Very well-executed. I particulalry like the lights, both front and rear.

not bad at all to be honest it just doesnt sit flush with the rest of the car it sticks out liek a few centermeters like i wanna say 3

-Alero-

07-30-2007, 09:40 PM

and i think scheme wise the chrome rims went with the chrome headlights and the dark headlights go with the dark rims

sorry kyle couldnt afford the 2 door :( ????????!!!!!!!???? :(

05-14-2008, 02:56 PM

I was thinking about doing the same thing you did with the front marker and turn lights. How well do they show with a black background?

-Alero-

05-14-2008, 04:17 PM

huh? i have amber LED turnsignals.......they show up just fine......

kwhauck

05-14-2008, 07:03 PM

sorry kyle couldnt afford the 2 door :( ????????!!!!!!!???? :(

Hey I rocked a sedan to begin with now i'm on my second coupe....probably would have stuck with a sedan just for family but we weren't gonna start a family for awhile and now I got the bravada......

bizarre179

05-14-2008, 07:06 PM

huh? i have amber LED turnsignals.......they show up just fine......

Just wondering if you ever got any trouble from cops for not having reflective material behind the leds. They look good none the less.

Doesn't matter because the Alero sedan's look better than the coupes.

Obviously the sedan is better looking. Look at the damn side window of the coupe. The coupe is so off balanced. The sedan looks more bad ass.

adam337

05-14-2008, 07:32 PM

the sedan is square and gay.

bizarre179

05-14-2008, 07:48 PM

^I wouldnt go as far as saying that... but I think the coupe is better looking but the sedan is a pretty good looking car.

adam337

05-14-2008, 07:49 PM

well.. i didnt mean the entire car is square and gay. just the back side mirror..

The X on your hand

http://www.straight-edge.net/skins/Blaster07/img/sxe_net2.jpg

Straight edge is a promise to yourself against Drugs, Alcohol, Premarital Sex and Smoking. They use the X to identify each other. Normally Emo kids and Scenesters do it. Some other people also believe that you have to be vegetarien or vegan as well, this isn't the case though... any ways You obviously your not..

Haha obviously you don't know the history at all.
Look up Minor Threat.

Hardcore started it and emo used it as a trend haha.

Anyways love the car.
Looks great.

It's promiscuous not premarital. The 'X' on the hand is now used to be scene, but wasn't always. Originally hardcore people did it, but of course it lingers down into the new age screamo generation. I am "edge" and "emo." Nice X's rapeing your name bro.

-Alero-

05-18-2008, 07:00 PM

lolz the x on my hand meant i could drink at the club i went to the previous night, they marked it not me :P

anyways theanks for the compliments, soon to come is the osv kit and im buying my friends WORK emotion wheels, so its gonna be ballin out of control here in like a month

TheAftermath

05-18-2008, 08:33 PM

Haha bar/venue places put circles on ours cause hardcore guys get mad if they have X's from the bouncers and aren't edge.

But hot damn that car with an OSV kit will look niiiiice.

-Alero-

05-18-2008, 09:27 PM

especially with these wheels :P

alerored04

05-18-2008, 11:21 PM

Those look very similat to the one I will be purchasing soon. That will look great in that color with the OSV. Good job.

Cliff8928

05-19-2008, 01:48 AM

Yeah, they're really similar to the OSV wheels (for a good reason, same manufacturer)

-Alero-

05-19-2008, 03:08 PM

gonna be sweet

I agree with everything he said...... sedan is MUCH better than the 2 door.

Blender345

05-19-2008, 06:34 PM

I like the coupe but I think most everyone is a tad partial, especially if it is something they own. But I like both, prefer the coupe prolly just because I own one and I love it but hey, not takin anything away from the sedan. Maybe a poll would settle this war? :)

TheEdgeofSanity

05-19-2008, 07:27 PM

i own a 4 door and wish everyday that it was a coupe.

TheAftermath

05-20-2008, 12:32 AM

Four door ftw.

Cliff8928

05-20-2008, 12:39 AM

I like the coupe for two reasons. It's less like a grand am, and the quarter window is reminiscent of the old cutlasses (like that 72 pic above).

kwhauck

05-20-2008, 03:02 PM

not being biased because I have owned both and the two doors look much better......

-Alero-

05-20-2008, 03:57 PM

so i mean like should i get my car crushed?

oh yea, i love soccer mom cars. the next car im getting is a dodge caravan SPORT! yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. i think your car looks more like a soccer mom car than mine:lol:

Hey -Alero- how did you apply the tint on your tail lights? is it on the inside? I love the look. My alero is all back and i think i would look sweet.

-Alero-

06-01-2008, 03:15 PM

i used vinyl tint from lamin-x.com and i used spray tint for my reverse lights, since i didnt have enough tint, and then over time.....i guess waxing tail lights and sunlight caused the reverse lights to sort of fade...so now they look alot more normal.... i mgith have to redo it sigh or just fork out the cash for some more lamin-x tint

it was all applied to the outside

yea....hes saying a 4 door car is a soccer mom car. Some of the NICEST aleros on this site are 4 doors.... 2 door aleros just dont look right.

4 doors is more practical, telling a car is a soccer mom's car is saying the car is practical in a kidding way. I agree with you that on this site, in the best looking aleros, theres a lot of 4 doors, but they are modded. If you take 2 stock Alero, one sedan and one coupe, I prefer the coupe. Any car can be badass with some work.

The OSV Alero was a 2 door, enuff said. :p

06-01-2008, 08:42 PM

xXMahanXcorEXx maybe u should: stop being emo, start slingin some coke around ur streets, get ur bank up, (or get a job. hmm..cuz your 17 and your practically an adult), then maybe u can put ur money where ur mouth is and actually see if ur car comes out 1/8th as good as billy's cuz right now u cant shake a stick at his "Soccer Mom Car As You Like To Classify sedans" and since words don't mean a damn when you have nothing but a painted engine and a flippen cone filter...btw.. dude how did $30 rape ur wallet? no offence but thats about a half tank of gas... so u must have that killer coupe of yours parked alot if u dont have $30 to spend.

Not tryen to be a dick or anything just tryen to teach you that u shouldn't diss other peoples shit especially when their shit is better than yours...

yah man I agree totally I watched a SRT-4 rape a GTO after the guy in the gto started talking shit at a red light. like the 4 killed him off the line and it was over in no time. it was actually funny as hell because they were both modded and the guy in the 4 was like 17 and the guy in the GTO was like 50.

neon or not I'd take an SRT-4 just to mess around in cuz those can hull balls if built right
