Next Mod/next Check
Soooo The next OFFICIAL mod, (besides all my workbench 1/2 done trying new crap idea mods) Is a Grand am gt front end swap!!! I'm going to start out stock with just gt bumper, fenders, hood, and headlights and work my way up to after market hood, fenders, and lights. Then at some point I will add a bodykit. Snag a ga bumper and alero the rest of the kit. Let me know if anyone wants a how-to. <- Mainly newbs due to the fact that this will all bolt up like a breeze of fresh air. If that even made sense

And easy there colonel6632 I so happen to have that un-liked gt interior in my pretty little alero

I was going to get the sc/t lip but the price made me choose not to do to the fact that the front end will remain stock for about 1 month as I build after market parts on it. And plan on the aas combat kit for ga and alero so it all flows together nicely

ahhh I cant do after market parts, they seem to NEVER fit like oe. Only nice thing is that my body shop has an account for certifit, so discount price. Came to 278.25 which isn't bad w/o headlights. But non oe is like walking into the forest at night for me.

I was sceptical on the same issue yet the parts fit perfect when I personally installed them on the Alero. I even purchased some twin post mirrors for my alero and they fit fine. They seem good quality so I guess Im just lucky.

maybe I'll buy a hood/ fender from them see how they line up together. Most likely keep the bumper oe for sure tho. Thanks for the site. When do you plan on your swap?
And if you dont mind me asking...
Fiberglass doors!!!!
