alero with fender stripes?

[sleepyalero]

yeah, thats what it says. after seeing grand ams on GAGT with em i started to like em. so i figured id buy some and put em on, and honestly i really like the look. now they are light blue, reason why is because my calipers are light blue and it matches pretty well if the calipers were clean. it will flow better once i put the 18s back on in the spring and i clean the calipers up.

now i dont want to hear alot of trash on color or anything i would like a simple "i dont like it" and a reason why you dont just want to know your opinion in a nice way :D but i like the idea and havent seen an alero with em yet, maybe because no one likes how it looks or what. but i did it and love the look. on to the pics!

[Shiwnath]

[sleepyalero]

[01Alero]

I like it, looks good.
IMO i might have gone with a grey stripe though

that would have looked good too, but i like colors to kinda stand out so getting a stripe to match the calipers sounded good to me and also wanted it to stand out well, idk why, but all the grand ams ive seen there stripes stood out alot but looked good at the same time. but glad you like it! and i appreciate the opinion! :)

this is exactly what I was thinking, dark grey would looks amazing on there. but the blue does look pretty good itself.

side note: when are you going to lower that thing!?

[xXManwhoreXx]

Is that masking tape bro....

[sleepyalero]

[Gr1m]

waiting for the first idiot who masks off these stripes on their fenders and sprays that plasticdip shit on it.

I wonder who it will be?:rolleyes2:

[Papa Rad17]

Funny. Because I was thinking about doing the same thing. I don't think it will look good on mine... I really like sleepy's though

[a.graham52]

i wunder if they would have looked better facing the other direction?
i would have gone with the gray or silver stripe that way they stand out well but not too well.

[kwhauck]

I'm indifferent, not really a fan, but don't really hate it either....

[BearingBuddy]

Unique.. looks to be a nice compliment to the calipers. (Drawing attention to detail). Not my cup of tea however.
But, I have to comment on those AVS visors, they look out of place on an otherwise sharp looking Ho. WeatherTech dark would be a better blend.

never seen anyone with them facing a different direction on GAGT. i liked this way better anyway.

glad to see you dont despise it. :)

thanks, and the rain guards, eh maybe.... but it looks fine to me and no reason to waste the money on another set when these dont have a problem with em and they still do what they are ment for. :p

I kinda like it actually even with the blue to match because isn't that the purpose? My ONLY suggestion and opinion (if I were to do it) is move them more toward the front of the car on the fender. And what's wrong with trying it with plasti-dip, especially if one has some left over, to try it first just to see? Truely is a lot of negativity on this site ever since I joined 8 years ago. It's different and creative, the point of this site. Ask for help and get ideas, CONSTRUCTIVE critisism, and opinions. Not to be slammed and slandered against. Our cars are slowly becoming old and most going to shit with little aftermarket help so let the few on here that care and try... do just that. Now back to the topic.

[Williamleo]

I agree with luckilero7.

[Papa Rad17]

:agree: I agree with luckilero7.

:awesome:

well on gagt i saw em more of in the center, idk i like it where its at. but who knows it might look better further up, only way i will know is if someone else does it. ;) and i agree with you. i tend to avoid getting into scuffs with a comment.

[whiterider00]

i actually tried this months ago to see what it would look like. only did the drivers side, but didnt care for it too much.

that was just some blackout tape i had left over, obviously not that good of a job. but i prefer the clean look better. yours looks great tho.

[Papa Rad17]

^ I think that might look better with a little bigger stripes. But the side mirrors, legit.

[a.graham52]

never seen anyone with them facing a different direction on GAGT. i liked this way better anyway.





i had to go look at our corvette grand sport and the stripes are facing the same way yours are... so your off the hook :p

[MMGT1]

First off, that works on "that" car. I would have said no for sure until I saw the pics. I actually saw the post pop up a few times under new post and never even looked because I did not want to offend anyone...lol Well, I was wrong on this one bud, I think it looks dam good! The colour of the car and the rims you picked makes it work imo. Secondly, I was going to make a comment about the stripe paying homage to the Vette, but 52 there beat me to it. :cool:

[NONE]

seen a couple ga's like this, always wanted to see how it would look. . . looks great!
