Hello!
Hey everyone!
I cant believe I've owned an alero for 8 months and never came across this site! This is awesome!
Anyways, I live in St. John's, Newfoundland and I own a 2004 black alero, 4 door. Everything is pretty much still stock in her besides an interior mod I did this week...everything beige inside the car will be going black. As you can see in the picture i got the door panels done and the part of the dash. Still going to do the carpet, headliner, and pillars. I Would love to get the seats re-done but all i can think of is putting covers over them. Any suggestions? Defenatly got to get the windows tinted and maybe the tail lights. Let me know what you think!

I like the black, its a little to much for me but we'll have to after everything is done.
I've been thinking about making my own seat covers, after taking the one off to wash it, its not that hard to do, it didn't feel to me that it would be that hard to recreate with out it being all floppy like you see in cheap installs. I just need an old seat cover to take apart.

Thanks all!
Afugy I was thinking how hard that would be because I see alot of really bad/loose covers in some cars. Going to have to look into it and test my upholstery skills haha.
also forgot to mention that it has a 2.2 ecotec. I've searched for performance parts and I can find exhaust, air intake...and not much more. Seems to be alot more parts for the previous 2.4.

Maybe even going to a junk yard pulling one off of a seat and trying to dye that one just to see how it will come out. The last thing you would want is to have those seat bleed dye out onto your clothing. Your going to need one for parts anyway.

false. you just aren't looking in the right place. keep in mind that some parts vendors don't realize the alero came with that motor so you have to look under different gm models like the cavalier.
