Just some suggestions.....you should paint that overlay the same color as your car....that would look a lot better.
Second..... take off the "ALERO" and the "OLDSMOBILE" on your trunk.....it will look A LOT cleaner.
then in the future you should paint that black part on the inner part of the mirrors the same color as your car.
Im not trying to be a douche, just some advice
Glad to see another alero owner come to the site!!!!

One of my rear speakers are blown a little bit....if i turn the bass in the speakers down i dont notice it due to my loud bass :-)
Eventually i will take my subs out and sell them, then just put some GOOD speakers in the back, but i heard its a pain in the ass. The front ones shouldnt be too bad though! good luck and let us know how they sound. How much were the speakers?

the speakers.. they were just cheap pioneer replacements.. i think they were $23 with my friends bestbuy discount heh..
mixtape i do have rims.. but they arent goin on yet.. after winter.. corners are getting cleared soon.. and the lowering? eh... dunno if i want that heh
as for the third brakelight... should i take off the decal and keep it off.. or get it redone in the color of the paint?
