[travis-alero]

Hey i got two new decals on my windshield and rear window. Tell me if they look good. I got them in Metallic Silver. (To match my car).

Now everyone will be able to tell it's an Olds Alero. Good thing you have those massive stickers on there in case anyone didn't know what kind of car it was.

[travis-alero]

Wow. . . thanks

[[ion] C2]

No problem. Most people don't like those types of stickers, FYI. For the exact reasons in my post above. It's like, duh, it's an Alero, no need to further blast it out there. I see so many Civics, Mustangs, etc. with "MUSTANG" and "HONDAAAAAAAAA" on their windshields and such.

No shit.

Oh yeah, constructive: Should've gotten an "Aleromod.com" sticker, that way it has the Olds logo, advertises the site, and still says "Alero" in it so you remember what car you drive when you walk up to it. :)

Tell me if they look good.
You asked, I told you. No whining. :lol:

[travis-alero]

Its all good. I asked what you guys thought of it. And you have your opinion. I, however, like it.
I got it to let people know I'm proud of what i drive. THAT I LIKE MY CAR. But your soooo right.
I'm doing the VIP thing, so i should be getting that one Aleromod.com sticker anyway.

lol, your a douche. but you do have a point, no need to put a huge sticker on the window. BUUUUUUUUUUUUT, IF YOU LIKE IT THATS ALL THAT MATTERS!!!:coolio:

[[ion] C2]

That's all that matters, lulz.

And lol I know I've been ripping on people lately. But people are doing some pretty lame things. Everyone I know can't stand make/model stickers on windshields/rear windows.

im going to put the sticker he has on his rear window on my windshield!!! now that sounds like a good idea:yahoo:

[ares89]

dont listen to them lol.. i like it... i was gonna do the same for the back window too.. already have something like what you got on the windshield

[[ion] C2]

Then I guess I'm not "one of those people". Jesus, you act like your the GOD of cars. What you say IS ALL.
Haha, no, I'm just the only one brave enough to say what it is. No one else want's to be put into the negative spotlight and attacked for giving a negative opinion.

:)

[[ion] C2]

Again,
Tell me if they look good.

If you think it looks good why do you care so much that others don't like it? Go ahead, rip on my car, like I care. Neither should you.

oh no..........your starting to sound like sweetnlow...... noooooooooooooooooooooooo:lol::lol::lol:

[[ion] C2]

Shit guys, I'm sorry. I gotta quit raggin' on people. I'll quit posting from now on on anyone's mods I don't like, and let someone else be the first one to say they don't like it so I don't end up being the bad guy.

i miss brent he told it how it was and made a funny for the rest of us

[Gr1m]

i did that but then the mods just banned me for a year

So you have no friends?

[[ion] C2]

What kind of response to the quoted thing I said was that?

[TheMeaningOfLife]

well trooof is, not everyone knows its and olds alero, specailly if you shave the badging like mine!

[Bad99Olds]

gonna hav to back chris up on this one, the fact that the back tells its an olds alero makes the stickers slightly unecissary and riceish. lol. but to each his own.

[undecided02]

Not crazy on the "Alero" front sticker. I like the olds logo in back though. could just be that I think its a wicked logo.

[BlackJack]

not into it. whatever. You sure it's an Alero and not an Eclipse?

[Bad99Olds]

Its An Eclipse In Disguise!!! Imposter!!!!!

[TheMeaningOfLife]

Dont be hatin the banners

There is a difference in giving negative responses and giving negative responses and being a douche while your at it. You singled me out becuase it makes your car SO much better. I like the stickers becuase they represent the love i have for olds mobile and aleros and its to show others that. NOT to say hey im just telling everyone i have an alero. But you should go ahead and tell me MY thoughts during that process.

Just next time be like: I think that looks stupid. End of story

[-Alero-]

dude ion, your the best roffles everytime dude

[DansGen1Alero]

I had the symbol on the back of my 2 prior Olds, (Cutlass Supreme and Achieva)

It was a huge fad in the Baltimore area in like 97. It didnt last long and people started laughing at anybody who did it. Hence the fad died. I like the sticker, but then again all the people who make fun of you probably isnt worth it, and the point they make about duh its an olds is true. Now yes I have had mine mistaken for an Eclipse and even a Supra (I do not know why a Supra) But come on, unless you have some MAJOR modifications and the car looks nothing from stock, any dillhole that has common knowledge of cars should know its an Alero, If not they need to pick up some magazines or go on the internet and learn about different makes and models, lmao.

