I know, it's just.. it's fake. I don't like fake stuff. Lol.


is that kinda like putting a big aluminum wing on Alero...................LOL

got a part number? I like them they look good.

Oldsnut 05-30-2008 12:39 AM
GM Part # 22618759, 22618760

They list them as a Shield and were $10.64 each on 5-27-07.

Ion, wouldn't wrapping them weigh more than hydro immersion? I thought it was about weight savings to you. I had one side done and they are featherlight by the way.

It's about authenticity and not being a poser.

^Huh?

Oldsnut, that looks fantastic IMO. How much did it cost to get the parts hydro-dipped?

Trickyslick 05-30-2008 11:54 AM
I think those look sweet. Yeah curious about cost for parts and how much to have the dipped.

CBLOHM3400 05-30-2008 12:06 PM
looks great

I think it looks good Oldsnut. I vote for the Final 500 color of the car. It honestly has some color changing properties(with carying degrees of sunlight) and in sunlight looks spectacular far different from any other Gm paint I've ever seen. The only thing i hate about it is all women try to call it a purple car........

word. fake tits FTW. sorry for the OT comment. LOL

umm...the headlight covers are a good idea (for protecting the light assemblies), but fom the stories I've heard about them making extra noise...I'd pass. But yours look good.

Thanks Nick
$60, which is more than I wanted to pay but was an experiment and they are large pieces.

I love the Final 500 color but that would give me 3 cars with very similar colors, my Aurora is Bordeaux Red which is very close to the Alero. it is a big dilema for me, my wife hates really bright, standout in the crowd colors so that limits many colors that I would like to use.

I get people calling it purple all the time.

Oldsnut 05-30-2008 11:54 PM
Hey Ion, isn't your car the AOTM for best interior with a CF gauge bezel? Does that help with weight reduction or Speed?;)

Couldn't resist bro.

I like them, oldsnut ... looks good. :)

My '99 does not have those so they were either removed at some point or it didn't come with them.

Looks good IMO ;)

So something performance wise to your car? lmao for 60 bucks you could have added 10 horsepower and better gas usage with a CAI
