body swap

[slaphandz]

i was wondering if what all parts from a 2000 grand am will fit my 2000 alero ......I was thinking the bumber btu i'd probably have to get the whole front clip any pics would be much appreciated

[Ttop191]

fenders, hood, headlights, bumper, headlight mounting assembly IIRC

[slaphandz]

Would I have to change all of it at the same time or would the front bumber go on by its self

[Ttop191]

all at once. nothing would line up, plus how do you plan on fittting Alero headlights inside GA bumper :P

[slaphandz]

Ya i figured that i just wanted to make sure do you have any pics of the conversion??

[Ttop191]

nope, to my limited knowledge its never been done, just talked about...would be cool for someone to actually go for it ;)

[slaphandz]

ya i think i am i can get all the parts for about 150 .............do you know if the dash would fit???

[alero_bmxer]

why didnt you just buy a grand am?

[Ttop191]

I have no idea...I don't think anyone has ever brought up an interior swap...why didn't you just buy a GA :)

and $150 is a great price so go for it

[BlackJack]

oh no. seriously?

Wait, this ISN'T April Fools day....then......this is for real?

I'm going to go overdose on face-palm.

[Ttop191]

meh its his car w/e. he's asking for help i'ma help him.

[alero_bmxer]

oh no. seriously?

Wait, this ISN'T April Fools day....then......this is for real?

I'm going to go overdose on face-palm.

im just going to go to sleep and pretend this thread was never started. goodnight

[slaphandz]

great:coolio:

[colonel6632]

i thought someone did swap the grand am interior in to the alero... like.. 99% sure someone did

[Redog]

This was bought up a few years ago.

Why the Grand Alero, IDK, but if you get the entire front clip, it can be done

[pimpalero2003]

Yes someone has and also someone has swapped the front end also. Might of been same person I dunno

[Ttop191]

we are talking about a front end swap lol

[pimpalero2003]

And it has been done

[colonel6632]

And it has been done

i thought so, i remember the interior. dont think i've seen pictures of the front end swap

[wrestlingandrunning]

Pics of the swap are floating around car domain, as this subject of ga swap had been brought up before.

[pimpalero2003]

I almost did it only for the reason couldn't find alero fenders or lights in the yard. Found it so went with alero almost did ga front had to get fenders bumper and lights would of cost like $30 more to do the ga front.

[My-Alero_03]

It is more work than it is worth. You would have to get the raditator core support so the correct mounts for the ga are in the right spot. The headlight wiring harness is different as well so that also would have to be changed

[bdyman]

^^incorrect, the core support upper frame rails, lower frame rails, strut towers, everything is the same, even the wiring harness is the same
even the fender liners are the same, the re bar, hood hinges, primary latch, secondary latch, only difference is obvious, the headlight mount panle, headlights, hood, bumper,

so buy the entire front clip

[pimpalero2003]

Is it the same 4dr ga to coupe alero for liners? Took a passenger one from the yard and won't fit correctly. Cut it alittle and still needs to be trimmed more. Fender is an aftermarket non oem I got in a yard.

[Spilly]

I could see doing a front end swap if the parts were cheap enough. If you could get a front clip for less the 5 hundo, that's a helluva lot cheaper than going and buying a GA. They also make a TON more aftermarket parts for the GA, hoods, projector headlights etc.

And damn it would be unique, you'd have people asking what the deal is with the ass end on your Grand Am. I might start buying the parts piece by piece as I see them. Header panel, fenders, hood, headlights, bumper. Really not that hard, all bolt on.

[heineck]

ive never seen the appeal to doin this.

[BlackJack]

And damn it would be unique, you'd have people asking what the deal is with the ass end on your Grand Am.
Yes, more than likely they will, but not out of admiration.

[Spilly]

Dude we drive Aleros, there isn't much to admire in the first place.

[wrestlingandrunning]

Dude we drive Aleros, there isn't much to admire in the first place.

Make it something to admire. That's one of the reasons this site is here.

[kwhauck]

this idea has ghey written all over it....

[alero_bmxer]

Dude we drive Aleros, there isn't much to admire in the first place.

then why in gods name are you "modding" it? after all its just an alero right?

[Spilly]

then why in gods name are you "modding" it? after all its just an alero right?

Read.

there isn't much to admire in the first place.

Because I got the car at a steal, yet I'm morally opposed in rolling around in a car that looks like every other rental car Alero with a 70 year old at the wheel. Thanks for asking.

[Weazel]

Hey, I happen to think Alero's are quite attractive...

