New Guy To Aleros

[Decka]

Hey all just thought I'd give a shout...
Today I put a deposit on a 99 Alero GL coupe (V6). Don't know the exact color name but it's like a forest green. It already has some pretty dark tint on the rear windshield and side windows (guessing 20%). There's a thick tint strip across the windshield that I haven't decided if I'm going to remove or not (I would prefer if it were faded rather than hard edged). There's also some gold pin striping along the side as well as a tow hitch that I know I'll remove both of those.

You my have seen me from n-body.net, I had a 97 Achivea that was recently totaled. As of now, I'm waiting for my insurance check to arrive and a response for a loan approval. Once those are all set, I'll finalize the purchase. I'm hoping to get the car before the end of the week.
here's my previous car:

that was a decent ride ya had there! too bad it was smashed up.

was it a hit and run or did the person that nailed ya give you his info for insurance?

[Daytona]

Welcome aboard!

[Decka]

Thanks for the welcomes.

The accident happened right in front of my house. Quick version.. the guy was trying to park behind but "slipped" on the gas. A cop was there and wrote a report (no tickets). The other guy's insurance wanted to settle with $1700 at first but then went up to $3k sine we had a set value on the car of $4k through our insurance. They didn't meet it so we went through ours, they took my car, after I stripped off everything I could. Went car shopping and here I am now.

Ditto, and I'm not usually a fan of Achievas, so it takes alot for me to say that ;)
Welcome by the way

hey, Welcome to Aleromod!

[Decka]

Thanks for the replys again.

If all goes well I'll have my car tomorrow. I'll be sure to post pics when i can.

In the meantime, I've found myself having a little fun in Photoshop. Here, I don't even have the car yet but apparently I have plans going for it.

[acold7dusta]

not bad, keep posted. is that the same green as ur car

[63starfire]

If your car truly ends up looking like that, it will be sweet

[Decka]

Well.. there were a few stumps in the loan approval so hopefully tomorrow.
Anyway.. here're a few changes to the chop.

[Satsuriku]

my previous car died and i needed a ride ASAP. so, went to a dealership and they got me my alero on the same day i walked in the building, hell good interest and good deal (they had a huge used car sale that day)

The rear bumper I used the Razzi rear.. It may look good in the chop (kinda dark too).. but I'm not sure if just the Razzi rear would flow with the rest of the stock body and I'm not much of a fan for the rest of the kit.

I have a loan on mine too... What, you just expect me to pull $10,300 out of my back pocket? :thumb:

[Decka]

As soon as I clean it and get a feel for it, I'll post pics

[robz02alero]

Yeah... just the way I was raised I guess - was taught never to go into debt for anything that would depreciate in value (house, etc. is good because of equity), a car being one of the best examples of something that isn't really smart to go into debt for. :P

[Cliff8928]

Well, I won't loose horribly on the car because $10,300 was brand new off the dealer lot. The sticker was $19,710.
