this is gonna sound totally A.D.D.ish.. but my car is really shiny and i never realized it...

cavaliers60 · 08-23-2007, 11:07 PM

lol Mine tends to be that way after a good wash.

ares89 · 08-23-2007, 11:10 PM

must be the 6 days of rain we've gotten with the nice wash 20 minutes before the first rain heh... never fails.. it rains right after i wash the car..

adam337 · 08-23-2007, 11:32 PM

my car is covered in dust from gravel roads and it stills shines..it amazed me today

billytheman1188 · 08-24-2007, 12:01 AM

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!!!!

thats the look im trying to go for.. clean.. heh... im realizing now that i dont really want decals all over it.. just the one on the windshield and then theres my previous comment about the 3rd brakelight..

If not, you can try windex

ares89 · 08-24-2007, 05:45 PM

no googone but god.. windex is gonna prove itself again as the miracle cleaner heh

ares89 · 08-24-2007, 06:59 PM

as the sun goes down and the temps drop from 90 the striping isnt comin off anymore -_- gonna have to wait til tomorrow to get the rest off... entire passenger side is off.. half of the top stripe is off on the driver side... man i was hoping to get it all done tonight heh

billytheman1188 · 08-25-2007, 12:27 AM

haha, that sucks. Im so glad my car didnt come with the ugly pinstripe

ares89 · 08-26-2007, 09:34 PM

update...
took 3 days due to starting really late evening + rain.. but the pinstripes are gone.. heh.. friend bought me some pioneer speakers for the doors that i blew a couple weeks ago.. and those are goin in soon.. heh

billytheman1188 · 08-27-2007, 12:00 AM

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?

heh I blew all but one speaker before I sold her, funny cuz I ripped that person off hardcore lol

take off those door sills too, the adhesive will come off with goo gone and some muscle, and yea clear ur corners, get some rims and lower that ho

Welcome. vary nice looking car. Good luck with whatever mods you decide to do.

ares89 · 08-27-2007, 02:07 AM

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?

TheMeaningOfLife · 08-27-2007, 01:08 PM

Hey welcome aboard! For that brake light cover get a black one off ebay, they blend in but look awesome at night.

You say "heh" alot to.

no biggie tho.

ares89 · 08-27-2007, 02:31 PM

TheMeaningOfLife · 08-27-2007, 04:31 PM
