My 2000 Yellow Alero
So here are a few pictures, it goes to the shop on Monday to be fixed where the security guard at work bashed the front.

Yeah, the security guard just thought to pop it in reverse at the end of a one way row and start to back up as I had just turned the corner to park my car, of course it was a pretty easy fight to win with who was right and wrong plus the lot cameras helped out also.

I'm wondering how a repair shop would match that color being that it is custom without the paint codes or numbers or what ever they use to mix the paints.

Never had anything painted before? They take your gas cap or a paint chip and can find the proper mix by a scanning machine. |

Well you definitely won't ever have a problem finding your car.  Looks good though, stands out, and is very unique.

Looks like peeling from backing into something.. eh.
Color is nice.. needs some rims or something to make it really "custom" though.. has good potential.

bdyman, Thanks captain obvious... as you could see from the posting above I mentioned that yes the car is not perfect by any means nor did I try to lead anyone into thinking its a 2010 car when the car is 10 years old either and yes the paint on the rear bumper is bad it tends to happened when something comes into contact with a surface that was once repainted.
I have installed the Electrochromic Compass and temp Mirror in it so far, something I always add to my cars unless it already has one.
Yes the GA rims are going to go, just need to find a set of black ones that I like first, what is the ideal size for the Aleros that works the best? Course the GA rims are only 15's

^ 15s came stock on the Alero. 16s were optional on the GX and GL, but standard on the GLS. I would say that 17s or 18s would work just fine. I personally wouldn't try and mess with anything bigger than 19s on an Alero though.
