Hey! I'm New...

[PinkAlero04]

Hi. I just got a 2004 white 2 door Alero w/ a v6. I want to have pink incorparated into it somehow. I've been searching on the net and can't find anything pink. I don't have any pics yet but maybe I'll take some soon. I'm a 22 year old female from Wisconsin.

[Pimpalero03]

Awe come on Marie, not all of us boys are like that. :lol:

Welcome to the forums pinkAlero......Feel free to ask questions if the search engine fails ya.

Just a thought: If ya got a boyfriend with decent hands-on skill, you might wanna consider having him paint small bits of your interior trim a shade of pink. nothing way bright, but just enough to contrast against the grey. your interior is grey, right?

Maybe paint the stock wheels white to match the car, then paint the olds rocket symbols on the hubcaps pink also.

Seat covers: another way to customize your ride without sinking too much cash permanently.

:rolleyes: just a suggestion....

Let me rephrase that... the boys are bad but the men, like Youngblood, are not bad ;)

[vulgar]

welcome, you can try pink neons as well

[Spook]

Welcome to the boards. :thumbsup:
And pink...hmmmm...Yeah, could talk to Naich about some pink aleromod vynils.
Maybe do the calipers in hot pink too

[2000NavyAleroGLS]

Welcome to the site. Pink is a rather different color to go with. Brake clipers is one of the things that you could do. Pink seats. Dash could be done in pink. Probably some other things that you could do.

[smokinAMD]

Get one of those huge fuzzy steering wheel covers.

[2000NavyAleroGLS]

And you could get one of those seatbelt covers too.

[kwhauck]

welcome!!!!!

[PinkAlero04]

Thanks for all the welcomes and suggestions. I appreciate it!! I took some pictures of my car but it's not even all that clean. Ha! Oh well...

Yeah. I bought it this way. I've only had it since Monday.

[Youngblood77]

Ok......1st off: Nice post Marie lol :)

PinkAlero:

Ditch that pinstripe, paint the calipers pink, hit Naich up for some custom pink A-mod decals, clear the corners, and I think that striping the tails with white would look sweet as hell. :thumbsup:

[jackal2000]

and actually you could clear the corners of the headlights and paint the bezel pink :thumbsup:

and with a pink and white color scheme you might want to consider losing the graphics too

You don't think it would look alright just adding to it?? I'm new to all the mod stuff as well...

What does that mean exactly?? :unsure:

[Youngblood77]

Well, what I was describing was a very simple inexpensive, and NON-permanent mod to your existing tail lights. All you would need is 2 or 3 rolls of 1/4 inch white vinyl pinstripe, available at ANY automotive store nearest you. ( roughly 3 or 4 dollars per roll @ Autozone ) a razor or utility knife, and depending on how picky you are, an hour or two of your time. The how-to ( instructions ) can be found here:

http://invision.aleromod.com/index.php?showtopic=5722&st=0


Here's a picture showing the difference it makes on your lights. My ride's black, so I went with black. But as I mentioned, white would look awesome on your car.

i was too slow

Awesome! Thanks a lot!! I may try it this weekend and see how it looks. :)

[|Rev|]

Some Ideas for ya on a white and pink color scheme.
Like YB said, pin stripe the tails white,
Get white wheels,
Pink calipers,
Seat/ set covers (katskins)
Pink underglow would be awesome.

My friend and I did this kind of stuff to his g/f's Celica, turned out really nice, she went all out and dropped it, tinted the windows pink and all, if done right, it can be really cool.

And welcome to the site!
oh ad Marie, how do u decide if we are boys or men? I'm only 18, one of the younger members, so I was just wondering :thumbsup:

[Oldsman]

welcome to the family

[MikeSS]

Welcome, nice car.

Maybe put one small subtle pink pin stripe on either side of the car.

[ptrudel]

i don't usually like pink, but i think that it could be really interesting if you did it right :thumbsup:

MAlero, i think she'd be better off leaving the sides of the car clean and without pinstripes...thats my opinion though

It's all in how you treat us ladies ;)

Question for Pink... What made you decide on pink?

[misslindseysue]

Welcome!

Seat covers! (click for linky (http://www.shearcomfort.com/seatcovers/image-enlarge.asp?IMG=sc_hawiian-pink&PTN=p_hawiian-pink&SeatCoverType=Hawaiian&DisplayName=Hawaiian%20Pink&MaterialName=Hawaiian%20Pink))

I think a pinstripe that was actually little pink flowers would be really cool.

