Pics of the Alero before the motor swap

Recent additions:

Two Universal Borla mufflers, HID high and low beams, 1 set of PIAA HID Fog lights, 1 set of PIAA blue fog lights, Momo shifter, Alpine hard drive and hideaway head unit, Varad visual theft deterents. All lights converted to LED's (inside and outside) and no I didn't put the resistors in to make the turn signals go normal speed, they flash really fast. I changed the instrument lights to all blue instead of the factory colors on the gauge board.

Lots more stuff, soon to be a new motor with a turbo! YAY! Paint and wheels. I have the lowering springs and struts to go on after the motor swap, contingent on the weight with the new motor and tranny.

Just got the HID's for my reverse lights, I will post the how too's on that with pictures when I have that completed.

Carbon fiber bezel seems to flow better than the stainless, you should consider switching it:

Odd rear stickers. A little overkill... I'd take them off, they're actually kind of ridiculous. Clear the corners.

What engine/transmission are you putting in?

It's for his reverse lights... learn to read newbs! Lol. So he can see better when backing up.

Cool!........... Where's the swap pics?? This thread was a little disappointing

Carbon fiber bezel seems to flow better than the stainless, you should consider switching it: Agreed, I will switch it ASAP.

Odd rear stickers. A little overkill... I'd take them off, they're actually kind of ridiculous. Clear the corners.

: Clear corners sounds interesting

What engine/transmission are you putting in? built up 4 banger with a manual tranny.

whats that white thing under your front bumper? They are splitters to increase airflow accross the front wheel

1. The HID rear lights is a big help with tinted windows, I do not back up that much but the guys at the shop put them in a gallardo and they were sweet, eventhough they work in conjunction with the back up camera in the wing.
2. Sorry about the swap pictures, the HID rears are slated for the next week or so to be done.
3. The white metal things are splitters, to increase airflow over the front wheels, a bit overkill, they should be removed.

cherrington17 · 08-30-2009, 04:47 PM

airflow over front wheels...?

why would you need that? our cars have performance anything enough to require such a thing? (last i checked)

maybe you can enlighten me?

[ion] C2 · 08-30-2009, 04:51 PM

Yeah, kinda weird. If you want to increase airflow to your brakes, cut a NACA duct in somewhere and route tubing to the inner wheel well.

xayphot · 08-30-2009, 05:11 PM

I actually do have cross drilled and slotted rotors! Pictures aren't the best but...

cherrington17 · 08-30-2009, 05:18 PM

ok. i recind my previous comment. you do indeed have them

xayphot · 08-30-2009, 05:20 PM

actually found them on irotors.com a year ago.

jayson_waltz · 08-30-2009, 06:28 PM

u got a lot of nice lil custom lighting things going on there, i like the ideas. u should either get some wheels of some polished gls factory ones, it would help the look a lot in my opinion

This is EPIC fail. Too many little mods do NOT add up to a USEFUL mod.
