Yo guys any ideas for the taillights of an Alero. I don't like the look of the stock ones. Anyone got pictures of things they have done to theirs? Tinting? Vinyl What?

i say blech to messing with our tails. it really is what sets our cars apart..
Buuuut i see you have a white car? If you do anything to them, go with tint, i am sure there is a howto around. Darken them a bit, and with window tint and maybe black bezels on the front.. that would be sweet.

i strongly dislike shaved tails.. icky. If i wanted a neon i would have bought one. but keeping the full tails would look especially nice on the white.. the contrast of the red (or the dark tint) is especially flattering.
just my opinion. And he is a college student, and if he is anything like me he is flat broke so shaving and bodywork isnt an option.
Tinting would provide the classiest looks, and still stand out.

IMO, tinting looks great, I just did mine on a black alero, and it looks awesome. I'm personally not a fan of the shaved look, reminds me of those caddies with huge trunks...looks like poo. I say do what you want, if it looks good go with it. Tinting will look pretty good, good luck with it!
