OFFICIAL: What did you do to your Alero today?

[xXManwhoreXx]

Huh?

[Nas Escobar]

Hahahahaha maybe another 4 dr ;)

I personally feel these N body sedans have the feel and look of 4 door coupes. IDK why, there's just something about them.

[sleepyalero]

Manwhore it was a joke lol

Nas idk why I like 4 dr Alero's better. They just gotta be done right.

[sleepyalero]

well i took my baby out for a bath :) next is a wax. shes my valentine. :lol: not kidding. even though she was already clean i felt it was needed because i havent done it in awhile and its 50* out right now. so we spent some time together and went on a small cruise. :)

shes my valentine. :lol: not kidding.


Sounds like a rough night :awesome:

[sleepyalero]

haha hey my car comes before ANY girl. atleast destiny doesnt nag at me ;)

[tw0123]

^^unless you miss first gear!!! :)

[mfuller]

At least he doesn't bounce her off the 6700RPM rev limiter like I do...

[sleepyalero]

Hahahahahah can never miss first gear, it won't even let you go into first unless you are at a dead stop pretty much, and no I don't take it that high. About 5900-6000 is where I shift at. :)

[Nas Escobar]

haha hey my car comes before ANY girl. atleast destiny doesnt nag at me ;)

Or try to play games with you.

That reminds me.... I needa wash the Grand Am and the Cutlass.

[tw0123]

got the safety done today... apparently the front calipers are seized and a rear caliper is starting to grab... this blows!!! at least I still have spares from my other cars :)

[sleepyalero]

Or try to play games with you.

Exactly lol. Women are a hassle 99% of the time.

Get to washin!!!


Two - dang that sucks. Brakes are not terribly expensive though.

Brakes can get expensive, depending on what you use.

I like to use ceramic pads and that holds me back $50, but comes out $35 with rebates at Advance Auto.

The calipers are usually $100 and the rotors are usually $50, but I always end up knocking $20 bucks or so off the price. Just depends what offers AAP has.

[tw0123]

Im ok for the brakes... have 2 sets of front calipers to use and rear as well :) if anything ill just need new pads ... i love having 3 aleros with upgraded parts i might even toss the impala brakes on the front... hmmm decisions decisions lol

[sleepyalero]

Go corvette!

[mfuller]

Brakes can get expensive, depending on what you use.

Wait till you get a load of my new calipers....

[sleepyalero]

Oh god. Yeah wait for that! Lol

[tw0123]

Corvette are too expensive for a winter beater/daily driver... plus the stock 16's wont clear for my snow tires hahaha

Matt i can't wait to see what you have come up with now... I'm sure it will be a killer set up that saves weight and improves braking for the track!!

[xXManwhoreXx]

He already has c7 brakes

[sleepyalero]

He already has c7 brakes

Just wait.... His new Idea is insane.

Two. Good point, that's why you go 17 ;)

[tw0123]

I already have 17's for the summer for it but the snow tires are on the stock 16 rims... they are brand new so no point in letting them go to waste as i wont be able to sell them for what i paid or for enough to upgrade to 17's with snows...

[sleepyalero]

Yeah I feel ya, I'm just giving you a hard time. :)

[DeeJayy]

Today I replaced my coolant tank with the acdelco one. Also replaced my lower radiator hose :)

[03Sleepr]

plowed the roads with it :awesome:

[Alerojester]

bought all the parts for my engine so SOON Bullet will be back on the roads after 3 almost 4 years:yahoo:

WOOT! good to hear!

[03glgold]

plowed the roads with it :awesome:

yeah, I wish I had good enough tires to allow that...how much do you have for snow...out here in hays mine is a huge snow drift again, I already cleaned so I could get to the street once, I went out and got the snow off of it but there is a foot and a half of snow behind it again, and it is still falling

[03Sleepr]

My tires are shot, I think the wire showing gave me some extra traction.

we have probably 5-6" but the forecast says we should expect 7 more inches of snow by tomorrow night. It's been falling since yesterday afternoon.

