Started modding Alero
Hey everyone. I just started making a few mods to my alero. Nothing major. Anyways, I cleared its corners, got its tails smoked, and did an audio transplant from my delta. My old pics are in the car domain, in case you haven't seen them. These are my new pics.

I like the wheels...though they are too small for a modded car, IMO. If those were OEM wheels, that would be great...
nice clean ride.

Thanks everyone. The subs sound pretty good, but I had to lower the gain on the amp by like half and move the balance a little to the front, otherwise the bass would overpower the treble. As for hiding the wires, I did try, but I don't know how. Me and my friend ran a few of them under the spare tire cover, and the others to the side.

^ I took them to a paint shop, but from what I understand, they mix a little black paint (or a lot depending on how dark you want it) with a bunch of clear. So if you have the tools and know-how you can probably do it yourself.

good choice in audio, those older rockfords are great, as long as it wasn't one of the best buy ones...

I sent them to a paint shop in Roma called US 83 auto collision. Wouldn't really recommend them though. :cough: http://www.aleromod.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23999

If you mean the clear corners, all you need to buy (if you already have tools) is the silicone. The reason I didnt do it before was, I couldnt afford silicone lol

I do want to lower it later, the mirrors Im thinking Id like black better though. My plans are to have a white, black, and chrome theme. I am thinking of later getting the black rims with polished lip, and maybe the black mesh grill, and Im set.
