Oh don't get me wrong dood, I won't be in any ad's myself, Have u ever seen an AAS ad? they have like at least 6 cars on a page, so its not gonna be a full page mag advertisement or anything. But it's still gonna be a sweet site!!

Ski, you gotta put a big ass aleromod.com banner on your windshield for the pic. This way, when it gets published, we'll get some traffic! PM me, and lets work something out.

I already have the aleromod banner on teh rear window of my car, But they put the front end shots in the mag's. But i would be willing to put a aleromod banner on the front if someone "donates" it. I don't wanna sound like a piker or anything, But i'm gettin laid off tomorrow and have to start countin pennies.
Btw heres a list of the mags that they advertise in, SO these are the potential mags that my car will be in.

can understand how you feel a bit, I lost all my overtime at the shop and they're cutting hours to about38 to 39 a week :eek:. So, I'm with you on the penny pinching.

Travis99Alero
01-27-2004, 01:45 PM
the kit looks good, especially sinced they fixed the rear of it. the only things i dont like are the holes at the top of the front, and the spot for a front license plate. other than that, it looks :pimp:

Final-Reality

For some reason the kit not on the car looks better than the promo pictures they had, but I'll still reserve judgement until I see it on your car, but so far it's encouraging ski :thumbsup:

loudalero
01-27-2004, 10:57 PM
I am excited to see how this turns out on your car and you got to let us know on how the fitment is but stop reading this and finish putting this on.

Skiboarder311
01-28-2004, 01:02 AM
Yah know i have been sayin the whole time that i'm gonna shave teh top holes, But now that i see it in person, i'm keepin them.

See thats what i hate about pictures, they give u no concept for the lines and curves of something. You guys really need to see this thing in person to fully appreciate it. I have been lookin at it all day, as as for right now, i think its perfect!!! Trust me, when u guys see this in person u'll see what i mean.

Now back to business

I spent all night with a case of smirnoff triple black in the garage sandin this bioch, so thats one step closer.

Tomorrow i plan to start puttin it on. But its gonna take a lil longer than expected, cuz i didn't know i was gonna have to drill my own mounting holes, so thats gonna take a while.

I could use some help though. Ok peeps, who has ever put on a "real" body kit b4?? do u think i'm gonna have to lose anything under the front and rear, or will this thing just bolt right on? I'm pretty good at figuring things out, but i have never put on a "real" bodykit b4 and i could use some pointers.

thanx guys

Silentalero
01-28-2004, 01:27 AM
most you migth lose is some plastic guards, nothing major

loudalero
01-28-2004, 02:00 AM
Yeah most you will lose is some plastic and maybe your fogs but who nows on that but hopefully you can use the stock fogs but is there a little indentations on the fiberglass if so then just drill those bad boys out and and get this thing on and I dont see why you wont be able to use all the stock mounting hardware but every kit is different but good luck and hurry up. I want to see pics tomorrow when i get home from work. :thumbsup: But I am sure that it will look good.

01-28-2004, 07:23 AM
i asked andy about that before and he said the only thing you'll lose is the plastic, he said the stock fogs will work...hope he's right

Skiboarder311
01-28-2004, 09:24 AM
even if the stock fogs will work, i don't think i'm gonna use them, i want to get some of those angel eyes fogs :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I'm gonna try to get at least the front end on today, But all my buddies are busy and this job would be much easier with a helper.


anyone around the pittsburgh area not busy tonight wanna help me put my bodykit on and help me tackle a case of Corona :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

sound_xtreme
01-28-2004, 02:49 PM
almost every body kit i have put on a car and every kit i have seen put on a car you had to drill the holes. this leaves room for minor mold(from the factory or aftermarket) errors and they can be corrected by slightly moving the hole.

DansGen1Alero
01-28-2004, 07:01 PM
I broke down and ordered one, The wifey let me, Should have it in two weeks. I had just ordered it right before the sale was over. I will post some pics as well if no one minds. can't wait to see yours dude.

boarder211
01-28-2004, 08:31 PM
Damn! I wish I actually had some $... :( Oh well! Hope that you get it on soon, and I'm looking forward to the pics!

AlbinoMonkeyRat
01-28-2004, 09:17 PM
you got to show us your test fitting too! That might help Andy's to motivate some of us Alero guys to buy one of their kits. (advertise...;))

Skiboarder311
01-29-2004, 12:45 AM
Front is on baby!!!!

and OMG it loox flockin SIKK!!!!!!!!! I got a hard on just lookin at it unpainted!!

But i forgot my digicam, so u guys will have to wait until tomorrow to see the test fit pics.

I am very happy so far, there are almost no fittment issues with the front, and i didn't have to remove anything. which was sweet, and the stock foglights sit just right in the corners, so not only can u keep the stock fogs, they actually look good!!

I'm, gettin up tomorrow mornin to put the back and sides on, and i will make sure the camera is there.

But take my word for it people, this thing loox SIKKK and i have to give a Big up to Eric at andy's. I am horored to be the first one with this kit. cuz i LOVE IT

how is the fitment arounf the headlights?

does the thing need to be pie cut because of humping up in the middle of the headlight?

Skiboarder311
01-29-2004, 10:32 AM
Nope, fittment around the headlights is pretty good.

theres a lil bit of gap in the center, but i can live with it

U'll see what i mean when i get the pics later. But no it doesn't "hump up in the middle

Hah I was thinking the same thing :P

Also, looks pretty good ski, for some reason the front as a whole looks a lot "rounder"? than stock? I'm not really sure how to describe it... it's not as aggressive looking on the car as it appears when I first saw the pics of just the bumper, thats a good thing I think, I like it ski, nice work :thumbsup:

I agree with you about the shape of the kit. The original version they posted had a nose that stuck out too far, and it didn't flow with the body too well... but the final version looks much cleaner.

If I ever got it, I think I would still need to fill in all the holes in the front though... but overall it looks very nice IMO.
