I'm curious to know how many of you would be interested in some high end fiberglass and carbon fiber lip kits, bodykits, hoods, and maybe wings?
A friend of mine is starting a new company and trying to decide which cars he will build for. Right now he's thinking Audi, BMW, Mazda (RX7), Toyota (Supra), Lexus (is300), Nissan, ect. He Told me that if there was enough of a market, he would be willing to START with alero lip kits (front lip, side skirts, and rear vallances). The kits will be very high end (Veilside style) and will go from mild (lip kits) to wild (Wide body kits and hoods).
I need to know what type of price range alero owners are willing to pay and what everyone's level of interest is.
Let me know.

I think that he is sort of thinking about something like this for the lip kit (something subtle) and one of the MANY hood ideas he has. He is looking at doing different stages of kits. Stage 1: mild and subtle - Stage ??? Extreme Show Pieces (full wide body kits). Sorry about my photoshopping abilities, or lack there of. If you guys want to email me your different ideas for design I'll get them to him, he is still very interested in our idea.

the only problem is the alero isnt mainstream, and im not trying to dogg our aleros, but your friend from a business standpoint will not make money from most of us as we are either young and trying to be different or with family and cant afford too much......with that said.....if he can make a "lip" kit to resemble OSV...or make the entire thing...he would rake in some cash as thats the ONLY kit to really have for a 2door...4doors need the razzi...in one piece fame, and some kind of sc/t side like mine that blends better for a widebody look...lol....but thats just me and my cheesehead opinions

He would probably be able to make the most with an OSV inspired spoiler. I wouldn't mind something, as long as it looks like it belongs there, and not tacked on. I'd like to see some examples first.

Eh, got to be with Jturkey and 2000...if he's only willing to do it if there's enough of a market it probably won't happen...modding aleros just isn't popular enough

A wise man once said "Don't tell me why it can't be done, show me how it can". The way I look at it, I'm getting a kit either way and while I do appreciate your market scope and welcome everyones oppinion, I truly think that we should be looking at not only the current Alero owners, but the Alero owners of the future. I think that if Veilside were to come up with some sick Alero kit, you'd see a heck of a lot more Alero's in the "tuner world". This friend of mine is going to make it weather he does Alero's or not, so I say why not take advantage of this opportunity to have some Alero's step up their game. Here's the link to my crappy photoshopping of what I think he's talking about for the lip kit and hood. http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/show_image.pl?bg=FFFFFF&image=http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/9/web/2397000-2397999/2397181_4_full.jpg
Remember this is still totally open to suggestion. I'll also talk to him about the OSV kit and see what he thinks.

Powerlifter812 I think its cool you trying to get more kits out there for the alero nation. I checked your link and I think that maybe this lip kit should be more OSV like. Like molding the front lip to the front bumper, bring the lip and side skirts closer to the ground to give it a more lowering effect maybe. As for the hood...not digging the vent on the side, but could use the scoop further back and spreded out a bit more,I guess..........

Again, thank you guys for your input, the last thing I want is to spend a whole bunch of time making some weak looking kit. Like I said before, please send me you're ideas. powerlifter812@hotmail.com. From what I've gathered thus far, it sounds like the highest level of interest is in an OSV style kit. I assume that we'll start with an OSV lip, then move to a full bumper. As far as those 100-1 odds, I think I like that, sounds like a payday to me. On a more serious note, I really do still need more input, what you DO and DO NOT like. My Alero is scheduled for tear down the last week in August. LET ME KNOW GUYS.

If there was an OSV kit available I'd be first with the money in... only body work that comes close to being halfway decent for an Alero.

07-24-2006, 12:24 PM
Again, like most others I have my doubts, when you talk of alero owners of the future, you realize it's not being made anymore so if there is a new owner, that means that someone else stopped being an owner, so there will never be any MORE owners than there are currently in the world, and there will actually be less as they get in accidents or break down/get junked...that's why there's not a great market for them currently and hard to imagine why one would open up in the future.

I feel kind of bad--I don't want to bring you down, and just like everyone else I would LOVE to see more hood options and an available OSV kit, I'm just trying to keep you grounded so if it doesn't happen, you're not too dissapointed.

powerlifter812
07-24-2006, 01:45 PM
Thank you guys very much for your continued input. Thank you for your point on the "future alero owners", it was well taken. Allow me to elaborate on my original thought. Back in the 90's the Honda Civic was known as an inexpensive, economic, family car. With the emergence of the "tuner scene" it has become the biggest slut car of all time. You can go ANYWHERE and get ANYTHING for it. Some honda owners even have the "nerve" to put down 600 horsepower. Although I understand that the honda civic is still in production and the Alero is not, the point that I was trying to itterate is that the reason that you can't find "cool guy parts" for the alero is that it hasn't yet been proven a "cool guy car". It's my oppinion that the body lines and limited production of this vehicle give it great potential to become a "rare" and sought after tuner car. Oh yeah, and it looks better than a honda too. Guess who that benefits? the guy that bought it to be an inexpensive, economic, family car.

