Well everyone, it's been years and I never thought I would have went this far with Angel but here she is. At the end of it all. Here is the list:

CAI
Magnaflow high flow cat/muffler/resonator
2.5" downpipe
Pacesetter Headers
KYB AGX shocks
H&R Springs
35% Tint
Cleared Corners with HIDs
Infiniti Speakers and Kenwood Deck
Viper 5701 Alarm System
Regal Rims with Nero P-Zero All Weather Tires
Gauge Overlay
LED cupholder lighting/cubby LED lighting
Tower Brace front/rear (off now that I have the custom suspension)
WOT-TECH Engine Mount

Even though I might be missing something I cannot recall anything else. But I do not believe there is much more I can do. When the engine blows I will decide to either upgrade with WOT or let her go. In the meantime, I am thinking about rejuvenating some minor chips and rust start ups (see "fighting futility")

Some of you have been helping me from the start. What do you think of the product all these years later?

car looks great! only thing i WOULD change on it.....

the mirrors, if you could find some white mirrors from another alero in good condition, it would look super clean! but other then that its a very clean car. you're making me miss my car... she always looked this good. :(


too bad you no longer live in Ohio, it would be cool to visit and show you the 6 speed before i hit the road back to indiana when i pick her up from MMS.

I wish mine looked that good, the name "Angel" fits well!

I'd leave the mirrors as is, my white ones don't look good from the front side of the car

ah that black strip along the bottom of the windows that I had to repaint because it was fading something fierce? Doesn't that guard something though?

I know, I just like dishing it out to you whenever possible.

Anyway, Xander, is your front mesh white? Looks nice.

Sheesh Nate...attention whore :p

Thanks for showing me. I can see how it makes it look nice and smooth. Of course, I do worry about people throwing their doors at her. Is there a how-to to take them off?

The mesh is a stainless steel. I probably paid a lot more than I should have for it. It is only glued in a couple spots and the black guards hold it in. If I had to make a recommendation for putting them in, take out your headlights and go from the top. Going from the bottom was kind of a pita.

Thanks for the comments all.

And those headlights do look sexy don't they?

they just pull right off, some people used fishing wire and stuff to help. it just double stick holding them on, I dont thing they offered much protection anyway. I used a screw driver to get it started, just have to protect the pain if you use something to get it started like that.
