I hope you got enough cash to just piss away for the lambo conversion doors...waste of money in my opinion (they would have to be custom made, theres no kit that I know of for much right now) I believe most people have hose covers that they sell at autozone or any car shop for like $5 or $10....not sure though...kinda curious myself...chrome fuel door good luck on the install....for the vinyl, just search on yahoo, any vinyl period will work....my advice is to get a body kit instead of making suicide doors unless your going for an out of this world show car and plan to spend thousands upon thousands to get someone to even try to install the lambo type doors on an alero....my 2 cents.... please correct me on anything that I may have wrong here....

^like he said for the vynil^ - ebay

flowmaster.com has the 80 series but in my opinion the 60 serious sounds much better on the 2.4 alero if that is in fact what you have.

go to your local auto store for the paint...someone will tell you what the name is...cant think of it off the top of my head.

for the billet gas door....go on ebay or on car-parts.com...it is the mustang billet fuel door and you have to drill new holes to install it. a few people on here have done...just look in the showcase and pm them.

I'm not even gonna reply about the lambo doors...like he said ^ , way too much money, but it can be done.

i also might be wrong so please correct if thats the case.

I guess it would be a unique look, I shouldnt say its stupid but rather very unique and I guess I would like to see what it would look like out of curiosity, but im not willing to front the money for that type of project....

hmmph yes i was just wondering, about vertical doors, im thinkign about suiciding the rear doors, but i still ahev one more question. where on flowmaster.com does it say i can order a 80 series for a 3.4 v6 auto alero :wacko: :wacko: please help

johny_boy32
03-03-2004, 09:39 PM
where are you gonna get the money to do all this stuff. Lambo doors and suiciding the rears....first off that would look frickin stupid...pic one or the other and second off.....thats a LOT of money. I dont think you actually know how much. We're talking thousands man, but hey if you go the money...its your car. about the muff, on the site the 80 series is listed for v-8's only...i'm telling you...go with the 40 or 60 series...a lot of guys on here are running both.

60 Series Delta Flow 2.25" Centered Input / Centered Output: (Import)

Lambos on a sedan? Thats a serious faux pas in my book. But if you're hellbent on getting them, you could always use the universal kit from Autoloc (http://autoloc.com/products/lambo.lasso), but since body shops see and probably have done this conversion on Hondas and Mitsubishis on a daily basis, they may try to jack up the price on YOU being a domestic, being a sedan, and being an ALERO.

Oh, i guess this is the part where i ask someone to correct me if i'm wrong

2500 for "show". 2500 for "go". To each their own.

for vertical doors you'll also need a flux capacitor. and a mr. fusion unit. otherwise the doors will not operate correctly. and time traveling with doc brown will be near impossible... also, clear your corners. because in the future every alero will have clear corners.

correct me if i'm wrong.

Well, a cheap place to start appearance wise is with the customcargrills.com alluminum grill kit. It's $39 shipped on Ebay.

Ordered myself one of those tonight. That will be my first appearance mod.

Holy cow, you really need to learn a thing or two about cars man. If you can't even pick out your own muffler why even try to mod. The numbers ex. 2.25 is the exhaust diameter, the stock diameter is 2.00. A nice slp will give you 2.5 all the way back. Input is where the stock pipe meets the muffler, the output is the piping for the tips out of the muffler. If your having problems finding it, check ebay. They always have plenty of that stuff. Vinyl you can get anywhere, same with interior paint. Hoses you can get basically anywhere too. Why throw so much money into worth less mods. I just don't get why people want to hype up their car for show when it doesn't have any go. And why do you want a loud exhaust when you don't have any performance. It just stupifys me. Sorry i just think all rice belongs at chinese resturaunts. To me people who buy this stuff are people who don't know cars and are afraid to actually touch their engines. Don't be afraid man, their are directions for about every mod for our car and most of which are easy to install with simple tools. I'm not trying to harp on you, because i think its good when kids get into cars, but theirs more then just neon lights and body kits. Remember that.

Okay, guys, call off your dogs. Newbie, remember? Over half of the people joined the board with big ideas and had no idea what they were talking about. Man, if you have the cash flow, do what you want, but i would seriously recommend using the "Search" button more often to avoid lectures :unsure:
