There used to be a site called www.Fmkustoms.com but the site isn't working right now. I got everything to run my train horn from them, except for the train horn I got that from somebody else.
Anyway they sell a kit for the Alero, but if it's the same guy that was selling the VIP graphics, he's fallen off the face of the earth without shipping anything

you need:
http://store.gaugemagazine.com/99-04...ontairkit.aspx ($560)
http://store.gaugemagazine.com/99-04...earairkit.aspx ($532)
at lest 1 compressor ($200+)
8 valves (~$220 for 8 3/8" smc)
tank (~$70 for a 5gal, 8 port)
pressure switch (~$20)
switch box (prices vary)
psi gauges are nice (2 dual needle, 1 single needle) (~$35/dual needle, ~$20/single needle)
air lines (~$25)
fittings (varies by setup, probably around $100)
install isnt too hard, just gotta make sure you use a good thread sealant to avoid leaks. me and a friend had my grand prix done in a day and a half, and that included modifying the airlift struts to get the car to lay out better.

PM rick .. he is forbidden here. Or call him @ 317-534-8241 .. Tell him richie w/ the alero sent you. LOL
FMkustoms site doesn't work cuz FMkustoms is no longer. He sold fmkustoms when he started up his new biz spyder graphix. Then the guy had it for a few months and decided not to keep it running. But he still has all the accounts tho to order air ride parts. I still order parts through him all the time.

i use air ride tech compressor systems, install is so easy even a novice can hook there stuff up, but they no longer make struts for our cars due to some kind of part issues
i bought from rick allot of times i never had a problem with him, guys he is married and has a kid so cut him some slack
if you do the install your self, will cost you next to nothing, but you say you are new to cars so this might be something ya might not want to tackle as a first project

well forbidden stopped answering my PMs and emails after i retracted the dispute on paypal. i ordered a license plate holder from him before halloween and have not received anything. i just want my ten bucks back, i understand it's difficult running a business, and he doesn't control the mail, but jeez, at least shoot me an email. plus he offered to refund, but didn't follow through. even naich isn't using him anymore for graphics cause he's awol.
back to the bagging...
