View Full Version : donor Lip kits
So ive been thinking of getting a lip kit from another car and having it made to fit the alero. I wanted to see if there was a car, other then the grand am that may be around the same shape and size of the alero...
What do you think?

No to the Monte Carlo^^^...They follow the same structure as the Grand Prix

yup, Monte = W-body.
Also, just because a car is from the same general family doesn't mean the bumper is going to be the same general size/shape at the bottom. That's going to take some serious research. Good luck, sounds like a worthy quest. The available kits for the Alero are really played-out.

sometimes you have to let your strong safety just decapitate anything going across the middle to remind the opponent of your dominance.

Doesn't that mean it was a running attempt at a hug, turned elbow pulverizer?

Running hugs are amazing when attempted on mud.

so back on the subject, think round vehicle with similar body structures, i too have though about this but haven't pursued anything......my idea
GTO
scion tc (might have to extend the middle, no biggie)
cobalt (again extend in the middle)
300m
3rd and 4th gen eclipse
and I have always been curious how an sc-t kit would look on an alero bumper....
yea its a process and im trying to find a certain look.....and go from there on having it fit

didn't some guy on here put an eclipse bumper on his alero, but was flamed and left the site?
Im going for a clean look, not fag and furious......

he was flamed for buying an odd kit, and claiming he custom made the whole thing.

I like the idea of a front lip, I have no idea what would work but find something close to the same shape and size and go from there I think it would involve a lot of trial and error but it would be cool to sport a front end that is different than all the rest.

been thinkin about it myself, im going to try to get an eclipse bumper molded to mine and idk if i wana tackle that right yet... there a damn close match if you mold to your stock bumper to keep your mounting points and the shape for your headlights... but i may just work with just the stock bumper and make my own