I am not cutting on anybody in here, it is all in personal opinion. I am just saying be prepared to be made fun of. If that doesnt bother you. Rock on with your stickers. Like I said I did it once upon a time, and I am sure at one point everyone else had some sticker on their car that could be deemed weetarded

[Nate's Alero]

meh, you like it its all good, i, myself dont like it....but its all in the choices, thats is waht makes everyone's car unique

[travis-alero]

See. Now those ^^^ were good responses. Well at least if I don't like them later on i can take them off whenever i want. But i do so its all good.

[[ion] C2]

^That's because they make sure that when they post they make you feel good even though they don't like the way it looks; they're afraid to say anything that might hurt your feelings. My intial post showed, comically, how I felt as well as explained why. You took it well, then once someone else said something you jumped all over me as if "how could you say that! these stickerzzzz are awesome!" Read my posts again, then your responses. I had perfectly valid points and came across with a levelheaded approach. Then you stepped it up.
I like the stickers becuase they represent the love i have for olds mobile and aleros and its to show others that. NOT to say hey im just telling everyone i have an alero. Unfortunately you were incapable of seeing that I'm just saying that's what everyone else takes it as... everyone you encounter on the road is going to be like "... wow, it's an Alero, thanks for telling me." I know you put them on because you <3 Olds but most people rip on people who drive Oldsmobiles as is, and considering quite a hefty amount of ricers put their model stickers on their windshield like "INTEGRA" so when you do things that are associated with a negatively connotated crowd, expect to get the reactions as if you were part of that crowd.

I had a fucking aluminum wing on my Alero when I first got it. Not because I thought the car was fast, but because I liked the way it looked. Everyone hated it, I got ripped on massively on here and some in person. Ricers had wings on, I had one on, therefore I was associated with ricers. It happens. I kept it on for a long time because I stood by what I liked. Then I took it off after realizing I didn't want to be associated with slowtastic riceboxes like every Civic, Escort, etc. that has one on.

But you should go ahead and MY thoughts during that process.What in the world does that mean? That sentence was nowhere near coherent. :lol:

[cherrington17]

not my style, but it doesn't look bad. just silly for the reasons posted above. but its your car, do what you want. ( i see stuff like that on cars around here all the time, so its pretty common thing to do)


also, it'll make it easier to find which is your silver alero in the parking lot. quite a few times i've walked up to a maroon alero in the general location of where mine is, wondering why the doors aren't unlocking. :banghead:

Hey i never said your points weren't valid. I didn't even know that logo decals are a fad or were a fad or whatever. I got them because i wanted to keep my color scheme of silver/black and that was all i could come up with. But what I said was you could have proved your points by not being such a sarcastic smart ass.

And besides, your saying you can't say something looks bad without being mean? Its called giving respect. But i guess your too high on your throne to do that.

Congrats on getting AOTM. . .

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

I wouldn't say its fad, in fact I think its good to be different, cause in some areas all the Alero's are plain and all the same so its cool to be outside of the box, if it was a Honda or Mitsubishi it would be less original. I see that most people notice stuff like that on the site because we are the few that have chosen to modify our Alero's with a limited market for accessories or they don't want to see Alero's end up labeled as ricer cars, but there are Alero's out there that are on the verge of doing that hence that green spider car on car domain. I could build my car and end up with the only car like that in my town and probably a 50 mile radius if not more and still end up with the same cars as like 10 guys on this site but the main thing would be is that my car would be different then every other Alero in the area that I live in.

