[xstrong4lifex]

I was thinking about putting one of these on my car but eh affraid of the aftermath or what people might think of it or turn out bad?

if you do it right, it will look good. a few members here did it some time ago. IIRC pimpalero2003 did it.

I forget who did it, but it has been done before. I believe there is some fab work that needs to be done though.

Hmmm I remember someone used a steel gas door that fits on 2000-2004 mustangs with a little modification.

I'm affraid of someone thinking I'm trying to rice it out.

tiny tasteful mods won't get you labeled as rice. just as long as you don't get a freakin park bench spoiler you'll be good by us. lol Stay classy. ;)

[cliffordwoeller]

so what mods would get you the label of ricer ?

I am thinking, basically, stuff that looks or sounds out of place. Like Chrome side vents, chrome pillars, big vynil graphics, huge wings, fart cans, etc...

(huge) unnecessary graphics, huge spoiler, nasty ass paint job, glass pack muffler with no other engine mods (and then hot-rodding it at every traffic light)...basically, if it's not classy or tasteful, or made for pure performance...it is rice.

I dont think so, but maybe you could photoshop it and see if you like it. It really shouldnt matter what anyone else thinks. Photoshop it, and if you like it, do it.

[kwhauck]

i would rather shave the fuel door, why would you want to make it stand out even more than it already does?

[jrim]

if you find something that doesn't require too much modification, i'm interested, i like how it looks on that blue alero (although mine is silver).

[coolgrinder33]

I think it would look better on a silver car

[AleroDrime]

steel fuel door, like the ones for trucks adn eclipses, thatd be hot, i didnt expect there were any made for aleros i love a black one

[xstrong4lifex]

I have a white Alero, think it look good?

[AleroDrime]

i have a white one too im thinking black would look good could anyone photo shop this, liek a black one from an eclipse

[heineck]

i never thought these thing were even remotely cool, but to each his own

[AleroDrime]

some cars i like them some i dont, i think itd be cool to see one photoshoped though

[Vinalero]

Rice = Too much

[spyhunter]

rice = unnecessary

What kind of work needs to be done? And where did you get the cover

[Valley olds]

Hey everyone. Found this nice how to for the GA fuel door. I think it should be the same with the alero, but if anyone could comfirm it, thatd be nice.
