alluminum wings right or wrong you decide

[alan2.4]

Ok i know im really new here but i have a question about some threads ive been reading about how alluminum wings like horrible on aleros. i personally have a 2000 2.4 auto im in the midst of making my own. no ive thought of taking the wing off completely(stock spoiler) and going for that classy look clean. ive also thought about going for obviously fiberglass (not to big something fitting) but im also considering alluminum wing nothing cheap and fugly looking but ive come across and alero with an alluminum wing i dont think looks half bad at http://www.cardomain.com/ride/832061 pritty nice looking alero i think the wing looks decent. now i have all winter to think of this i just wanted some in put on how u guys think the wing looks on this alero. in my opinion not half bad looking may be an option for me. i not nessissarily making my desision but i think it may be considered speak your mind...

[jackal2000]

lmao ha i didnt read that one yet but yes i agree with the shitty engine moding and paint job to boot but im refering to the wing... i think fiberglass is looking better just wanted to see what everyone els is thinking i may leen toward no wing i like the classy look(as i call it) just plain clean

[billytheman1188]

An alero without a spoiler isnt good looking UNLESS, you do work to your alero and make it look nice. but i like the stock spoiler, i also like the razzi one too.

The big wings are gay on almost every car. stick with the stock spoiler or the clean look.....just dont do the big gay spoilers PLEASEEEElol

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

only cars that big spoilers DON'T look gay on are Supras and Vipers...and that's if they are the curved ones. ;)

[Redog]

Wrong!

Didn't even read your post, didn't have to, the title said it all

you wont find a wing on my car....

[Satsuriku]

that was got to be the fugly'est engine modding i had ever seen in my life. come on, a blind dude with no arms can do a better job and even then he'll look at that go say "oh christ, the hell is that!! im already blind, dont need to be blinded again!!"

Id have to disagree on that statement. I think an alero without a spoiler looks good even if it hasn't had work done to it. Of course I like the smooth look of a car were you can actually see the curves of the car throughout its entirety. Of course that may just be me. I wouldn't put any spoiler on your car. Just go without one. A spoiler isn't going to help out with anything, because you aren't going to be going fast enough for the downforce in the rear to matter. IMO...

I *gasp* have an aluminum spoiler on mine, but it's actually painted correctly and is not fifty feet tall, so it looks alright. Pair it with some nice 18 inch wheels and the AAS body kit and it looks real sleek.

my personal opinion, no wing other than the stock wing looks good at all. aluminum wings all look like crap, always have, always will.

Can some people who actually have a gay looking spoiler post some pics up of it???? cause i need to laugh a littlelol

It just looks bad if the car is stock and there is no spoiler. if u lower it and put some rims on it, it will look good. but a stock alero and no spoiler looks like ass in my opinion. i know my spoiler doesnt do shit, but i just like the look of it

[Redog]

Yeah a spolier on a FWD car serves no function, just looks good, a stock one anyway

Post a pic. A aftermarket spoiler can look good if it's tasteful. An aluminum one would have to be painted. The bare finish doesn't look good IMO. I like the clean look with no wing as well!

[kwhauck]

Very Very Wrong!!!!

[2fst4u]

if you want to be unique, mold in a three piece lip spoiler like on the osv. or go razzi. i'd sell you my stock spoiler for dirt cheap, tho.

[[ion] C2]

Again, opinions are everything. Some people hate stock, some people even hate factory spoilers (that strip of fiberglass just looks bad to me), and some people hate aluminums. All in all, everyone loves their own car with their own style, and that's how it's going to be no matter what you own. It took me months to find the one that most fit the car, as 95% look horrible. I'll put up an image tomorrow when I can grab a shot during the day.

To each his own. I think that the stock spoiler looks like ass. Just looks a little out of place imo. and aluminum is definetly out of the question. I like slick look. period. but yea. ill stop posting now lol....

[smlzalero]

If you add an aluminum park bench, you should put on some of THIS (http://www.aleromod.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14332&highlight=aluminum+tape) too. That way you'll acheive the uniformity of the completely gay look you're going for.

yea no spoiler looks stupid on stock aleros. okkkk its over with.

I agree, I absolutely agree. no aluminum wing flows with any car, plus they are absolutely pointless. it looks even worse due to the fact its the only thing you have done to your car....

[[ion] C2]

@kwhauck: To each their own. To you, you like 100% stock externals, modified internals. Me, I prefer exterior styling to getting strip performance, especially at my mileage.

@troyertrain: Pointless? Not really. I like how it looks, and spoilers do in fact add a little more downforce on the rear. (Not the reason I have it, I know it's minimal) Sure our cars are front wheel drive, but rear traction is still good.

[NoSweat83]

Not to get off topic but this guy has a nismo sticker under his hood. :eek:

And he's got a NOS sticker under there though he has a Nitrous Express kit...

If you were going to do NAWS!! and a wing, shoulda done rims first :rolleyes2:

Never made fun of yours; just didn't like your egotistical views of your own car, and hate for anything but a stock looking car. That and assuming everyone says "naws." :p

You know, I was all for the aluminum at first. But after seeing that pic. I think I have second thoughts about it. That thing looks nasty. Man thats ugly. Sorry man, Not on an alero.

[Redog]

Never made fun of yours; just didn't like your egotistical views of your own car, and hate for anything but a stock looking car. That and assuming everyone says "naws." :p

Egotistical? :wtf2: OK I don't really understand how I am.

