Trying to figure out what would look better
 
I would like to do my dash differently.. but im not sure what would look better. Go Brushed Aluminum look.. or the Carbon fiber look like outta the OSV. either or... It'd be like the parts around what a Dash kit would do... but what would look better on the Dark Blue Alero with the Two tone Grey/Black Interior.


oh yea..with either or.. i would like to some how do the 4 spokes on the wheel like a brushed aluminum look.. any way how ?

You'd need to replace the wheel.

01OldsAleroGt 08-25-2008 10:05 PM

don't wanna replace the wheel.. don't wanna remove the airbag

If you do it, Record it on videotape incase it blows.

01OldsAleroGt 08-25-2008 10:10 PM

well... i see these at Customgrandam.com... but i know the wheels differ big time.

Does not happen. You can beat the crap out of the airbag and it's not going to deploy. Unless you put at least 9 volts to the connector, heheh. The airbag doesn't deploy unless the crash sensor indicates there's been a g-force difference equal to a crash 14 MPH to 0.

I love reading things on other forums where they're talking about plugging the airbag squib back in and they're like "make sure you disconnect the battery before you do that!" like plugging it in is going to randomly tell the inflator to ignite.

Also, I'd make sure those stick on posts were on well. Airbag deploying over/onto them probably won't end well. Either cutting the bag or introducing 80MPH projectiles.

fiberglass replacement skins and have it airbrushed

Negative on the carbon fiber look :thumbsdown:

Go with real carbon fiber:



[ion] C2 08-27-2008 04:50 PM

WTF DID YOU GET THAT

Or are those just those "stick-on" ones they sell..

Marrko 08-27-2008 04:52 PM

where did you get all those pieces with real carbonfiber, you made them yourself or took them from the osv alero? i know redog has them from the osv and you?

Spilner521 08-27-2008 04:52 PM

They're stick on but they're real carbon fiber. I wish they were all actual pieces made out of carbon fiber...

Marrko 08-27-2008 04:56 PM

now these stick on look good, not as those realy crapy fake ones... it looks good, where did you get it?

[ion] C2 08-27-2008 04:57 PM

The OSV ones are fake carbon fiber. Not even close to looking real.

How the heck do the stick ons work around the rounded parts of the console and such? Or on the door trim? Or anything? It seems like you'd clearly see the edge/seam and it could peel off easily.
