Here are some pictures I took today of my 2000 black Alero. In the process of murdering it out. Going to paint the rims black one day, maybe. The pictures were taken with my iPhone. There's a couple of scratches on it because of my brother who didn't give a shit when he drove it around. There's also two chips on the hood that aren't TOO noticeable but they're still there. The only mods I really have are I put a new set of Alpine Type S speakers in the front, Alpine Type R's in the rear deck, and I have JL 12 inch sub in the trunk. I tinted the windows to a "22%" and I tinted the tails myself (need to put a gloss coat on them) and I bought headlight covers from a member on the forums. I also have some kind of old Pioneer head unit that I'm going to get rid of get a new one soon, hopefully. Hope you guys like it. Let me know what you think.

Im just afraid of taking the dealer ship sticker off because I don't want there to be any like paint ripped off or anything. Also are the back emblems glued on or do they like clip in or whatever

I'm planning on painting the chrome shit around the windows this weekend actually. I totally forgot about that until like like last night. Haha. I think I might get a grill to put in front of the fogs and the middle hole. I was gonna paint the grill black. Not sure though.

lol. no. it won't rip off paint. use fishing line or string or a credit card material to saw off the emblems, then use goo gone to ditch the goo.

you can use the black plastic gutter mesh if you want as a cheap black grille insert

I like it! I always wanted to murder mine. Yeah, just do those fogs, the chrome trim, and put some black rims on, and it will be done.

looks good, but the dealer sticker needs to go. it won't flake paint we do it every day where i work. just use a rubber eraser, we got one that goes in a power drill and it works slick. thats what i used to get the sticky stuff off my car after i took off the side moldings too.

08-20-2008, 01:41 PM
Yeah, I'll take off the emblems this weekend, then. Would've done it today after work but my car just died in the parking lot at my job. :( Brakes are locked up and it wont start. Any ideas?

I thought tinted d/s and p/s front windows were illegal in NJ.

Not my style, but it looks like a good start

They'll think twice when they realize they're pulling over a relative of a captain, nephew of a homicide detective, and a cousin to like 4 other cops.

Not really.


You could be the pope. I'd still write you a ticket.


Customers call me wanting credits on their account because they're husbands died and it was for usage on his phone...


Sorry, he used it.

Shoulda bought a bluetooth headset from me, maybe you'd still have a husband if he wasn't talking on his phone.

Trust me. I've gotten out of shit much worse than having tinted windows. But anyway, my friend said it could be the alternator. I'm going to get a new battery and see what happens.

08-21-2008, 08:03 PM
Got the new battery. It's fine. I bought one last year but it turns out my brother swapped his with mine for some reason and I guess I never noticed. Haha. All is well. :D

Did I mention I'm becoming a police officer within the next couple of months?

Anyway, police have more important things to deal with than a kid with lightly tinted front windows.

Yeah, I was looking through your thread and thinking about getting your emblem. I know what a true murder job is. I'm just lazy. :/ I have a feeling my alero is going to crap out within the next year. I've been having a lot of problems with it lately so I don't know if I feel like spending anymore money on it anyway. :/ The only other mods I'd do if any are get hid's, tint the fogs, and paint the rims black.

Before everyone starts bashing me about painting the stock alero rims, I've seen my friends and they came out awesome, actually. You just have to do it right. His look pretty sick. I'll try to get a picture one day if I can.
