you should have showed a pic of your old alero when it was found...lol, it would have made the choice simple.

I say,

body kit , z3 fenders and coilovers on the new one
and every thing else leave as is.

just my 2cents

1. the z3 fenders were ok, but i'm going for an oldskool look now
2. i WILL NEVER EVER ROCK A BODYKIT AGAIN, to be brutally honest it just isn't practical for everyday driving, and i love to drive a alot!!!!
3. coilovers- they suck ass.......period....

its def. a hard vote. i LOVED ur old one, the color and rims/stance was awesome. but this one looks good too. i just like a bodykitted alero, it looks good imo. the color of new one is original so i voted hte new one. and yeah, coil overs suck. lol but body kits arent bad, just dont get an extreme one. i had razzi on stock suspension and never had an issue. my monte came stock with a body kit and its not a problem

since they are totally different styles tough choice. i like em both though. although on the new one i wouldve stuck with alero mirrors rather than GAGT's and lowered it a bit more, especially with stock bumper covers and everything. nor do i like the headlights. but the overall style i do like, and suprisingly like the wheels,(i hate black/gunmetal) as it matches the paint scheme a bit.

I voted for the old one mainly because I just don't agree with black rims, even though they match. If they were chrome, it would dramatically change the look of the car.

And the fact those fenders went to my car. ;)

I prefer the new one. Hopefully you have the goods under the hood to back up the looks and W-30 badge.;)

not yet.......i'm working on it though, that is my next project, well actually, it was my first project before paint, but i got hit and run so insurance paid for most of the paint job...........

anyways, i have the headers, crossover, etc,......basically all the piping but i have to piece together all the other stuff (turbo, bov, etc...) i'm gonna do it right though and probably start with a tranny swap and engine build first, i plan on pushing major power.......

I dunno I think your new one is a bit more of a eye grabber, especially because of the paint job.

im not feeling the new look. throw some oldskool rims on there. and not replicas. get some adapters and make it work. if you're gonna go oldschool, go oldschool or go home. those wheels look like you pulled them off of a 2002 mustang.

also you should have went razzi or something. the car just doenst look right. and it also looks too high, i'm not saying you should sacrifice for coilovers. but you need to do something, maybe you have sprint springs, but it doesnt look like it, and if that's the case, you need them.

new one all the way, its still got flash and style but is much more subtle than the old one without the kit on it.

I took the old one, just because that body kit is now on my car...lol. I guess I'm not a fan of stock bumpers ever since I changed my own.

those wheels on the new alero look like black cragers much like the 80's porches wore. I like. They are a little small looking (in the photo) due to the lip look (i know how that goes) but yeah i like the new one. The four door street racer look is not my opinion of sweet. nice job though on both.

you know what would be sick? if you could color match the rims to the car. that would definitely scream oldschool

Voted the New One because your first looks like every riced out car out there with the big ole many spoke rims and z3 fenders and body kit. The new was MUCH more originial/ unique.

Very tough decision... but I like the old one. That blue just grabs me! But, both are very well done.