Coldfire
07-24-2006, 01:58 PM
I don't see what the specific year has to do with anything, I'm talking about a model of car, and even if you take the entire 5 year run of the Alero, the production numbers weren't as high as the civic AND it's not being made anymore = smaller market. Ha ha ha.

Alero2k4
07-24-2006, 05:26 PM
You miss the entire point Coldfire. They do not make a 92-95 Civic and the parts are not completely interchangable...thus they do not make that Civic anymore. The fact that the Alero is no longer made is completely irrelevant. Almost every car with an after market is no longer made. Different series=that car is no longer made! BTW, I see more Alero's on the road that almost any other car...

07-24-2006, 08:50 PM
I think that hood would look really good, but of course that was like my first photoshop ever and it looks pretty crappy. I think a regular 96 cobra style hood would look awesome. Or even a ram air cobra hood like that. The cobra R hood is a little too aggressive looking for my taste, but it probably wouldn't be that bad.

07-24-2006, 08:54 PM

i think the 3 hoods that look god on a alero is the cowl hood the camarrow style hood aka the yellow and black ones and a boser hood. now for me i love the look of osv kit now the problem with price i just bought a new car at least on order and my alero is my project/winter car i say try and keep it under 800 and it would screme at 600 and fitment and wavy ness is a key to it selling

AlbinoMonkeyRat

my car was like that for a couple hours. I should have taken a picture of it. Looked kinda funny. hehe

If an Alero has the Z3 fenders and a body kit (read: not stock or Razzi), the Cobra hood would look alright.

the SS Scoop hood would look alright on a razzi kitted alero.

current cowl hood FTW!

You guys are making some excellent points. This is fantastic! You guys will never believe it, but I've already included the cobra hood in my "stack of ideas thus far" the other day when talking with my friend. It was among our favorite hood designs. That's great that you guys already like the idea. To address some concern on the cobra r hood being too much, I think that we're still going to go with stages, so in theory you should be able to find you're happy median somewhere between mild and wild.

Yeah I see alot of them up here too, that is why when we heard olds was being phased my buddy was like, "god all I see everywhere I look is alero's oldsmobile can't have been doing that badly", but if you look up NATIONWIDE the production actually was way down and found out that minnesota was #3 state for buying olds, hence why we DO see quite a few...there aren't as many of them in the world as you think, I've even heard other members of this site say that they've NEVER seen an alero besides their own, hence why I believe there is a smaller market for the alero than even a single year of the godawful civic

Ok guys, here's what we're thinking. 1st we'll do an OSV style lip kit (front lip, side skirts, and OSV inspired rear vallance, because the osv alero has a center exit exhaust, it'll have to be different). This will be the Stage I Alero body kit. 2nd, we'll do an OSV style full kit (front bumper, side skirts, and osv inspired rear bumper and rear spoiler. This will be the Stage II Alero body kit. All components will be offered individually or in a full kit. Once we have these first two kit stages done, we'll move to hoods. The first hood has not yet been selected but I assume that It will likely be "cobra" inspired. All of the pieces offered will be in stages, from mild to wild, and demand will determine how sick your alero can be. I don't yet know what kind of prices we're looking at, but start saving your pesos because they probably wont be cheap.

yup, and I already posted a link in another thread to the Corvette dual center exhaust that looks SIMILAR to the original OSV outlet. Maybe you can use that as a template and/or possibly offer it in the kit?

powerlifter812
08-03-2006, 09:10 AM
We hope to have the stage I and stage II kits and maybe 1 hood option available by christmas. By my calculations, we should be right around one month per kit stage (for the less extreme kits). This gives us time to create our prototype, perfect it, make a mold, and get a little inventory so that you guys don't have to wait. As far as the center exit exhaust, i'm still working on that one. I have to build a bumper that can accomidate many different types of exhaust layout. Currently I feel that the best option will likely be to offer an additional bolt on "center exit" piece for those of you going with a center exit exhaust.

powerlifter812

Not to my knowledge, we are not selling it as a GM piece, we're selling it as an aftermarket accessory that happens to bolt on to a GM vehicle.

powerlifter812
12-03-2006, 05:01 PM
I thought this would be a good time to update you on our progress. We got pushed back a few weeks on prototyping so I don't think that we'll make our Christmas goal. I appologize for the inconvenience, it ended up costing me just under $20,000 for prototyping so we had to adjust our game plan a little. However, I said that I would make this happen, and I WILL. We are currently working on our OSV front bumper prototype (yes, I said OSV), we hope to have it ready for "examination" within the next few weeks. To avoid lawsuits however, we are making our kit slightly different than the real OSV and we'll obviously have to re-name it. Things are progressing very well and I must admit that I am very excited to rub it in your faces when I have an OSV kit before anyone. As a side note, I think that our pricing will be in the $1300 range. OSV is coming.....

