So i was thinking of getting the AAS Body kit.. its only 400 buck + shipping so why not? But now i need opinions on
Lowering springs and struts
(Maybe) Carbon fiber Wing?
The best gripping summer tires
Carbon fiber hood (preferably one with a real hood scoop)
HID? (I'll need help for these..)
Someone to do custom tail lights maybe headlights to... (i don't wanna break them...)
I don't just one one option for each and i wanna hear every ones opinions on the items!

well there is no carbon fiber hoods for the alero. if you want an aftermarket spoiler get the razzi spoiler. H&R springs with KYB AGX struts. Hids from DDMtuning.com. If you want a hood get the v fiber hood it is fiberglass. Best summer tires depends on how much you are willing to spend on a set of tires.

Contact CF Tech in Hamilton. They will make your hood for you. If your existing hood is in good condition, you may need to give it to them to make the mould. Won't be cheap, but they will do it. The one I have is the first off for the GA that they made. Back in the day, one of our members from GrandsOntario donated his Ram-Air hood to make the mould. On top of that the finished product from them is stellar!
Here is what they made for us:

The question is why? to look fast?
yes kyb agx and h&r
no to a wing
tires are a personal opinion.....i get whats cheap because I like to burnout and I spend money on track tires
carbon fiber hood? again looks vs performance
taillights, the stock ones are fine
headlights, if you must just clear them

All things being said. I personally would talk to Clint at Neverdone, the bubble hood fits the alero body best by far! And its light fiberglass, so you get the same benefits as CF without the look (which is overrated without some paint to clean it up)

i got 225/40/r18 and they were 105$ a tire brand new, but have gone up since i bought them.... i think for my size now they are roughly 125$ a tire.

Wow, I hate you guys...lol Tires here are VERY expensive. Just put Winters on the VW and they were a grand! Just to buy them, installed them myself at work. Firestone Winterforce, about 220 each plus tax. Most I ever spent on tires was a set of Firehawk FZ50EP's, over the counter was 2,200 bucks. That was in 03 though. Spring the ride is getting a new set of Goodyear F1's. My bro just put them on his Firehawk a couple months ago and they are amazing!

The ass body kit isnt bad at all. However the duraflex material is supposed to be better. Iv also heard good things about the v-fiber stuff to. I'll be getting there hood soon. Get your hids froom ddm tuning. For lowing srpings get the ebach pro kit. They are the bet from what iv heard.

Lows are 6 highs are 5. They are the same thing withthe hids from ddm. Completely interchangeable. Personally I have the 55w 12k lows and 55w 10k highs. The lows are awesome but I wish I would have got something more around 8k for the highs. It most depends on if your wanting them more for looks or actual better visibility, or both!

well my lows will be for looks
but i want my brights to be BRIGHT since i live right off of a deer infested highway

1.body kit sounds cool, but what about the body and paint work invovled to make it look half way decent, will cost you alot of money
2.fuck yo springs!!! AIR RIDE!!! you want performance air ride gives you that hit the switch and lay the car out, air ride technologies was the first company to ever road race a full size gm car on air ride to prove the air ride is and does out perform a spring any day
3. when you say you want a custom tail and headlight ya gotta explain what you want, do you want them blakced out, do ya want a customized car, what do you want exactly
4. the hood well i dont know about what company makes one now for the alero but i can make you a hood i can mold a giant set of tits on it if ya want any customizing is going to cost you money thats the bottom line

For your lows get 8k up, 35w kit will be fine sence it's for looks. I get flashed allthe time with my 55w kit, I hate it. For your highs the 55w are surprising much brighter, so if you want to spend the extra 10 I think r's worth it. Around 6-8k would be good for optimal light output.
