To Kit, Or Not To Kit?

[|Rev|]

Alright heres the shpeal, the CF hood is ordered, and my dad and I were talking, at first I told myself not to count on getting a kit out of the insurance deal with my current fender-bender. But since I am doing ALL the work by myself, we are going to have extra money to spend, and the rear bumper also needs to be replaced. So I ran the idea of getting the AAS kit by my dad, I could get it for cheaper than two GM bumper covers with my VIP discount. My dads hangar use to be for painting planes, and we know someone who is going to let us borrow the "professional" painting equipment.
The only thing that is holding me back, is that if I do this, the only performance mod I will have by ASS is an exaust and intake.... Doesn't it seem weird to have a kitted car w/ a CF hood and only exaust and intake???
give me your oppinions on the idea, NOT THE KIT

[Travis99Alero]

i vote no.

[Naich]

i vote yes

[alerored04]

i say go for it, and your dad has a hangar!! do you guys have some planes then?

[Rubered00]

i say yes. Sometimes there is nothing wrong with being "all show and no go"

[johny_boy32]

i vote yes too

[sound_xtreme]

i think everyone knows my opinion on the AAS kit. personally i'd get the razzi(since i obviously did) if i didnt want to spend 2k on the *** kit.

but as mentioned earlier theres nothing wrong with being all show no go, thats what my car is at the moment.

[smlzalero]

Heck yeah, Rev! If you've got everything you ned to do it all yourselves, do it. You have the opportunity to get the kit now, you can always do performance mods later, nothing wrong with that. :)

[Pimpalero03]

all i had on my alero was cai and exhaust. rest was all looks obviously

[AGT]

Its a step forward either way...depends on what you are after speed or looks.

Best advice I can give you. Speed gets you in trouble and looks get s you attention.

[flalero]

I would say no on any kit, especially that one. If you do get one, get the Razzi. I like how the Alero looks with its stock body lines.

[aleroman8]

I said yes. Agreed with the others. I don't mind all show and no go. My friend has a nice Civic Hatchback that looks sweet. He's getting ready to do an engine swap and his car is for show only.

[rowdygls]

if you gotta replace your bumpers...get the kit.

[jackal2000]

go for it

I agree

[justinusaf]

I say yes even though you were a jackass for getting those threads closed. You dont have to have all the performance mods to look good. You are already spending the money to fix the car. Damn... make it look better.

[|Rev|]

hmm, I'll talk to some people around here, isn't there some money that needs to be spent to get it to fit? Right now, it's lookin like I am going to go ahead and do it.

[rowdygls]

nope...you can make the kit fit yourself, no extra money needed. if ya got ?'s, give me a shout.

[forbidden]

go for it bro..

[jackal]

If you already have to why not?

[alerored04]

words from a wise man. rev i think you already made up your mind about the kit you just wanna know what every one else thinks. I know that when i spend some cash on a mod i go back and forth for a while but i know that in the end the money ends up leaving my pocket. so i cant wait to see the results.

[|Rev|]

90% sure I am ordering it tomorrow :D

[smlzalero]

^Sweet! :thumbsup:

Good, you'll be happy with the results, that's all that matters, not what everyone else thinks. :thumbsup:

[rowdygls]

one more word of advice on the kit...find some vinyl protect and put it behind the tires. the rocks coming up will chew the paint and kit up

[FormulaNERD]

you dont need to worry about rockchips unless you're using rattle can for the kit, and if you using rattle can for the kit, i vote no on your poll.

[rowdygls]

my Kumho's pick up so much sand and small rocks that they land in my rear bumper. they also wore the paint off and started pitting the kit.

[|Rev|]

So like just behind the tirs? Or on the outside of the kit as well?
And no Formula, were using the "professonal" (whatever the crap that means) car paint, gonna do everything right.

^ You have the kumho ecsta's 711? If they grab a lot, I better do something for protection. Especially with the tires I'm getting early Summer.

[kwhauck]

do what you want........i vote no.....but if you do order it, i'll help you put in on, it's not that hard.....

[rowdygls]

right behind the tires, and it really depends on how picky you are on how your car looks. it just bugged me to see the paint basically sand blasted off. i have the 712

you're dumb dont talk. get the clear vinyl poop, i didn't and regretted it. i will be now that i repainted the car tho

[|Rev|]

^ is taht the clear bra stuff? I'll check into it

[sound_xtreme]

ya, i think ask crazytaxi about it

[rowdygls]

i can give ya quick ballpark quote cuz i asked him about for my car. he said to do the bumper, hood, and other prone areas was between 400 and 500. otherwise if youre really serious ask him about and see if he can get you a more definitive quote.

[Crazytaxi37]

The quote on that I found out is $550. Custom made for the AAS KIT. That isn't purchased through me. That is through FAT CITY DESIGNS. Rev, you won't be able to get that through them unless Randy gets his done there because it would be a custom kit and a alero with that kit would need to be done first.

[sound_xtreme]

can ya just get sheets of it?

[Redog]

Since you gotta replace it anyway, I vote yes. Otherwise I'd say no

[|Rev|]

Ordering it right now!! I'm soo excited!

[|Rev|]

soo, they were closed when I called them, so I am gonna call them tomorrow and order it