Oldsman
12-03-2006, 05:08 PM
for the rear bumper i would recommend doing no cut outs that way for those of us that want center exhaust can do it and for those that have dual can do it.

I've not fallen off the planet just yet (so don't get your hopes up silent... just kidding). As I stated earlier, I had to come up with 20 grand to make the molds, then there's all the time involved in calculation, scaling (for a more accurate piece), and creating molds before we even get to make one piece. The person that is building my molds said that they should have the OSV front lip done early this next week. Assuming that everything goes well, I'll start pulling pieces off it immediately thereafter. I've not decided how to price these units yet, so I think that I'll probably throw the first one on ebay, this will give you an opportunity to show me your true interest in the finished piece. The more bids it gets, the more we'll make. If it doesn't bid well however, these things will probably be on the expensive side of things. I'll update you when I know more. YES, I'll give you guys forewarning before I put these on ebay. Also, if things go well we'll have a web site up soon to make ordering easier for you guys.

$20,000 dollars for a mold? Is it made out of ancient egyptian gold or something? lol :) Anyways, shouldn't you post a pic of what it would look like first before you start production? What if it is ugly and no one wants one, isn't it risky finacially? Do you have a prototype made yet? What material are you using?

Anything on that "OSV" kit?

powerlifter812
01-26-2007, 09:32 PM
Sorry I'm not bringing you pictures yet, beleive me I want to. The prototyping process is taking longer than expected, the people doing it for me were having some problems with a few measurements and angles. I will let you guys know more next week when they "assure me" they'll have something cut and ready for me to look at. Now to adress a few questions. The reason for the $20,000 prototyping is simple, $40 per hour, 100 hours per piece (avg.), 5 pieces (front, 2 sides, rear, wing), plus materials. As far as your concerns about the finished look of the piece, this thing should look very much like the osv pictures we're all so familiar with. And on the investment side of things, this is a highly sought after piece, after careful calculation we decided that it was worth the investment. Also as a side note, we are making some paintable fiberglass spare tire cover replacements for your trunk to help fund our project. I'll throw them on ebay for around $100 and let you guys know when I do, just in case you want to help out the cause or if you're looking for a nice way to finish off your trunk area.

If you guys really want to make some money, you should do what Olds' did and simply copy old Japanese designs ;) Especially look at popular s15 Silvia kits. What the Alero really needs is some agressive 'coke bottle' sideskirts (properly known as rocker panel moldings) There should be a downwards flare in front of the door, and a simular flare starting at the back of the door going down at a constant angle to the bottom of the rear wheelwell. Also, the section underneath the door should be as thin as it can be. Sorry that everyone is busting your balls, but we really got to see it to believe it :)

03-10-2007, 11:13 PM
Hey guys, sorry for the delay. Before I update you, I'd like to thank mrmike for his input, I really do appreciate any new ideas that we may not already be looking at. Now to business, the people that were building me the piece screwed up. It looked like crap and took over a month longer than we'd agreed to, oh yeah, and they wanted to charge me FIVE TIMES our original agreed upon price. Needless to say we're no longer doing business with them. We did however put an agreement in place with a very qualified composites person that is currently working on the front lip. He has a rough cut already completed and I must admit, it's starting to look very good. I asked him for a time estimate and he said that he should have a finished plug in a couple of weeks. I truly do appologize for the wait on this piece, I want it finsihed even more than you guys do. As soon as he has the plug done, I'll get you guys pictures. As a side note, I appreciate your critisizms in terms of this sounding like bull, or a hoax and your warnings to people not to send me any money until I have a finished piece. I do however want you guys to realize that I have done NO "Pre-Sales" or "group buys" or anything of that nature. Myself and my business partners are funding this project independently, and I'll not offer you a product before I have one available. I look forward posting the finished pictures for you guys and to offering you my website address where you can purchase this kit shortly thereafter.
Thank you guys for your support.

Thank you oldsnut for correcting my posting error. The first kit that we offer will be a lip kit. We will offer just the front lip as soon as it is finished, then offer the full lip kit including the wing. We will probably follow this with a hood. Then we'll move to a "tuner style" kit for the alero. We are also working on kits for the 350Z and the new eclipse right now as well as a plethora of misc. appearance and performance parts for all 3 cars. I'm not sure how many of them will actually make it to market, but they are definately in develpment.

back bumper is sick, front just looks like a stocker with downsyndrome


I have to agree with that, it gives some great lines to the car. Its not too much extravagent but yet really sporty. That rear end is absolutely wonderful.