[03glgold]

its been falling since yesterday morning here...I am pretty sure we are around 2 ft and gaining a little...I am not sure when the last official measurement was taken but it was 21" and we are supposed to get another 3-4 tonight...I don't like large amounts of snow, and the whole tire thing doesn't sound good but mine did better with nearly bald tires than the tires it has now...they claim to be all season but I am calling bullshit

[DeeJayy]

Never snows here lol.. More north about 30 miles it does though. Up in Big Bear :)

[MiLo]

today i went to Home Depot to buy me some Plasti Dip...
Im gonna black out my stockers, smoke my tails.. (btw my lero is white)
i wanna clear my corners when it stops snowing.. should i paint the bezel??
and thinking of putting HID's in my heads mayb 8000k or 10000k i havent decided yet... whats better 35w or 55w?? should i do slim ballast?
LED's in my tails later... ohh and definitely tint 20% rear and back window, 35% fronts.... and what do u all think?????

[03glgold]

You got/getting vht as well

[MiLo]

You got/getting vht as well

whats vht?

[xXManwhoreXx]

Taillight tint spray... normal paint will get you rear ended

[MiLo]

when i order my HID's there is an option for:
Mounting Brackets: for 35w ballasts
HID Harness: dual in, dual out
Error Eliminator: bow3
Adaptor cables: h1/h7 to 9006

do i need these items????

[MiLo]

Taillight tint spray... normal paint will get you rear ended

i was gonna try the plasti dip smoke, like 2 coats

[03glgold]

if you plastidip your taillights, then no light will get through and you WILL get hit...got to a parts store and get vht nightshades...it is made for tinting your tails...it is like 12 dollars a can but there is enough to do several lights, and 12 dollars to do it in a more proper way and not get rear ended is a lot cheaper than using what you have and having your car smashed

[sleepyalero]

:lol: plasti dip your lights????!!!!

Yeah umm no.... It's a rubberized coating, NO light will shine through, PERIOD. VHT tail light tint is what you want. NOT plasti dip.............


:lol: :lol:


Where did you even get this idea?

[billytheman1188]

i was gonna try the plasti dip smoke, like 2 coats

WINNING :usa:

[cavaliers60]

Gave the alero a good tune up. New plugs, wires, and ignition coils. Runs smooth and no problems starting up now. :)

[sleepyalero]

Started my car for the first time in about 3 weeks. Damn winter.. I miss driving her! :(

[Papa Rad17]

Im driving my granny car right now to. it sucks!

[AleroB888]

took 16 inch Alero wheels/tires out of storage, put them on the red '03, took the 15 inch Alero wheels/tires off the '03 and put them on the '99, took the Chevy 15's off the '99, put 2 in storage and kept 2 out for uh, utility use :p

so we're rolling all Olds again, atm

[sleepyalero]

It's a tire kinda day.

[AleroB888]

It's a tire kinda day.

on top of that, the 16s on the '03 have the original Goodyears on them, so they need to be replaced soon. Don't know to go for max Summer traction, or just cheapo light this time

[sleepyalero]

My winter set of fuzion hri's (16's - all season) are bald and still get great traction in the snow. Ill have to get a quick picture of how low the tread is. But I ran em a couple times last winter, and to Ohio and back home for mms. Since I didn't want my 18s at his shop cause they are my nice wheels. But despite how low they get great traction so I don't feel the need to replace them until they become a problem.

But now, I might have to sell them because with the new bear brakes the 16s won't fit so now I gotta find a set of 17s. Or just not get new tires/rims. And keep the 18s since the car stays in the garage for winter.. But if I HAVE to take the car out in the snow I wouldn't want the 18s out In it.. decisions decisions.

