Yup. He was parting his out so it was already painted and everything. Made my life much easier.

here we go, some pics with the body kit

it is your car so do what you want but personally i think that chrome strip you put all over the back clashes and takes away from the car

Looks good! I like how the fog lights look behind the mesh. One suggestion is to get rid of chrome on the tail lights, but it's up to you.

i like the bodykit x3 on losing the chrome on the taillights

Looks sweet. I cant wait to put mine on.
I would of waited till after winter though.
But once you find some nice rims and tint your windows its going to look fresh

it also needs to be lowered

^I know, im getting my lowering springs for Christmas and will be getting some 17' rims in the spring. window tint is on the list but new exhaust is before that. the chrome on the trunk is to cover up the black seal line between the 2 parts, I think it makes it look a lot cleaner, and the tails kinda finish it off, personally I really like it, though I will agree it doesnt look good in the pics, much better in person, and I get a random compliment on it specifically. I'll be keeping it, I like the look, but like i said, its better in person. thanks to all for the compliments! anyone notice the custom touches? the side skirt vents are filled and the lower vents on the front bumper, makes it look WAY better I think. however that work was all done by greg before I purchased it.

I as well think the "chrome" strips looky tacky but its your car. I noticed right away that the holes were filled in, it looks much better that way and in the case of the front bumper will be much stronger when you are lowered. I also like the fact that you are going to get exhaust before tint!

That's my kind of thinking........

Personally I realized after being kitted that I didn't want to anymore, but I also understand that when you want something and a good deal comes up you jump on it. (There's a reason I had my wheels in the garage for over 3 years before they went on the car....lol) This kit already painted for your car and for you was a good grab!

I would get the Eibach Springs on that one. The Eibach leaves the car sitting very level and looks good with that kit. **I too like the front mods that are done on that cover. The H&R Springs leaves the car a little lower in the front. I have H&R on mine and to give you an idea of the angle it sits on, to adjust the front lamps to their proper angle I had to completely max out the height adjuster to get it. Even there they are a touch low when I checked them with our digital GM aimer, but pretty close.
That much angle with that fascia and I think you'll have issues and end up in a bodyshop pretty quick. "I think" the Eibach's are the way to go for you, again... as always, to each their own though! Lookin' good!

Papa Rad17 · 11-17-2011, 04:30 PM

yes, getting the eibach for sure. the exhaust will be pacesetter headers and cat, quad tips. I had been wanting the kit for so long, no that I finally have it I just want to sit in the garage and stare at it, I like the little different look it gives the car but yet you can still tell its an alero. I appreciate the help/comments everyone!

this thread almost makes me want to get one of those kits and do the mods he did to it and then put it on my car...i would have to figure out something for the back bumper though because those big screen holes just aren't my style and it flairs a bit much...i still would entertain getting a aas front bumper instead of a stock one if i end up having to get one to paint

JLw7123 · 11-17-2011, 05:17 PM

i am thinking of getting a bodykit for my car but the hard part is going to be finding a place that will have the paint for my car and they have to mix it right or it will not come out the same color. I will customize it but that is if I get it.

Papa Rad17 · 11-17-2011, 09:52 PM

My local body shop was going to for me but then I found this one already painted and everthing, one hell of deal and I think it looks sweet. The vents in the rear may be a bit big but I like them. It looked like crap before I got bumper painted black being them though, unfortunately I didn't get any pics of it like that... Oh well, after a few hours of sanding it turned out really good.
