I need a new set of wipers and i want to get a grill insert. I have a white 2 door alero and want to know what color combination would look the best.
1. Red wipers and red grill
2. Blue wipers and blue grill
3. Chrome wipers and chrome grill
Thanks for your opinions

i'll vote for regular wipers and no grill. i dont really care for the grill, and colored wipers look gay.

i have a white 2dr too, although i don't have grills yet...my opinion is this, what's the color of your interior or any other color than white on the exterior? consider a scheme.... if you have chrome rims maybe all chrome or in my case, i have a blue scheme going with my car so i would do blue... remember only you have to like it, just no honda impressions :thumbsup:

i dont like colored wipers. Very rice.
ESPECIALLY dont like fake chrome ones, Becuase you know they arent real chrome....
keep the grille non colored. Like silver or chrome or black or white.
Again this is my opinion, and u asked :)

Thanks for the input and now that i think about i think im just going to get a chrome grill and not change the wipers and if i do get wipers id get the chrome color.
By the way can anyone recomend any other visual upgrades(interior or exterior) that are under 50 bucks and are relative easy to do.

Paint your interior trim. do a search for "painting interior" (or a variation of...) and you will find some useful info.

under 50, you can do the paint or you can go on ebay and check out the halo gauges.......

colored wiper blades are very... um... 1989.... so stay away from them.
Custom Car Grilles has a variety of grill mesh you might want to check out.

I have to agree with everybody get the grille but not the wipers.
But don't the wipers add about 45 HP? :lol: :P

I thought the wipers might look cool but i deff dont want a honda look. So ya i think im going to get the grill and im checking out some new custom gauges maybe someting like www.speedhut.com
Are they hard to put in and could someone with almost no experience do it?

the gauges were pretty easy to install......the only pain in the butt part for me was to get the cutouts to line up with the stock ones.

hahahehelolol... you're the poop redog :lol: .... okay, under $50 price to work woth <_< .... you could paint your calipers and/or paint your tails and heads, not to mention clearing the corners (if not already done)... :thumbsup:... oh yeah, you could remove the stock pinstripping, makes a big visual difference

I want to do the clear corners mod, but i am very cautious about doing it because i dont want to ruin the lights and end up paying for new ones.
dopey

my colored wipers made my car hella fast. i can beat vipers now.
i think if u just paint a regular set of wipers a nice color that goes well with ur car it will look good. but if u buy those giant red or blue or chrome double wiper sets.... ya those look tacky.
im actually suprised no1 has ever made a comment to my about my wipers..

It's hard to tell in the pics that they are colored... but you might need to get a spoiler/wing to keep your car on the ground.... With all that HP you know! :D

Clear corners are legal right? I thought i saw something about them being illegal because of the color of the blinker bulb or something. Anyone know?

In California, Turn signals must be white or yellow to the front, red or yellow to the rear.
Vehicle Code # - 24953 VC
So in Cali, clear is cool!

yes, they definately can be illegal... like mine :thumbsup:... but cops are somewhat easy to deal with around here, so i don't care, if i get stopped then i'll consider changing to a legal color.