[sleepyalero]

my 16s tread depth (winter set) like i said they are still awesome even though its crazy low

annoying weekend for me

friday
- flattened intake manifold flange
- scraped gasket material off surfaces and cleaned
- found out the laser cut gasket i had my coworker make didn't fit on the car, caused a huge vacuum leak. (used the outdated DXF before I finalized the drawing)

saturday
- hand cut new intake manifold gasket
http://ion-productions.com/2013-02-23_13-39-03_994.jpg

- scraped old material off, prepped surfaces, again

sunday
- hand cut new throttle body gasket
- prepped both surfaces
- installed everything, works.

a few days ago
exhaust tips
http://ion-productions.com/2013-02-20_17-42-40_873-1.jpg



coming soon (tomorrow-ish)
- oil pressure gauge
- fender stripes
- remove and reinstall turbo using Rocksett on housing bolts.

[billytheman1188]

Well today was interesting.....driving to my sisters house and the battery light comes on....ok....now i'm worried. Keep driving and the radio goes real low....even more worried now....then a couple min later all my gauges turn off....then the car dies right at a busy intersection....luckily i was able to get over to the right AND luckily i was within 3 miles of my mechanic (tow company charges when over 3 miles). So right now she's sitting in the lot waiting to get worked on....which i'm too mad about....any other time i would be pissed but i've been putting off bringing it in for a while now so it's about time i get all these "glitches" fixed. Just hope it's not too much....poor Robin :( Def not taking care of her like i should be

[Newlin]

Finally fixed the window clips earlier today, it took but an hour and now I can use the drive thru and car wash without opening my door!

Thought about replacing the fuel filter but I didn't have jack stands on hand.

Most drive through car washes suck...anytime any of my families vehicles has been through one it has had to be rewashed anyways so there is really no point...not only that but they are more expensive than if you just get out and wash it

[xXManwhoreXx]

If I buy new window clips who would put them on at ass for me lol

[tw0123]

Got the ownership all changed over for the 5 speed and got a temporary sticker to start driving it... tonight I'll call the insurance company and have it put on my policy and start driving it... have ten days to get some runs with it before i get my emissions test then full sticker to be free :) so close!!

this calls for a celebration

God that thing is a baby eater

[guiguilandry]

yeah, this thing is a monster... 400whp would be nice!!!!!!!!!!!

It also include the kit needed to have a 8 rib belt !!!

I'll mod it a little to remove the second bypass valve (previous owner was twincharged) and put my 78mm throttle body... this one is too small
also I'll put a zzp stage 3 cobalt heat exchanger

[Nas Escobar]

If I buy new window clips who would put them on at ass for me lol

Don't be lazy man. That's one of the easier things to do on this car. Chip off the old clips and glue on the new ones. It only takes about an hour, and that's mostly getting the door panel off and the window out. It's easier to do it when the window is out the door.

[Papa Rad17]

Better hold on tight once that baby is dropped in. Be sure to keep updated!

[billytheman1188]

C2;633715']alternator of course

That pisses me off cause i have a H/O alt that i got prob like 3 years ago. Beyond annoyed right now....

took turbo off, installed new bolts with Rocksett applied along with nord-lock washers last night. fantastic time as usual. more cussing was had than ever. my hands are killing me after the past 4 days of working on shit. lol

The main bypass valve is the hardest thing to engineer w/the intercooler. It will take me all Summer to build one like that. You need it to maintain that instant SC response and cruising economy. http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n491/guiguilandry/IMG_2725_zps48a68e79.jpg

I just made a new SC gasket with some blue stuff, what's the thickness on yours? What all kinds of material can he laser-cut? What did you hand-cut it with?

[[ion] C2]

i used an x-acto knife. i have the CAD data for the intake gasket, i just plotted it full size and weighted it down on top of the material and cut it with the knife.

this material I got from AutoZone, it's probably 2mm thick, not sure.

we can laser cut all sorts of stuff. it's how i made this (https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/179530_10151143308955802_1393871157_n.jpg)

[Newlin]

Changed the spark plugs, IAT sensor and the upstream o2 sensor last night. I attempted to get the downstream as well but it was on there good. After a few hours of PB blasting and letting it sit overnight I finally broke down and took it to my mechanic to change.

