Meet Angel

[XanderWiFi]

I have been away for a while...had to get my appendix removed and then try to catch up with school work. Anyhow, here is my 2004 3400 Alero Sedan-I call her: Angel.

These are pics after I detailed her over spring break. It was a bit rushed but doesn't get much better than this. Question is: would I be shamed to show up to ASS with it?

[Nate's Alero]

she is quite beautiful..... wax and wash i presume?

[lonnie]

Looks good and good color choice.

[kwhauck]

Question is: would I be shamed to show up to ASS with it?

No shame at all, I'm sure there will be other stock alero's there, but the biggest thing is you show up to meet people, have a kick ass time, and most likely get some ideas on what you want to do to your vehicle!!!

[dhurst765]

that is kind of how mine looks but i have exhaust also and interior stuff

[CactusWill]

That looks exactly like mine, but cleaner.

[Trickyslick]

Nice and show up to have fun not for what youve done to it...you have to start somewhere.

[Atmosphere]

Looks great, where did you get that polished intake from?

[knuckleballer32]

looks good and just like mine except a 3400. im from the parma area btw.

Which Parma?

[billytheman1188]

come to ASS.....oldsnut and cliff have pretty much stock aleros..... tons of people have stock cars at the big olds show, nothing to be ashamed of. we love all the aleros that show up, doesnt matter if its stock or not

[CarCrazyMike82]

Yo,
That is really tight. I like it alot.
Do you use Tire Gel too?

[cherrington17]

shamed? its cleaner then mine!

i have all interior lights/stereo. rest is stock (besides intake, battery, alternator)

no shame. SHOW UP!

No doubt. Not a drop of shame involved in sporting a car that clean, that looks better than 90% of brand new vehicles sold today for outrageous prices.

[XanderWiFi]

thanks guys. That makes me feel a lot better. I use a wash/wax soap formula then hand wax it after that. To get the tires that shiny I use tire foam, then follow it with tire wet (never stays on long though...). I got my CAI from chromeintakes on eBay but will probably replace it with the MRE website brand as soon as I get the money.

My gf just got a job at Parma hospital. I live in Cuyahoga Falls. Small world.

[knuckleballer32]

parma by cleveland

[doubleN0alero]

I live in Cuyahoga Falls. Small world.

I know where that is...my brother lived there for awhile before he moved to Stow. I use the advanced version of tire wet and it outlasts the cleanliness of my car 10 fold, however with all the pollen lately, I've had to give up on washing my car. I washed and waxed it last weekend, came inside to shower and walked back outside to find it covered in yellow/green...what a waste of time cleaning it.

i know its what sucks about this time of year

And about the shame (not that you haven't heard it enough in this thread already) you shouldn't worry about it. My car has quite a bit of mods but looks like sh*t right now lol. Yours looks very clean. So definitely come to ASS.

There is no reason for shame, it's an Olds and it's an Alero. A good looking one at that.

I have a Final 500 and can't do much to that Alero but we just picked up a Red '04 and that is where the fun begins, I gotta have a car to put the OSV kit and wheels on.

[MattismodderX]

u live pretty close to me. ohio ftw

[XanderWiFi]

Cool I've found a lot of people that live nearby. Have any good shops to suggest for the area? I know we are just down the road from summit racing but I haven't gotten to visit it yet.

[XanderWiFi]

Ohio tinting laws kinda suck too...wanted to do that but they don't allow much

[MattismodderX]

well for us Ohioans, you have to have some kind of moving violation for them to do the "let me check your tint" thing. say a cop pulls u over just cause of your tint, he will say to take it off- boohoo, but the second he leaves u can smile because u can take it to court and win, because he has to have a reason other then tint to pull u over xD. as for local shops- custom trim in akron, take west market, 18 all the way into akron and its on your left, and century 2000 is on tallmadge avenue

Dammit...I wanted to show the new pics of upgrades I made to Angel but I cannot remember how...

[nschmidt]

Insert an image. Looks like some mountains with a sun. A square icon. May be able to do it as an attachment, or you can upload it to somewhere like 'imageshack.us'.

[XanderWiFi]

Going to go with the imageshack option. Here is the URL to see the new pics of Angel and with some of the improvements I have been hounding you guys about for quite some time. Hopefully, the pics are a payoff for your guys' time and attention because I love the way she looks and it is paying off for me.

Ah...come on. The health car bill thread continuously gets hit but I can't get some opinions on new pics of my upgrades on a CAR FORUM?!?!

[20alero02]

lower that ho. looks good other than that, not a fan of chrome but to each his own.

[XanderWiFi]

lower howso?

[alerogls001]

Just throw on some GR2 struts and lowering springs! Damn that alero looks nice.

[That01Olds]

Looks good. I like those rims you put on there personally.

[wrestlingandrunning]

Looks good, but please lower and it will look better! ;)

[XanderWiFi]

just google "lowering springs?" Sites and equipment references are always very handy for such things.

[keytonic]

eibachs are good

[Apocalips]

your car his nice whit your rim. And it's true, eibachs are good but it's better whit KYB AGX. That s what I have on my car. And i like this combo

[kwhauck]

Yes please lower it. Your rims looks good as well. My personal preference would have been a 5 or 6 split spoke instead of 12 or 14 or however many you have......

Oh and get some GAGT mirrors and lose the mickey mouses.....

[XanderWiFi]

ah! Thanks.

[XanderWiFi]

I just recently put on the tinted tails that Atomix sent me from his part out (thanks again-they are in great condition). They look pretty nifty in the dark, or so my lady says so. I wish the Altezza's were still being made but this will do. Lemme know what you guys think.

[XanderWiFi]

no love... : (

[whiterider00]

looks good. give people longer than an hr and a half to respond tho.

ADD allows nothing less : P

[XanderWiFi]

Just installed HIDs 10k and got a snap of the tails at night though it doesn't come out too clearly.

Well, the HID pics won't show bc they're already in Smurfs how-to for the HIDs...so bummer...

[XanderWiFi]

oops...

[MattismodderX]

now with some black wheels and tint youd have the stormtrooper alero xD

[XanderWiFi]

Haha I considered going with black wheels but that investment is over with. The chrome ones there with the tires were over $1500...but I do need to get the windows tinted.

[sponge]

i'm near parma, ohio. LOL. but nice car, i think it would look better if u lower it and take the spoiler off.

[XanderWiFi]

I live in Texas now. It's the stock spoiler so I doubt it's coming off. But a lot of people have told me to lower her. I just don't feel like bottoming out on everything.

[keytonic]

Looks good
Get the Eibachs, drops it enough but not so low you bottom out on everything. I live on nothing but back roads and hills and the Eibachs work just fine with no bottoming out.

[XanderWiFi]

I've always wondered how difficult those are to put in...if I could do it myself or if I should pay the way.

[That01Olds]

The car is looking really good man and is coming along very nicely imo. Keep up the good work is all I can really say here.

[XanderWiFi]

Thanks, I appreciate the encouragement. I'm turning to some engine related things now such as stronger mounts for the transmission and engine. Really wish WOT-TECH would put out some headers... : ( Not much else I can do after that except tint the windows and keep up the cosmetics.

[keytonic]

Paid to have my Eibachs put in sure you would need something to compress the springs