Because I love pink. That's why I got a white car so I could do pink things. I'd have a pink car if I could afford it and I'm not talking Mary Kay pink either. And you never see pink. I love pink and I'm not afraid to show it! :P But since pink isn't popular for auto stuff it's hard finding things.

Hey Thanks!! Those are pretty neat but I think I want solid pink. I'll probably have to make my own though cuz the only solid pink ones I find say Princess on them. :rolleyes: But I just did begin my search.

Do you have a picture of the celica??

[turtles_ride]

theres some great how to's on changing the inside fabric on your door section to another colour. you could also cover your armrest with pink material very easily, just 2 screws near the hinge to take it off, 4 screws holding the top to the innards, wrap it in fabric and use a glue gun or even short pins to hold the material on, put it back together and voila, pink it is in less then 1'2 an hour. BE AWARE once you start modding its hard to stop, kinda like piecings and tattoos. Alot of stuff can be done cheaply, its mostly just your time. If you go to a vinyl cutters they could slice up a piece of pink for you into quarter inch strips and you could go pink on your tails, white would definately be easier tho. I hope my howto on the tails is helpful.

[Spook]

Isnt pink supposed to be the new black. hahahahaha
I'm not all about pink either, but this could turn out to be pretty cool if done right. Keep us posted and put up some pics when you get em. B)

[Youngblood77]

Good call on the Underbody's Rev, Pink neons would be a sweet addition to her ride. :thumbsup:

[jturkey69]

a fellow wisconsinite finds her way home..lol..welcome...someone put the pics of the 442 alero up, she can get ideas from that

[PinkAlero04]

LMFAO @ my paintshop skills...at least I get the idea...what do you all think??

OH and btw...thanks for all the help!!

maybe this:

a blowdryer to heat it up and use your finger nail to start peeling it off. should come off pretty easy. then follow up with some type of residue remover to get the excess glue off. then be sure to wash your car to get the residue of the residue remover off. :lol:

[PinkAlero04]

Thanks!

I think I want less pink on the outside and a different shade. That'll probably be one of the later things to do since I already have that black one on and have just started the modding process.

sounds easy enough. Just wanted to make sure before I went and did it and tore the paint off or something. LoL

[turtles_ride]

actually your tails will look closer to being totally white, that is until you step on your brakes. That's the good think about putting the stripes on your lights, they're almost completely see thru when your brakes are on, and almost completely solid of which ever color you put on top when your cruisin around or the car is sitting still. I think it looks best when you put 1/4 inch striping 1/4 inch apart. Be patient and you will be happy with the results.

[|Rev|]

Are you planning on doing pink pinstriping or white? Or both?

[PinkAlero04]

Probably just white for now...

[|Rev|]

that will look sweet :thumbsup:
I am still undecided of wether to pinstripe my tails with black, or just to tint them...

[cutelilcntrygrl]

I'll probably get a lot of crap from this but that 442 Alero is just tacky, in my honest opinion.

[|Rev|]

^ I think it's way ugly, :huh:

[cutelilcntrygrl]

Glad someone agrees with me.

[smokinAMD]

Get one of those rubber wheel things. Thats the best way of taking off the pin stripe. Won't harm the paint. Either that or a pencil eraser.

I think it is the ugliest POS ever to come out of Oldsmobile.
Everytime I look at it I think it is some Ricer Kids car gone all wrong.
(sorry for the thread highjack)

[PinkAlero04]

I saw a different picture of that car and it looked purple not pink

[FormulaNERD]

i thought it was purple as well.

it could be ok with different rims, different/no decals, lowering springs, no wing, etc.

yeah i think the rims are the biggest turn off for me

[PinkAlero04]

I don't like the big square holes in the front...

[FormulaNERD]

i'm not sure if i like them or not.... take all the crap off and paint the car and we'll talk.

hmmmm... swat?

[FormulaNERD]

i forgot swat was out partying his ass off. so i chopped it myself.

Razzi looks better IMO

[turtles_ride]

that front bumper lools like an older aurora or something, i think i saw a white one driving around the falls today. I agree rozzi kit would look much nicer, done whorin now.

Welcome PinkAlero04 of Wisconsin! I am cheesehead too, I'm from Milwaukee :cheers: though I live in KC now...and I'm 22!

Welcome to the site! :thumbsup: I thought the 442 front end looked good in FormulaNERD's photo. I happen to love the old 442's of yesteryear.