Anyone know why they decided not to take this car under production? Even maybe some parts of it? Or even create an aftermaket?

yes i do. it was the 2001 OSV with the 250hp 3.5 shortstar. this was what the production model would have looked like except maybe color. but what you will notice is wing and rockers are not molded but bolt ons also not brembos on the rear.

this is the OSV i got the suspension, wheels, and brakes from.

shortstar? u mean northstar maybe?

ShortStar was the nickname given to the 3.5l LX5 V6 used in the Intrigue, Aurora and the green Alero OSV.

GM gave Oldsmobile approval to produce the OSV in Nov. 2000 and then in Dec. 2000 GM annouced the closing of Olds.

So Oldsmobiles plans were to make the car and then also offer the OSV parts thru the dealer so anyone could make an OSV. They had the right idea. But GM killed it.

man that suckssssss, I would love for the alero still be in market with a speacial edition alero (osv) giving our aleros a class of supremeness. As for aftermarket osv parts for the alero why the hell not, i mean what does GM have against the Alero, the alero had a great body shape and look. One thing I see wrong was its sporty look without a sporty engine. They should have mass-produced it with the high output parts from the 2.3 engine. It sucks 2 see the alero go away just like the Integra, I heard Honda is doing away with the Integra type R, and keeping a civic type R instead. I hope the alero makes a come back atleast as a Chevy Alero:p

well marc said his setup was like $3k+ and i know a few people didn't pay that for air.

a juice kit runs around 1000 bucks... but its not a bolt on kit. so techically the extra money involved is getting someone to fab up upper and lower mounts. Also making a hydro pump rack in the trunk.

While the alero air struts.. miniminum direct bolt up basic setup will be around 1800 bucks.

plus it depends on what setup ya go with, i mean i added the accums and they were $400 alone, then the 4 cut off switches ran up another $200, so the parts can add up quickly to

The lip plug is pretty much finished as far as shape, we still need to finish coating it so that we can pull a mold. I'll get you guys some more pictures once it has a unified color coating. We have the lip secured to the factory bumper and are trying to decide weather or not to just skip the lip and go for the full bumper. At the top of the lip, where it meets the bumper on the front side, the area is so thin that I'm affraid that we may run into problems with the finished piece being too brittle. I don't want you guys putting these things on your car and having them chip if they get flexed a little too much. As long as we don't run into any problems in our next few sessions, I think that we're going to build the lip anyway and do some extensive testing on it before we release it, i.e. high speed, low impact, vibrations, etc.. Sorry for the wait, I know you guys are eager, but I want to make sure that you are getting a high quality piece and not some low budget piece of crap shipped in from over-seas.

Hey guys, sorry for the LONG delay. We finished the lip that you see in the pictures above and tested it. Then we sold the design to a Canadian company that refuses to sell them here in the US. Just kidding. The results of our testing were not satisfactory. We had some structural problems with the piece at high speeds in windy conditions. As I've said before, we will not offer some "made in china" junk, we will only offer high quality pieces. We have re-designed our structural areas of concern and are in the finishing stages of this prototype and with any luck, this one won't crack at 100+ mph. Again, I appologize for not logging on sooner to update you, I've been at the shop working with my team trying to remedy the problems we had with the first piece. We're also in the early stages of a fiberglass hood with and without a ram-air feature, and we're working on some fiberglass fenders. We'll be releasing some paintable fiberglass spare tire covers late this month or early next month on ebay as well, I'll let you know when I do it. Our website is also just about complete so we won't have to do the ebay thing for long. Thank you all for your support and patients.

He is right, in a multiple choice vote, it can be over 100% total votes because you can vote for more than one at a time. So technically, if everyone picked all 5 choices and voted, the total would be 500%.

We'll be doing the side skirts the same style as the OSV. We're currently thinking that for the rear, we'll do a center exit just like the OSV and a dual side exit with a center bolt in piece that looks OSV. We're also negotiating a deal with a local shop to build center exit cat backs for us, but it's in the early "EXPENSIVE" stages. Just as an FYI, I'm also looking for FEMALE models for our 2008 calendar, if you know anyone have them send a picture and an email to modelsearch@neverdoneusa.com and I'll give them the details. Because you guys have been so supportive I'm thinking of offering a special pricing structure to aleromod members for a short time after we release the OSV lip as an appreciation. Thank you guys again, and I'll update you again with the results of this new lip and with our progress on the other parts I described earlier. Thank you again.

I feel your pain brotha, that is the downside to having a part of Olds history.
You can do subtle mods that can be swapped out with another set of parts such as headlights, tailights, wheels and tires or easily removed parts that won't permanently change your car.
