Well, I cant yet drive OFFICIALLY (I mean I know how to drive, its just that I dont yet have my license), but this is what I'll be driving pretty soon:

Planning to get a new stereo system first and then some exterior mods :)
It's the 2.4L version. While badged with a Oldsmobile logo at the front, like all other cars, it is sold under the Chevy brand.

I've polished the car myself, so I'm sorry about the white stains on the tires :P

Welcome Kage! We used to have another guy from Israel on here.

They come with cleared corners already.

Howdy doo Kage! That's a really sharp Alero! Find yourself some Grand Am mirrors for that baby!
I am also digging those headlights!
Wouldn't someone be able to mod the US headlight in the same manner while they have it disassembled when clearing the corners?
This day in age what with global communications and world wide shipping, I'm a little suprised we haven't seen more of these headlights popping up in here or just domesticaly in general...hmm...gonna have to look into this a bit more.

They have a clear lens in them instead of the amber one... it's different than just taking it out.

Welcome! Great photography skills.

LOL dude! We have to stay friends 'cause you gotta help me with my stereo! :eek: On my headlights, the corner has an amber lens and the next light in is an amber bulb with a clear lens...how hot does it get inside the housing? Could you just use some orange film or would it have to be somthing more substantial?

Cliff and I have seen them in person at the GM Training Center in the Chicago area, they look very cool. I believe Matt Fuller picked upo a set dirt cheap at Homecoming 2 years ago.

Welcome to the site.

Yes Matt did pick up a set of Euro Alero headlights at ASS one year. He paid $80 for the pair :eek:

The difference is the corner lens is like ours only clear and the t/s has the big orange thingy in it like on the 01-02 Cavy's here ;)

Yes try to get parts for your car from American web sites. I was helping out a guy from Europe a while ago. He now lives in the states (Chicago I think)

Awesome pictures, I haven't seen our car like that before.

Liking the side markers too, I've been thinking about doing something similar but with clear ones w/ amber LEDs, kinda like those on Audi's.
