Hey guys,
So I'm new to the alero mod scene. Was given a Maroon 2003 Alero GLS Coupe 3.4L V6 to me as a first vehicle. Amazing condition and 76000km on it when I got it. It is now at about 82000km. I'm not all sure what my family member that gave it to me, has gotten replaced. Yet so far I replaced the driver side wheel hub, and the driver's side regulator, front rotors, front brake pads. (Stupid choice, as I found aleromods and found out I could have saved almost $500.)

Anyways, I'm wanting to get into the mod scene and just wanting some pointers as to where I could begin modding for performance, and maybe some good sites such as Andy's Autosports. I have seen some amazing external mods but I would like to hold off so I don't have a stock under the hood, rice racer.

welcome to the site and there is no 3.6l engine for the alero you probably have the 3.4. What Cherry posted is a great site for modding your alero.

I actually do not have pics. All I have currently is a horrible 1.3 megapixel phone camera, as well as it's rained non stop the last week. When it gets sunny and I can clean her up I'll post up some pics.

I think that you have the gold package. The front badge looks gold.

I think that it is just gold emblems but your car is a GLS do you have the 8 speakers. Someone might be able to explain more.
