What color do you see?
Hey,
First off, newbie here, newbie with my Alero, which I like more and more everyday I ride it. Anyways, one thing confuses my mind and that is the color of this car. I see brown, golden, copper, even purple. I asked friends, each say they see a different color. Here are a few pics I took.
Back
Front
Sides
Also, I will be looking forward to modding this car, I'll probably start with sound, what do you guys think? And as well ,what do you think of the color, is it an original color, or did I find myself a rare color? 
Thanks!
~Malix

Yea,
The pics don't show the color I see, I don't mind it, I like it a lot, but it does look golden in the sun, purple in the shadow. Kinda what Pimp said, kinda Bronze. Oh by the way, know the tire pressure? It has original tires (Eagle LS) on back.
Thanks!

Eh hehe,
This might sound dumb, but what exactly is it to clear a car's corners? Enlighten me if you will.

Take the amber lense out of the headlights, about 1/2 hours work per headlight if you choose to do it.

The only purple alero I have ever seen in my town doesn't look like that. I believe that is the auburn mist, which I have never seen in person, so yeah, looks like you got yourself a rare alero.
Welcome to the site, sit back and enjoy, and don't beliee a word these people say, lol. Ok I'm kidding, some are knowledgeble
