alero hids, and other stuff
hey guys, i'm very excited about this, finally some mods done to the alero
first, interior lights in the foot wells in the front and back, looks very nice. thanks to cherrington for the help and many write ups in that. i had to do it twice since the first time i went lazy man. much happier the second time round, and learned a good lesson.
and secondly, I ORDERED MY HIDS!!!! 
very excited
i got them from ddm tuning (from what i've read on here from you guys, reputable company, and make good kits)
i ordered 6000k 9006 for the low beams, and 5000k 9005 for the highs. total will be $130 shipped. it's a birthday present from people i know.
opinions on hids chosen would be much appreciated. i still have to wait for the paypal to clear, so it's not too late.
and i'm in the motor mount group buy, the ho is going to slowly start getting nicer

damn roads are mean on cars there lol...I would take the neon lights out tho... just my opinion. Keep up the good work maintenance and performance. Btw brake cleaner cans are cheap and would clean that mess in the tranny quick.

no, not trying to say it's lower, to me it already looks a little lower than other aleros, i know i have the sport suspension, so i thought maybe the sport suspension was lower than the touring one
and i'm also rather sad on the bumper, which is kinda the reason i want to get the aas kit.

If am not mistaken, sport suspension is solid sway bar on the front for better handling... if anything our ecos look higher for being lighter. I (ME lol) wouldnt do a body kit, especially if I live in that type of terrain.

lol, good idea, and it's either a body kit, or lowering springs with adjustable struts, i'm leaning towards lowering.

ya, i'm working on getting those lights off, now i have a check engine light too.
and its official.... HIDS ORDERED!!!
i ordered the cheaper raptor set, i didn't need the thin ballast ones. $30 for the lows, and $40 for the highs, with lifetime warranty. and i'm hoping people don't order these ones as much, and i'll get them sooner