I meant to get the fuel filter changed as well but most of my time was absorbed by that sensor.

[Nas Escobar]

Updated the registration on it... Yup it's a boring day.

[DeeJayy]

Washed and wax, also put dynamat behind my license plate and frame. Yay lol

put on the front strut bar on the 5 speed today... :) then put in a radio and front speakers... then froze my ass off trying to take the rear speakers out and said screw it for today!!!

[DeeJayy]

Welp today was an interesting day, Took apart the throttle body, cleaned it with all that crud that was in there -_-. replaced my thermostat, thing was like stuck closed. Put it back together then I started it, vroom 3.5 rpm straight up. Looked at it again. Forgot to nut down the clamp that holds it shut lol. And yes I replaced the gasket for the throttle body. But overall. Car hasn't overheated.. Yet..

Yesterday took the car for emissions testing... under new Ontario rules it "failed" because it was not ready... mechanic says druve it 30 km and come back in 24 hrs and we'll do a 2 speed idle emissions test. It passed and now she's all stickered up and on the road for the year :) happy day

[sleepyalero]

glad i dont have all that testing

[03Sleepr]

glad i dont have all that testing

me too, my car couldn't pass even the most lenient testing right now..

[03glgold]

I follow that motion...I am not sure between my parents and my vehicles if any of them would pass much testing at all, the newer vehicles could pass a lenient version, but they are all running original o2 sensors that are wearing down, the burban with the lowest currently at 132k (already got around 15k since the purchase in october), my alero at 158,6xx, and my dads 02 chevy with 166k, not only that but all have original cats, as for the 97' it is also all original emissions stuff and the fact that it used to get around 20mpg, temporarily threw a oxygen sensor code and since then gets about 12mpg, it has issues, and my truck doesn't have anything past the catalytic converter and all the honeycomb blew out of that

[Babyblue]

No pics, But I got the stock rims I ordered(chrome finish, 16 inch). I got the toyo prxes 4 on my car. Also put the reverse halo gauges on my car. More to come. I will reveal what my alero looks like at ASS.

[tw0123]

I wish we didn't have the testing up here... but at this point who cares... she passed the second test and is on the road now... don't need to worry for 2 years...

I just called a mechanics shop today and scheduled an appointment to my new tires put on....they're gonna check out what's causing my baby to have some major wheel hop under heavy acceleration and they will check why my tranny likes to shift weird. Hopefully all the bugs are taken care of cause i can't stand not being able to drive Robin like i want to ;) Gotta wake up at the crack of dawn tomorrow to go switch my wheels over at my buddies...drop her off and wait.

[Babyblue]

$650 to take out the rot rust and make it look new. I haven't been whipping my ho like I want. But the time will come soon enough.

[Papa Rad17]

^Leds in the headlights look good up there. I did something similar with leds on my old headlights. I want to wrap the whole headlight and for lights when I get the new one :cool:

[tw0123]

got to work yesterday with a headache... smelled of gas... uh oh... called my mechanic... he looked at it today... rotten fuel lines... figures... the brake lines were replaced before safety, figured these wouldn't be far behind... all fixed up with neoprene lines now... no more rusting lines for this one :)
and back on the road in 24 hrs woohoo!!!

[billytheman1188]

Got the car back today....new tires. Tranny problem is fixed. Just have to fix the broken window clips and rust and I'll be set for a while. Then I can save up for a new enkei rim and 4 new tires for them. Then the saving for a built 3500 can begin ;)

[Babyblue]

Getting her back from the body shop. They re welded on both front fenders because they both rotted same with the rocker panel by the back driver. The fender where the body meets the back bumper got re welded because of the rot rust. All n all I spent $700.00 He cut me a deal because we have brought a good amount of business. So no more rust for me :)

[guiguilandry]

that's a cheap price for that kind of repairs !!
700$

[cavaliers60]

Spent about $600 getting new outer Tie Rods replaced, new power steering pump, and a couple other minor things. Car drives much better now. Now I just need to get some interior work done.

