Talking finally...lol

Finally got validated...so obviously I'm Brad and I'm from Grand Rapids Michigan. I've got a 2001 4 door alero with 103000 miles on it. Just started really caring about the appearance and wanted to start making some changes since it looks like I'm gonna have it for a while. First I think a paint job is in order LOL....

Its got a nasty paint chip in the front bumper and the paint on the Hood is chipped pretty bad. Maybe just a front end paint job?

have you had an opportunity to look around? Theres a GM build book to get the eco to 1400+ HP! I have the same engine in an '05 cobalt and its a really strong motor, probably the better of the 3 engine options for the Alero.