It took me just under 5 years to build up this car to where it is now, and after all the reseach, dead ends, and lots of money, I have a NA Alero that runs a pretty good time in the 1/4 mile. About 1.5 seconds over stock. So you view the pride in someone's work as egotistical, then my friend you really have serious issues.

Some people here think that I think my car is the fastest in the world, Like I could kick the shit out of a Viper and that's not true. I know what I can match, beat, kick the shit out of, and kick the shit out of me. I beat, not killed, a Mustang the day I ran 14.53 in the 1/4. In the vs Mustang run, I run a 14.67 which at that point was the fastest run to date. As I pulled up to the line, the Mustang guy's buddies where in the stands and actually said "HA HA HA It's a fucking Alero, Joey (or whatever the guy's name was) will kick his ass" They kept laughing after my burnout, but I killed him in reaction. I had a nice .066 to his like .500 something, and he ran a 15.05. Yes it was a Mustang convertible V8, but still, I knew I could beat him, and I did. The Mustang coupe runs mid 14.6, and of course we are talking totally stock. But I guess is a guy got a 14.6 Mustang to 12.9 you'd respect him more than me, right?

I deal with guys like you all the time, well maybe not you as a person, but the attidute that your car puts out. Stock car, stock wheel covers, a few stickers, and a park bench for a spolier, and automaticly that car can beat every car on the road. It's magically transformed into a 7 second street legal car. I get these jackass kids pulling up next to me in Civics, or where I live now, Corvettes, and mocking me and wanting a race, right here, right now. I gave that shit up because street racing is assine. You stop racing at one point becuase you won, then the other guy races past you and then he won. Plus the variables, car, people, animals, etc etc etc.

You started on the basis that I ripped on a few pics of an Alero, claiming to have a 13.5 @104 1/4 mile time and I call him out basicly becuase he was wrong on many factors.

Mopar does not make parts for GM cars, but he has Mopar stickers under his hood, and you said he probably had the parts fabed in.

NX bottle in the back seat, with no visibal hook-up under the hood. Ricers call spray (or Nitrous Oxide) NAWS! Becuase they are too stuipd and Fast and Furious programed to know that NOS means Nitrous Oxide Systems which is that name of the company.

13.5 @ 104 in the 1/4 mile. You said I was wrong in that not adding up. Been going to the track for over 3 years now, seen lots of races, 13.5 is usually about 108 in the 1/4. Plus the car to pretty much a stock motor (intake and exhaust are done) and it runs faster than any other Alero out there. So I call him out, and I'm the one with an ego problem. You are so far out in left field it's not even funny.

I will say this about your car. The paint on the spoiler looks good, but overall, it still looks like ass. If you were going to add the park bench, shoulda added rims first. That is advice, not an ego trip.

Everybody has the chioce to take the correct path, the easy way, or the bullshit way. But if you choose the easy or Bullshit way, don't step to me!

maken my wiener soft

[Redog]

Also something else I forgot about

about a year or 2 ago, I posted over on GAGT.com that I was hoping to run in the 14's soon, and the car was running the the low 15's.

All those GA guys started there shit saying "An Alero can't run faster than 15.5 no matter what you do to it, only GA's can run faster than 15 flat.

So I call them all out, they came out, I ran 14.98 before they all showed up, and show them all the timeslip, then I ran a 14.99 in front of all of them.

Yet to this day, they doubt that I'm running what I say. That's not an ego son, grow up

[Cliff8928]

Yeah a spolier on a FWD car serves no function, just looks good, a stock one anyway

In rare instances a spoiler on a FWD car can do some good, like how they added them on the Audi TT.

[Redog]

Isn't the Audi TT and AWD car?

[[ion] C2]

Alright, alright, I know, Redog, I do really like what you've done with your car, and all the work you put into it to make it what it is today. I'm not one of those guys who thinks or acts on the road like his car is a 7 second monster; I just like the visuals. I drive like an old man, lol. After looking closer at the under the hood pictures of Kyle's Alero, I had second thoughts. (Especially after seeing the NOS sticker and others that had no reason to be there) Personally I've never been to the track, I only asked about the quarter mile time/speed because I was trying to think of it logically rather than from experience, and didn't think 4MPH was too much of a difference to tell whether or not he was lying. Haven't been around AleroMod.com long enough to know your background, so from the "I wanna race him" posts all over I've seen, it'd appear as if you had a filled ego. :P Sorry about my uninformed comments..

Hey Ion my little girl wants to know when you're returning her erector set

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

THE only instance that a spoiler on a FWD car make a good difference is on lightweight race cars that go on the twisties.

I saw a vid of a civic race car during a race bounce up because it had no spoiler.
..it hit the rumble strip on the side of the track and the back end jumped up more than it seemed it should have.

and the red alero with ONLY a wing looks like garbage. at least when Joel had a wing on his car, it also had a body kit, springs (or was it the era of the coilover?) and rims.

[[ion] C2]

Yeah, I know, which is why I'm so twitchy waiting for the ability (money) to get that. :)

I really cant say that I like the wing. To me it kinda looks like a grown-up eagle talon to me. I think you should lose the wing.

When You install the aluminum Wing dont forget to put on the stick-on Japanese symbols & fart can muffler & ghetto spinners & the wide wheel well chrome & also the curb feelers!!!!