We figured this out already. You post your pictures, you get responses. I said what I did to be sarcastic, it was funny, I explained why; you said you like it and that's all that matters, and I agreed. Then you started insulting ME personally.
And besides, your saying you can't say something looks bad without being mean? Its called giving respect. But i guess your too high on your throne to do that.
I never said that. Of course I can say I don't like the way something looks without being "mean." You made it open game when you decided to put those stickers on there and post them up. All over the place people get joked on for those stickers for the EXACT reasons I posted! Don't you get it? You're taking the whiny bitch route and complaining over a harmless jest of "Good thing you have those massive stickers so that everyone will know what kind of car it is." Seriously, what the fuck. If you can't handle someone saying that, you're going to need a lot of therapy through your life with your fragile feelings.

Even after I apologize for my harshness yet honesty, you continue.

[[ion] C2]

SUMMARY:
- Newb posts pictures of his "ALERO" and Olds logo stickers.
- I say "Good thing you have those on there so everyone will know what it is now."
- He says "Wow, thanks."
- I explain that a hefty amount of ricers have these, which brings down his image, and the stickers are widely regarded as pretty pointless.
- He says "Well I like it and that's all that matters."
- I say that I agree.
- He gets a sudden testosterone burst and says I'm the GOD of all cars and whatever I say IS ALL.
- I say that I'm not, I just am unafraid of saying what it is.
- He goes on to tell me I'm a douche for being "so mean" when I could've just said "I don't like it."
- I apologize.
- He calls me a douche again.
- I further explain my reasoning since he didn't understand it the first time around.
- He calls me a "sarcastic smart ass" with no respect, and I'm "too high on my throne." Then sarcastically congratulates me on winning the Alero of the Month.

I find it somewhat funny that he focuses in on me and is blind to everyone else who agreed with what I said, just because I was the first one who said it. At least I was kind enough to EXPLAIN WHY I DIDN'T LIKE IT rather than just say "Looks like crap." I GAVE YOU THE REASON! You turned it into a personal attack on me.

[Alerosaint]

Big a$$ stickers arent my style...i mean i used them in need for speed on playstation..lol...but travis not everyone gonna agree with some mods you do and some will be more brash than others but you cant expect everyone to play it off nice....that unrealistic...thats not real life...if someone said your mod look liked shit in person would you:
A) throw a big fit about it and start a pointless arguement
B) Be like whatever, keep rollin and be happy in what you did

If you said A then you need tougher skin, cause the world aint gonna baby you, If you said B then you are good to go

People rag on me for driving my alero and dont talk about when I supercharged it they were like are you effing serious...i was like yeah my car my money....i got ragged on just the other day for building up engine...i was told to by another better car, a v8 but I pay them no mind cause thats their opinion and they entitled to it...sugar coated or not its theirs...personally i dont care...sometime people give advice with their opinions which is cool but at the end of the day i make the call.

So all i am saying just be prepared to all kind of reactions to your post calling for opinions, like our cars there all these different personalities on this forum you are liable to get anything for a response...positve, negative, retarded, non constructive....and if you have an issue with the such...dont post and no harm will be done. Just my words of hopefully wisdom

Hey Midgear I need some pie!!!!

[travis-alero]

Yeah my bad guys. I guess i just got offended. Being this is my first and only car and I'm just starting to mod it, i just jumped on the first person to say they didnt like it. I'm putting a lot of hard ass working money into this thing and i would hate to see it put into something stupid. Ion, i shouldnt have talked bad about you personally or anything. Its just when you did that stupid kitty picture post it just felt like you were looking down on me and thats why i said those things. I do apoligize to you and I'm being serious when i say congrats on AOTM. You got a sweet car. I'm just a guy with an alero who hopes to compete one day.

[Midgear]

I personally think it looks good.. representing oldsmobile ftw. and on a random note-

tis all good man welcome to aleromod lol

[Vinalero]

Don't worry, we should find the post where Ion posted Pictures of his car with the 747 wing on the trunk and look for somewhat look-a-like post from him :p

Seriously Ion, I mean you are really doing a good job on your car, but do not forget where you are coming from before posting sometimes ;)

[Alerosaint]

you gonna see alot of crazy stuff on these forums but also you are gonna learn tons about ur ho....if u know alot already then u r gonna learn more....these people here are awesome and so knowledgeable....these are a great group of guys and the occasional girl....by far the best forum ive been a member of. Now Mod on

[BeeMain]

Yeah, not my taste ... big stickers and all. but hey, I don't understand "clear the corners" either, wtf, clear corners???

