Sounds just like me 2 years ago, anyone remember the giant thing i planned on putting on the Alero? Still put it on, but in shrunk format. Then took it off.
Don't do it!

I am in fact, for mechanical and aerospace engineering. And that's kinda funny...small world. Well if you're ever passing through, I'm the RA at Kelly A this year. I'm sure she knows where that's at and can point ya. You'll probably see my Alero before you see me since it's parked on the street...I'm on the wait list for an actual parking pass, lol.

I spent $1300 on turbocharging. It could've been done for less if I hadn't used a $230 external wastegate. My mention of $5,000 was TOTAL. As in bodywork, paint, interior, engine, wheels, turbocharging and all other minor items.
I understand you're going for the show-car look, but just because it's a show car doesn't mean it has to be ugly. When you start seeing the same wing on every pile-o-shit on the road, you might regret putting it on. That's all I'm saying. By all means do what you want, we're just here to try and give you some tasteful advice so you don't make a mistake and have to re-mod over and over like I did lol. I used to have a huge wing.

Yeah please avoid the huge wing, every gawdy civic I see has that, and all the ricy V6 Mustange with asshats driving them have it, it has a real negative vibe to it, like it screams idk wtf im doing or something, IMO. I used to think haveing a spoiler was cool I wanted an aluminum one, but I realised that it was a bad idea, and kinda looked dumb, thankfully befor I ever bought one. Giv this some real searus thought, befor you go and do something you will regret.

Pictures will be up when I have some more time. Right now I'm going through training for my Residential Assistant position at my college and it literally eats up about 12 hours per day. I'll try and take some tomorrow, but right now I just got back from a 2 day camp and am just ready for bed.

Psyfox,
Because you are my new "pick-on" buddy, I say post pics now or I will come down there and smack you around with a camera and hope to get some good pics that I can post up on the forums. LOL
Just kidding. I work 16 hour days and am on here most on the time, what are you complaining for?
