Tails look good. Wheels look good, would look better lowered but you know that. I am ignoring your instructions cause you need to hear it, THE SPOILER LOOKS LIKE SHIT!!! Sorry but it is for your own good.

I'll withhold the rest.

not a fan of the tail lights.. but it looks like you did a decent job on them. (hard to tell if its a uniform color/texture from that far away)
and isn't that the same kinda spoiler ionc2 had?? maybe it just looks similar. whatever. as long as you like it.

If you are to shave the inner tails and replace the blinker by your backup lights for real, well it will look ok, but for now, the inner tail not being the same black as the black on the outter tail just isnt right.
And I'm with everyone on that spoiler, its goddamn ugly and doesnt flow with the rest of the car. You have to talk to Ion, so he can talk to you about his way out of the dark side.
By the way, that trunk you are doing Bdyman will be VERY nice. I really cant wait to see that. I'll take one in black plz !

tails are a lot better if completely tinted..... that just looks bad in my opinion.... The car is starting to get the ricer feel to it..... with that tail pipe and spoiler. lol if anything, get a different tail pipe and tint the entire tails.

spoiler is not bad.. would look pretty good if you had the AAS body kit, paired with those black rims, and lowered.
i hate tinted tails, but the customized version you did is pretty nasty, either all the way or nothing.
NickAlero2000
04-25-2008, 10:37 AM
tails are getting re-tinted on the inners so they are the same darkness, wing may be coming off, im getting my friends trunk with the razzi wing...

would look better if the black line followed all the way onto the trunk lid lights. im staying off the spoiler cause its your car.......

^you said the spoiler looked good in his first thread lol

04-25-2008, 10:47 AM
me?
I love it, but when i was wing shopping the Razzi was too expensive to paint it and everything...
my friend has a red car and just offered it to me....
idk if ill actually do it, but i love my aluminum wing :)

forgot to mention that im doing a full custom cat-back out of 2.25'' steel piping, so the fart-can will be retracted to under the bumper, you'll only see the tip like ur supposed to
lol

maybe its just the two pics or somthing, cause im just not feeling it, but yea it would look better with a drop and kit, but in stock form ion those to pics,,,not so much,,,,,,,,,

The razzi wing is the wing that fits the most our car, good choice. And if the tails on the inner are the same darkness than the ones on the outside, it will look good, even if you leave the blinker and brake light as they are now, well I think lol.

lol, those lights are looooong gone...I'm in AnderbrA's group buy for LED tails now.
I loved 'em when I had 'em, but no way in hell they would have passed inspection in July, they made running lights not visible (I used black paint b/c it was cheaper and looked better). But it blocked out my runners, so I stripped the paint, never put it back.

those lights were nasty anyway. i tend to dislike any modified taillights especially altezza/clear ones, as those are instant ricification.

NickAlero2000

originally the intent was to do an inner tail light delete and turn the amber ones white. They were going to double function as backup/turn signal.
I still may do that part, but not to these tails.

Other people had posted here, and it was on the front page, so i figured it was new.

no.. i mean why do you post with big font different from everyone else
[ion] C2
09-23-2008, 08:02 PM
seriously
KenshinZero
09-23-2008, 08:09 PM
O, lol cause i like the font. having all the same size and style is boring, I like to be different, stand out, that's why i decided to modify an Alero, because its different, not as popular, as say, a honda, or nissan, maybe it's me.
[ion] C2
09-23-2008, 08:16 PM
should be different and stand out by your words not your appearance lol

That is funny, other forums get pissed off when noobs ask the same questions over and over and mods merge threads to old threads to keep things tidy. Here people are pissed when threads that are 5 months old are replied to. I guess we all have different things that irritate us.

I said, "those lights are looooong gone", yet I still get people who comment things like "Looks good, or Looks like s$^#"
LET IT DIE...or lock it and MAKE it die....
and yes, I see others do this and find it funny, but I know where they are coming from.

10-05-2008, 06:54 PM
just curious if you have a side profile pic of the whole car, to the see the wing from the side....how high it is and how it sits....

I see your point. That is why my POS is bone stock, so no one can criticize. Well they can criticize the stocki-ness of it, I suppose... :p

Too bad I'm not a mod. I see a lot of threads I'd lock or intervene in. Or edit for typographical or clarity reasons. :)

10-05-2008, 07:19 PM
sorry, this puts me in a horrible mood, its not ur fault kwhauck, the other damn n00bs are...pisses me off...someone put the lock on this already
