I just thought I would chime in on this a bit... you are worried about modding your car at this point with how many miles are on it etc... here is my statement to that comment...

this car was purchased for sole purpose of being a winter beater... it looked worse than swiss cheese when I got it, bondo'd the heck out of it, and it has lasted me well over 2 years now... as you can see, there is plenty of visible rust poking through, and the subframe is getting worse by the day... but, I have done a full grand am interior swap,

put a warm air intake on it, and painted the idi cover as well as a front strut tower bar...

just because the mileage is creeping up, does not mean you cannot invest in the car to have some fun... worst case scenario, you do what I have done... as this one nears the end, rather than look at the parts as a wasted investment, just buy another one to swap the parts to!!!

btw, this is my third alero... here is my baby that is for summer only!!