[Fuzzyspudkiss]

i think my alero is beautiful and she is full stock... if you dont like the way a car looks, dont buy it IMO

[alero_bmxer]

then why the hell are you even commenting? everyone else on here loves or at least respects their car... obviously you dont. i got my car for $900 and loved everything about it from day one.

[Malibu369258]

this swap reminds me a lot of the chrysler 300 and dodge magnum front end swap that I've seen a few times...

[Vic28]

Do it... let em hate.

[kwhauck]

i will hate, just buy a grand am, they aren't any more sporty than an alero....

[Vic28]

lol the thing is most of them wont do it anywayz:lol:

[pimpalero2003]

Wow it's the same damn thing as putting a body kit on! Leave the dude alone! Ga does have more options for headlights how many do we have again? More hoods what we have stock or the ss type from extream. Body kits more for the front. Will it look weird with the stock ga front!! Hell yes!!!! Look at ga stock bumper see the ribbings? Won't flow on a hoe! Get the side moldings will flow with the front but now the rear looks fugly. I was going to do it cause it was my only option but lucky lucked out and a yard got some aleros in. If doing it by choice do not use the oem bumper get a body kit bumper.

[Spilly]

then why the hell are you even commenting? everyone else on here loves or at least respects their car... obviously you dont. i got my car for $900 and loved everything about it from day one.
READ MY POST. I JOINED THIS WEBSITE SO I CAN GET AN IDEA AS TO HOW TO MODIFY MY CAR SO IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE EVERY OTHER GENERIC ALERO. What part of that do you not understand? I said stock Aleros don't aren't typically something to be proud of. There is a reason the resale on these cars are awful.

Good for you and your 900 dollar Alero, ignorance is bliss I suppose.

[kwhauck]

I like sleepers, but if you must why have a look you can't back up..........

p.s. who is your friend in the signature with the small penis?

[Spilly]

If I wanted to back up how the car looked I sure as hell wouldn't use a flimsy N-body platformed car to build it. Obviously this website is going to be full of a bunch of butthurt fanboys who get super offended if somebody mention ANYTHING negative about their car, but the N-body platform is garbage. Old, too narrow, and plain bad. Horrible platform to try to build a performance car on.

Haha what are you 12? Small penis eh? I guess dudes doing front wheel drive burnouts in their mom's hand me down Alero "Is wicked rad brah". You people are hilarious.

[-Alero-]

this thread....this thread...

[pimpalero2003]

Wow you really have no clue do you? Why the f buy an alero then? Dude just stfu his car is a beast as many others are. If you wanted go go go mad performance easy to do should of bought your ass a civic and did an integra front in swap aw shitzz that be mad tight son! To come on here an start bashing aleros come on it's a flipping alero site.

:haha: I don't care what you say, I'm not building an alero because its an easy platform.

To be honest, aleros and grand ams aren't high on a lot of peoples list for looks either. You are gonna catch probably more flack from people for making it look cool with bodykits and such, vs trying to build the motor.

I also don't understand your too narrow comment. We may not have a ready made supercharger or turbo kit, but we have other options just like any cars, heads, intake, cam, etc.

So what platform would you build on mr. fanboy, a supra, evo, cobra?

Even if he builds a supra, evo, cobra, we're going to be at ASS 2011 celebrating about Alero's, what does he have to celebrate about? I bet you he's going to pull up at ASS 2011 in his crapbox shaking his head. In short there aren't that much modifyed Alero's out there but there are plenty of modded supra, evos etc.

[Spilly]

Haha alright kids.

My Alero is my daily driver, that's why I'm on this forum, not because I kid myself into thinking it's any sort of performance car.

And just for your info kiddies, I'd sooner use a W-body if I were to use a FWD platform, or F-Body/Vette. And you kids can shit on Supra's all you like, but there isn't a modded Alero of this website that could touch a stock Supra. Nothing is funnier than a bunch of kids ricing out Alero's talking shit on cars that pretty well known to be batshit fast. Peace Aleromod, have fun kidding yourselves.

[Cliff8928]

I'm guessing when you say "supra" you mean a MK4 turbo with a manual transmission. Excluding that, I'm sure there are a few people with Aleros (or other N-Bodies) which are faster than plenty of supras in the quarter mile.

I would never buy a MK4 myself... I prefer the style of the MK3.

