(kindof)New Member From Indiana
 

Hi all, My name's Trenton and I'm from a small town none of you have probably heard of(The Beef House is normally what the town is identified with, its a restaurant with the best rolls on the planet, not my words, literally everyone who eats there comments on the rolls. And if you go to any birthday party in the area, the rolls will find there way there and will immediately be swiped like an injured animal on the Savannah. It gets kind of annoying) on the west side of Indiana.

I am a high school senior and am trying to save up for college (Rose-Hulman if any of you have heard of it)so i don't have much money, and on top of that i only know basics about car mechanics so im very cautious about major mods. the only thing i have done so far is put new speakers in the the back (just because the stock ones were dead when i got it) they are sony xplodes 6x4, i know they are not the best but i am happy about them


Now about my Alero, its a 2001 GLS 3400 V6 with 85,3xx Miles on it, and it has all of the features except for the sunroof :( . I got if for Christmas last year( I picked it out) Her name is Ninja, i dont exactly know why i just said "go Ninja" once and it stuck. Here are some pictures of her.

did you really just spend a third of your intro talking about rolls??? :huh:


i'd expect that from nate... but geeze.


welcome... you'll fit right in w/ the nut cases here. And are you sure the speakers in the back aren't 6x9?

i know, but if you lived around here most of conversations eventually end up going to rolls... like i said small town...

ALL HAIL THE KING

i am also in Spanish IV ;)

welcome!!!

lol good one, but that would actually be a señor. I don't really know what a senor is lol.

Anyways welcome Fuzzyspudkiss. You should find a lot of helpful info here.

Thanks for the welcome guys :)

I fixed the senior thing, it was especially funny because i looked down at my shirt and it says SENIOR in large font on the front...:whistle:

Welcome Trenton.

welcome to the family

welcome

Welcome aboard! Love the 2nd pic.

hello and welcome

Hey man.. gd choice on the car!

I was almost expecting a pic of the rolls... ;)

welcome to the site

Welcome and Happy modding and roll eating..

welcome, nice clean car.

Welcome to the site!

Welcome to the site...i also love the 2nd pic of your car.

welcome! I love those rims! take good care of the car and It'll take care of you. They're safe and pretty reliable cars. Yeah, they have regular problems but with the low(er) miles on yours, you have plenty of time to care for it so you don't encounter those problems down the road.

Transmissions hate you :p

Thanks for the great welcome guys:coolio: . I really liked the second picture too.

I would like to tint the windows, I think that black tint with the silver car would look really cool...but my dad is worried about me being pulled over more because of them...and it is technically his car...I've almost got him convinced to let me get them though, i mean if i'm not doing anything illegal why should i be worried.;)

Looks like you put some grill-mesh in front of your foglights too? Looks good! And... welcome!

Yeah they are 6x9s it was a typo :( ...a little bit of a late response to that question...


I put the grill mesh on about 2 months ago, it seemed like a cheap mod that would add a different look to my appearance. (at least around here, there are only 3 or 4 aleros in my area)

Welcome! Nice to have another Hoosier on here. :) I'm south-west Indiana.

why should you be worried? because i've never done anything illegal in my alero (except for the night where i got breathalyzed.. but that was long afterwards) and i got nailed for tinting.

get your state legal limit, and don't worry about it. you can and WILL get a ticket for illegal tinting.

i would definitely not exceed the legal limit, i think its 35% in Indiana. I wouldn't do it myself (ive heard too many horror stories and i dont really trust myself to do it), so i would hope that the business that i choose to take it too would know the limit...but i would look up the laws in Indiana before i take it to get tinted.

silver w/tint



and another. Forgive the shrubbery, this was right after we had a hurricane come through PHX

thanks for the pictures HazMatt, I tried to photoshop tinted windows on my car but a real example really helps.

Do you happen to know what percent tint it is?

it's whatever is legal here in AZ, I think 33%