[Babyblue]

Looks good. Was it worth the money?

[sleepyalero]

id say so. :)

[i4g3t]

is it coming or going? i cant tell ahahha installed hids in my reverse light housing

[sleepyalero]

hids in reverse lights? is that even possible?

[i4g3t]

Yup :-) 15w 6000k. 194 plug

[sleepyalero]

can i ask why? i mean awesome for being different i just dont see the idea of doing it? maybe for seeing better when backing up?

[sleepyalero]

picked up 3 sets of bulbs. new rear amber turn signal bulbs for the rear because the new tails signals are cleared and it looks stupid with a white light flashing (bulb is white)

new reverse lights because one is out. almost got the light blue sylvania long life but thought, why spend 10$ on bulbs that will rarely be on. :lol:

and new side marker rear bulbs. tail light is clear there so i bought red bulbs.



http://i921.photobucket.com/albums/ad58/natesalero/1AF7B514-BC41-4D7D-90AC-AF14F358483C-1435-00000090F91874D6_zpsa6eb2bd0.jpg

[tw0123]

Sleepy... take those back and get leds to match the rest!!! Lol

[xXManwhoreXx]

Seriously.....

[sleepyalero]

okay well the red bulbs were more pink and did NOT match. so i returned and went with red LED. pics to come...

[TDavis]

Well yea they didn't match, thats because they are not behind a red lens like the circle is lol

[Babyblue]

I wanna pair :(

[sleepyalero]

damn it tanner the bulbs were red! they should have!

oh well leds match 10x better

[AnderbrA]

I always opted to leave out that little corner bulb with the LED sets because it is out of place. And yeah, any painted bulb goes to crap. Red is always pink in a few weeks. I should figure out something to replace that lil guy with. Maybe shave it, and put a row of red LEDs in with the mesh. :-\

[TDavis]

damn it tanner the bulbs were red! they should have!

oh well leds match 10x better

Well yea but regardless something behind a colored lens will be more of a bolder color then the other, they wouldn't match in return lol.

Plus in this case the red coated bulbs have a white light illuminating them=more pinkish color

[sleepyalero]

anderbra - yeah, i had those bulbs out for a good time in my stock tails, never liked em.

tanner - yeah i know, just screwin with you. lol

who knows, i might keep those bulbs on or take it out. that bulb is very hard to appreciate why its there haha.

[i4g3t]

I did it so I can see more. I just had my windows tinted and couldn't see threw my back window at night.. now I can plus they look bad ass. I also have a set of 3157 hids but they don't look right in the front

[Babyblue]

I have the 5% all the way around and a few inches on the windshield. At night it was hard to see for the first couple months. Now my eyes kinda adapted to it I guess you could say.

[mfuller]

Today I made a very small simple modification to the instrument panel.
Can you see it?

Why not just get 2 switchbacks instead of one amber LED then a switcback LED? Or it that amber LED just a parking lamp and not apart of the blinker?

[tw0123]

the amber is the switchback... for some reason it is backwards... stupid cheap Chinese garbage... it glows amber on running light and flashes white for the turn signal... kinda ruins the look lol... oh well... it'll do for now :)

[guiguilandry]

Tim, maybe you can switch your wires ??

[Babyblue]

I brought my car to the shop today to get a coolant leak checked out. What happens is when ever I stomp on the gas around 3500 to red line the car starts spitting coolant from the rear of the engine. Went to the shop twice in a month and the second time they find a clamp is shot going to the heater core. I figured it was something small like that because my car wasn't making any bad noises. It was free but I brought the guys some drinks to thank em anyway.

[xXManwhoreXx]

And now they will hook you up for life!

