What are you using to tint the lights? I used VHT nightshades and was happy but some people say they are too dull. Just so you are aware of that.

nothing a coat or two of clear coat won't fix though. my tails were dull after vht and i just got a can of gloss coat and they are looking tight.

I always set my parking brake even in an automatic as well. The parking pawl isn't really designed to take a ton of stress if you park on a hill.
i used to use my ebrake all the time because my old car was manual.

Mine does too I kinda want to do something about it but I might just wait and see what happens with kit. do springs or exhaust!

Looks like someone had time to clear those corners!
Kruc1fix

ooh good call! lowering it would be so sick!!!!! omfg jesus didn't think about that. About how much does that cost to do?
AbHeLlRaZoR
03-15-2009, 08:20 PM
it depends on what kit you use, what shocks/ struts you use/ where you buy or if you decide to put it on airbags.
Kruc1fix
03-15-2009, 08:22 PM
I have no clue on any of that stuff you said.
xstrong4lifex
03-15-2009, 08:23 PM
Tint would also be dope my looks sharp in it.

I have no clue on any of that stuff you said.
lowering springs like Eibach or Sprint I got Sprints. Shocks/Struts like KYB GR 2's or KYB AGX I got GR 2's. cost me something over $500 Canadian I don't know for sure what the exact price was cause I ordered them separately at different times and have yet to install them.

03-15-2009, 08:29 PM
the price depends on what springs/struts you get, if you decide to go with air ride or hydrolics
xstrong4lifex
03-15-2009, 08:30 PM
It just cost me a shit load for my exhaust and headers. I hope its cheaper for struts and springs to have installed.
HazMatt24
03-15-2009, 08:31 PM
my struts and springs were a tad over $500 but I installed myself
xstrong4lifex
03-15-2009, 08:32 PM
okay guys kit or springs/struts?
AbHeLlRaZoR
03-15-2009, 08:34 PM
I'm glad I know how to install stuff my self even better I can go back to my old high school use the hoist and spring compressor when I go to install mine... saves a lot of money in the end.

a kit is gonna look pretty gay with a huge wheel gap, lower first then kit
actually, wheels/tires, lower, kit

Thats what I thought, you know I think thats my only disappointment with the Aleros, like why couldn't they sit like the Monte's or Camaro's you know?

That is true... I should go with new wheels before that.
Questions about wheels...
Can wheels be transferred from car to car...? Because If I get them and can only be used with this car im not doing that..
another estimate on 4 wheel sets. I really like Ions, black with a silver outline?

there are a lot of cars with the same wheel offset and lug pattern as an Alero, but you are never gonna find a set that will fit all cars.
