Alero Boser Hood

[-Alero-]

hey guys i was thinking about what an alero would look like with a boser hood like the VW's have.

offcourse if this hood were ever possible, it would all be custom along with the fenders to match.

BTW i did this with paint, cause im too poor for photoshop.

[RoninKouga]

here's a try with photoshop...and a lil more aggressive headlight coverage..

[Vtolds]

You call that a photoshop :Noooo: J/k I actaully did some of this in paint then finished it in Photoshop.

[ptrudel]

ya but see...you like this kinda stuff...that was my first attempt in like almost 2 months...meh...looks alrite tho...one thing to make it look beetter tho , try to make the center part a lil more square...it goes too much in a "V" in the middle

[Crolero]

thats a lot better, now it looks pissy!


now just add the HID projectors and some angel eyes and your set.

[-Alero-]

so is it possible to get this done at a body shop?

or do i have to modify the lever that allows you to open the hood?

[FormulaNERD]

it's very possible to get done, and you can use all the stock hood latch, etc, you just might have to squeeze your hand in a little more to open the hood.

[FormulaNERD]

a quick little photoshop....

friggen sweet thats what i'd like. but it seems like you kinda cut the headlights

[FormulaNERD]

headlights are just tucked under the hood, the "cut" was just me adding shadow to where the hood meets.

for those that like the sleepy look...not my cup of tea.

[-Alero-]

reminds me of the cutlass

[FormulaNERD]

here you go, a little less agressive, and you dont have to modify the fenders, and your headlights will still come out :)

[polarexpress17]

my post deleted itself!

anyways, nice hood



There was no additional text. It was just a quote of vtolds post and pic with out the quote tags. ;) ~grouch


yes but i took his pic and removed the curve that went over the part between the headlights :P

[Silentalero]

hmm this isnt a bad idea, i kinda like it.....


ok ok, if crazytaxi will donate a fiberglass cowl hood i shall add on the pieces and take pics, lol ....once i get bondo and sandpaper that is :alcoholic:

[FormulaNERD]

lmao... good luck with that one :)

[-Alero-]

yeah, im sure this will be on my to buy list, but im not too sure the hood would look to good with all stock body components. a bodykit would accent very well with this hood.

[Silentalero]

now realisticly i could make one of these within a day or 2 because its very small molding involved, problem being is we dont have pure fiberglass stock replacement hoods, and my hood from crazitaxi is gonna be true c/f

[-Alero-]

use the stock hood, and add metal too it. mold sand paint done

[kwhauck]

i have an oem style carbon fiber hood i could sell you........

holly crap! not aw! where did yo uget that! i was wanting one of thsoe months ago when i had the money.

you couldnt turn that carbon fiber hood into the boser could you?

[FormulaNERD]

no, he couldnt. and i dont think anyone could.... the carbon fiber process is completely different than that of any other type of material, and i dont think you'd have much luck attaching anything to it. but hey, im no expert.

and alero is right... the majority of boser hoods are metal extensions welded onto a stock hood, then smoothed and filled.

sweet, i can finally add to my posts without the stupid edited line. nice feature niach.

it is one of the old ones that were first made for the aleros, 1 of 3 or 4 i think, anyways, yeah it flew off my car, i claimed insurance on it, but it is still good, i just need to do a little bit of fiberglass work, sand, paint and voila, lightweight cf hood, seriously though, this hood is for anybody that really wants to drop weight, it is a single carbon fiber sheet, no underbracing, if installed correctly it won't rattle or move at all but the damn thing weighs like 5 lbs..........if either of you are really interested pm me and we can talk..........***BTW - i'll let it go pretty cheap by the way as i need cash for my turbo project***

[DRA-GON]

It looks good , but it makes the alero look very mad :angry:

poop everyone here is too lazy. give it a few years and maybe someone would think abotu a group buy.

[Oldsman]

[FormulaNERD]

i think it looks alot better than the non functional cowl hood... but then again it "looks better in person" and i havent seen it in person
