think those tails are blue the the license plate red! Maybe you're just drunk.

Atmosphere · 08-20-2009, 01:31 PM

Thanks for all the feedback.

Smurf: That's just how my cluster is, maybe the camera changed the color a bit or made them seem more intense. I'm sure there's a way to change them though, white would probably look nice.

Lonnie: Tails are red and license plate is cool white, hence the bluish tint. I'm thinking about doing a small strip of LEDs in the same color of my interior, however. (470 nm)

Psyfox · 08-22-2009, 10:15 AM

I like it atmo. Hopefully after I get rims next summer mine will look a little less ricery, lol. I just love the black. I was thinkin about doin the blue interior like you did...I ended up goin the green route though, but damn do I like that look, lol.

Keep up the work man.

I am really enjoying this car, those tails really do the trick. Normally I say no to chrome handles, but those seem to work for some reason.

Dual exhaust and a drop would really polish it up

Nate's Alero · 08-22-2009, 10:50 AM

Dude, Sexy...... i was SHOCKED when i saw it, what lights did you use for the GC? thats effing BRIGHT!

how much did those tails run you

EDIT, HOW DID YOU CHANGE THE HVAC CONTROLS!?!?!?!?!? i JUST noitced that

ServO · 08-22-2009, 01:07 PM

Atmosphere, those new tails look GREAT! Thanks for the trade too, 'cause I'm really digging the tinted ones we put on my car...Ima take some pics of my ho today since it's like the first sunny day in a week...no tornados got you on wednesday...that's a good thing!
Ok...Lonnie is not losing his mind when he says the tails look blue in the pics, cause they look blue on my monitor too...I thought maybe I had recently gone colorblind or something, but nope...in the pics on my end they are lightsaber blue...I took a pic of my monitor to show you...

What's up with that?

99alerogirl · 08-22-2009, 02:37 PM

that's really weird. the tails on mine look normal.