I never made an intro post or a post showing my car for a looong time, lol. But here's what mine used to look like:

http://ion-productions.com/alero1.jpg

As you can see, it's a little different now.

[cherrington17]

not much though... once a toolbox, always a toolbox. :p

and your "intro" pic doesn't have a watermark? whats up with that?? lol

[kwhauck]

hahahaahha...lol, it's ok ion, we all have a ricer stage, some of us just stay longer than others, some turn into ghetto white boys, but we all learn sooner and later and move on.....

[forbidden]

Hey bro if you like it then rock it. Being I make decals for a living, we make TONS of decals like that for people. Rather its for an olds, ford, chevy whatever. If you like it thats what matters not anyone on a forum site that bashs you for something. What your doing is still in and always will be. Keep on doing what YOU like!!!

Also the guy bashing the decals also posted this in another post :

"ya that's what i did, i have two sound sensitive cathodes where your feet go and they're wired to the cigarette lighter wires and a switch"

Now if thats not out of date i dont know what is...

[Midgear]

^^ wtb more posts like that.

[adam337]

i remember c2's wing. clutch crashed his car around the same time and i asked c2 why he couldnt have been the one to crash instead. :D

[TheEdgeofSanity]

I like the decals. I think the redesigned Olds logo was very clean and I like the way it looks on your car. I actually would consider one if i had my windows tinted. I think they look kinda cool and they aren't too "ricer" in my eyes. If anything, you are acknowleging that "yes, my car is an oldsmobile and it's badass!" and there's nothing wrong with that. now, it would be different if u had it with a 747 wing on the back, but you don't so its all good

Did he really? I'm sorry that I have lighting where your feet go. Cars are coming factory with such accent lighting now since most people like it. Call it out of date all you want, like I give a fuck.

[travis-alero]

I don't know how this really applies but i took my spoiler off and it has a lot smoother look to it. I like it.

Anyways, i could only imagine the money differential between the top and bottom picture there ion.

[Bad99Olds]

a much better investment than stickers :p

[travis-alero]

heh i think the stickers look even better without the spoiler.

[TheEdgeofSanity]

i happen to love the stock spoiler, but every man has his own opinion

[travis-alero]

Well I'll probably end up selling it. If anyone is interested in a silver stock spoiler PM me.

[TheEdgeofSanity]

aren't there holes in your decklid now?

Yea I took mine off also. But i think alot of us went threw the airplane wing I know i did also when i got my alero back in 99

Wow.... No need to be like that just because someone does not like what your doing to your car.....I was just saying I think its out of date..lol Point proven!!

[travis-alero]

Nah, i went to autozone and got some body filler, creme hardener, and touch up paint. Its a little off but not much. When i get some extra cash i'll get it repainted.

[jayson_waltz]

i like the way the olds symbol on the back looks against the tint, but not a fan of the windsheild banner.

i have foot area lighting too, front and back. also have the door handles and all the dash vents lit up. I don't think it looks bad at all. All i've got has been compliments, even from my 40 some yr old parents

I never said it looked bad bro. I just hate to see people give others a hard time for what they want to do to THEIR car. Keep it up bro I am sure it does look great. I think the vent thing is pretty cool.

[Kilroy]

My personal opinion is that I like the "Alero" on the windshield, but I'm not a fan of the huge Olds logo on the back window. But that's me. If you like it, that's all that matters.

[YALEROYNOT]

I like em they look good IMO. but I don't drive an alero anymore so I cant judge anymore :lol:

[Beholder88]

I think they look good. I had a Cutlass and got "CUTLASS" across the windshield and the olds rocket on the rear windshield. I see no problem with decals, as long as they are properly applied and not over-abused. I work at a place that makes labels and decals, and I've got my graphic designer working on an olds emblem for my rear window. We've got a printer capable of printing one big enough with room to spare. I'm going to get it made out of weatherable vinyl, and overlaminated to protect against fade. I'll post pictures when I get them done.