[tw0123]

Nah i wish... i have tried swapping the bulb around crossing wires etc... that's the only way it works :(

[03Sleepr]

28# injectors, egr delete...pulled my headers to weld these stupid effing slip joints that always leak..broke some plastic pipe running into the front valve cover...new Wot-tech PCM..

[03Sleepr]

auto stores have em, gm dealer, junk yard.

I figured, but what's it called? and is it under pressure or could I slip a piece of tubing over it for a temp fix?

[Babyblue]

egr delete? What does that do exactly?

[sleepyalero]

egr delete (i have it) the egr re filters dirty fumes back into your intake to make it cleaner. it keeps the motor a little cleaner inside but it can add 1 mpg or minus 1-2 mpg if you delete it. i like not having it. plus i dont have a cat either.

as for the hose its a pcv hose i believe, you might be able to temp fix it, never had a problem with mine so idk.

[happyisthealero]

does deleting the egr help hp or torque?

I was considering doing it, but it my MPG goes down there is no point

[Papa Rad17]

Put on door panel reupholstered piece. check all fluids, DRIVE!!!!!! and replace a few a lights.

[03Sleepr]

does deleting the egr help hp or torque?

I was considering doing it, but it my MPG goes down there is no point

if it does the gain is minimal, I only deleted mine to make it look cleaner under the hood...plus I don't like all the build up from it recycling my exhaust..

Yep it all works, this is the simple one that comes in the jimmy and astro. It only does temp.

[sleepyalero]

omg sick!!!! very nice!!! i would think about doing it, but i got a sunroof, ill choose that over the overhead lights :) but all in all, very nice man.

[sleepyalero]

Well didn't do anything but bought some things...

Preparing for my PP UIM/lim swap. (Whenever I get the time) went to autozone when they opened this morning to get some coolant (2 gal, I need to refresh my coolant anyway this year, I do it every year.) new serpentine belt. Mine chirps a lot when cold.. Won't replace till after manifold swap though. And thanks to Greg (alerob888) for the permadry felpro gasket part number, I had em look it up and just my luck they had one, JUST ONE in stock. 79.99 was the price. All in all, I spent 150$ thismorning there. :lol:

Still need a new thermostat, and oil for the job, other then that I'm set. Just gotta get the time to do it. Goal is to get it done before ASS. We'll see.

Cleaned the inside of my ho, Except the carpet. Witch I will take out clean when it is warmer out.

[Truth]

things ive put in since my last pic:
HIDs, cleared corners, front struts, strut bars, fixed alot of wiring problems, new brakes, foglights, new front windshield, replaced passenger front and rear window motors, cleaned interior, rewired my headunit, replaced interior lights with LEDs, and side mirrors with LED turn signals.

http://i45.tinypic.com/favhuu.jpg

[Babyblue]

Put hawk hps pads on the front and lubed all four break slides and pistons. Got to the passenger side caliper and the seal is bad where it meets the piston, so I got a new one coming in tomorrow. Also I replaced my belt because it chirped on cold starts and sometimes when warm.

[Babyblue]

You got yours done by Milzy too?

[sleepyalero]

yes he did.

[03gxeco]

changed my ignition lock cyl and passlock sensor

[tw0123]

swapped my wheels and tires from front to back... apparently one tire has a low spot on it that was causing severe wheel vibration when it was on the front... had the shop check it out, all 4 balanced out even, no unusual belt shifting just a low spot on one tire... they said I probably had it on the back last summer and didn't notice it...

[MiLo]

i want to paint my calipers so while i was at walmart today i almost bought the rustoleum extreme heat spray paint, but wasnt sure if that was a good idea. is this good enough for the calipers or should i go with something else??

[sleepyalero]

i used engine enamel. high heat will work too.

[Babyblue]

Finished up my breaks. But the driver side is acting like the pad is gone and its doing that scratch noise when the pad is out. whats wrong? I didn't know how to search it.

[mfuller]

Nothing really new but I did drive it to work today. Forgot how loud this thing is.
Decent overall pic of the projectors though.