[cherrington17]

ROFLMAO

yeah, me and my slow-ass alero will just be happy as we are thanks (since I can eat 90% of what you listed up there). I didn't buy/build my shit to pretend it's something else. If I wanted to be retarded and look like I have something else, I would have bought something else.

whatever, have fun.

guys I'm sorry but a forum is a business and the way some things are conducted around here are just not appropriate. I'm not bashing or directing this at anyone...I'm just saying oftentimes things are blown WAY out of proportion.
This site is supposed to be here to share our common interest not to bash people for trying something we wouldn't do ourselves unless there are legal or saftey issues involved of course. I've been here only one year, but even I have noticed this is a continually growing problem, so lets just try to use the site for the purpose it was created for...Share your knowledge and maybe help out a couple people with it.


on a further note, i do agree the putting down of Alero's on an Alero site is rather ridiculous. If you don't think it should happen add it to your rules, give out warnings...do SOMETHING other than opening a can of verbal whoop ass in a thread...


lets just try to keep this professional people huh?

haha good job spilly :]]
i agree with your posts totally.
i think all of you are just really self concious about your cars and have to defend your self in every thread that's posted.all i've ever seen drive alero's are old people and drug dealers haha.
and for those of you that were involved i didn't say i have a 240sx, a subie, and a GTO.
the 240 me and my cousin built up. that's mine. the subie was a group buy and tune up, which is not mine. and the GTO was passed down to me by my real dad. my step dad usually drives the 240.
point is, all those cars are way more showy and better built than the alero.

[pimpalero2003]

Wow dude ur a moron. And really it's an alero site!!! Dumbasses

[guiguilandry]

hey kid that's enough GTFO, please it will help all the aleromod community if you do go away like spilly did 2 weeks ago..

Mods do something

[wrestlingandrunning]

People like these 2 that have been posting really make me want to sell my 300zx tt and buy another alero just to show what this car can do. I'm sick of people who can't stand when someone wants to be different of step outside of the norm when it comes to modding cars. Alero would be the real definition of sleeper not some 240sx,subie,or gto no matter how subtle the appereances mods are. This website isn't filled with ahoes, how do you think this site came to what it is? We're not roosters to every newb that comes here but when they get on and think there hot shit with all these other cars that they have and they haven't even searched into the potental an alero has..........(we need smily face that shakes his head followed by one that flips ppl off)

Nah, none of those have any style whatsoever. So, I was just curious, what on earth would convince the average retard that people on a specific car site wouldn't have pride in what they own? we don't HAVE to defend ourselves, we just have to put idiots in their place. It's compulsive. Feeling a little self-conscious yet?

[billytheman1188]

Poor guy......he probably feels like a complete moron right now. :(

I will leave you with a good quote to make you think (hopefully) cause it seems as if you dont do that before you speak. Its ok, your a kid....get it out while you can......anyways....the quote...

I just have a few thing to say, Quit bragging on daddy's cars, And "Your" 240 is a joke..And I've seen some pretty bad cars living in a college town, You sound like this kid that constantly wants to race my truck...He too thinks its "cool" to street race, Long story short...He's got a riced out civic, Unpainted body kit, Stickers everywhere, Huge wing, Claiming to have the fastest car on the street with his ebay turbo kit, Do us a favor, Buy one of those kits so the turbine can come apart and smoke your car...And sell the Alero to someone who deserves a decent car...Go buy a honda

Not that I really give a crap that you do, but I just find it insanely hilarious. Either you consider yourself just as lame as you claim the site to be, or you're closet jealous. Which one is it little johnny?

[JLw7123]

he claims to own all of these car but he is only 16 so they are not even under his name they are under his dads name because you need to be 18 to have a car under your name. in case you did not know that tunerkid or are you to retarded to know that. if you think ur so cool i would like to see your supposely modded 240 against one of the modded cars on this site.

I've been lied to for so many years....


so... a grouping of how many people, can be considered a website? Next time I walk into a large group of people... are they a website?


...jackass. THIS IS A CAR MODIFYING FORUM! Meaning, an internet gathering of people who share the same passion for a similar interest. I'm assuming you missed the notice on the main page, in the bottom right corner, where it (currently) says we have 4,480 members. For an incredibly uncommonly modified car, that isn't bad. I've been on a corvette forum with over 100k (or 100,000 in your terms, since you haven't been in school long enough to know what k stands for) members.

Yes, we have about 50 common posters, and the number is dwindling, since Aleros are no longer sold. If those of us who are common, don't keep posting fixes, and new mods, then the other 4,430 (see that, I subtracted the common posters from the current members!) members won't have a resource to access when they need information.

there are alot of great people here that help everyone else out. and i just want to thank everybody. you know who you are. without you guys, i would of spent much more fixing my alero, than you guys helping do it myself.