[Nas Escobar]

Wired up the Cutlass for subs, now I got 2 cars that are nice and loud.

[03Sleepr]

Swapped in the new new PCM again (after shipping it back once to be fixed already) and it still isn't running right. So I locked it up and walked away. I'm sick of this bs.

Not what i did but what i have to do now....it never ends....get into my car today, start it, headunit flips up...screen doesn't work. Had this Pioneer HU for about 5 years now. So i will be ordering a kenwood HU within the week. No more screens for me....just getting a regular style one....double din though. This one seems pretty sweet....can run my phone through it.


Also, need a new front right hub assembly....one that i just bought not too long ago... SFK brand. It never ends :/

I don't mean to brag, but its been in the upper 70's and sunny here the past few days and we're looking at highs in the lower 80's for tomorrow and Thursday.

must be nice...i have a cold and every time it is almost gone there is a rapid temperature swing that brings it back completely...yesterday was short sleeve temperature and right now it is almost winter coat temps

[That01Olds]

Yeah the only thing that sucks is the pollen is out in full swing. I washed my car Sunday and then came out Monday to see it covered in the crap. Needless to say I don't like pollen. Anyway get to feeling better man and summer will be here before you know it.

I guess my dad got me a early B-day present :D

12" Powerslot slotted Impala rotors. I decided to say screw the rear big upgrade and just get regular GA slotted rotors to match these since upgrading the rears doesn't make THAT much of a difference. Surprising on how heavy these things are.

still need baer front brake upgrade.

[TDavis]

If i had a garage, didn't daily it, and didn't have to take off my 18s during the winter I would. Still spent a quarter of the price of the Baers on these and still getting a nice upgrade so go shove your baers up your non daily driving ass ;D

BTW random thought, if I was you I would of painted the center "hub" on your rotor black or something, that brown/copper color sticks out in an odd way. Knowing your color coordinating ass I'd thought you would of done that.

The rotor hats are anodized aluminum for weight savings. Paint won't hold up very well.
They were originally black, but after several track days with heating/cooling cycles, they changed to more of a purple/brown.
They've been exercised in the way they were intended to; no poseurs here.

Nice work!
Were you able to get the original hood opening angle (or slightly lower)? I ask because greater than that and high wind can be a problem. I want to do that on my other cars as well, what's the part#? It also frees up a little space in the pass. side front of engine compartment.

[Nas Escobar]

The better question is how hard is it to do it?

I was thinking about taking some OEM ones from the JY.

[sleepyalero]

looks fairly easy, especially if the car has the slots for prop rods, make it a little easier.

Nice work!
Were you able to get the original hood opening angle (or slightly lower)? I ask because greater than that and high wind can be a problem. I want to do that on my other cars as well, what's the part#? It also frees up a little space in the pass. side front of engine compartment.
Thanks. The gas hood supports hold the hood a negligible amount lower than where the prop rod holds it. The hardware is pretty solid - as long as you follow the directions on how to fasten everything, it's not going anywhere.

Nothing really new but I did drive it to work today. Forgot how loud this thing is.
Decent overall pic of the projectors though.

Matt these lights are freaking sexy! This was a great looking mod! What is the total cost for parts and labor for these?

added 8000k hid fog lights... just wish both low beams worked... one ballast doesn't work, ebay replacement doesn't work, probably going to end up buying a whole new kit...

I recommend hids from ddmtuning. I got my high and low beams and couldn't be more happy with the quality and they have a lifetime warranty on them I think. They might cost more but definitely worth it!

I got a ddmtuning kit used from a member here and the one ballast is toast... plus their shipping charges are outrageous for me... bought a kit for my other alero and it was almost $50 just for shipping... i can buy 4 ebay kits cheaper than 1 from ddm unfortunately

Spent 3 hours cleaning up my headlights...while it looks like I never wash my car, I really do, it has been washed multiple times since I posted the first picture and even waxed once, but mother nature hates my car to be clean and throws crap weather at us any time I decide to clean it
