The 3m is like what 03sleeper has on his tail lights but its like a rubber tint
that can be applied and removed as many times as you like. iv used it before on other cars its very cheap but reliable.

Damn Son, Nice find! Welcome to the site. Have you cleared your corners yet? haha youll get alot of crap aboutthat if you havent. (i havent and ive been on here for i think 2 years)

what exactly is black 3m tail lights? link?

03Sleepr · 05-05-2011, 12:25 AM

wow..sounds great, rims and a drop would be on my list ASAP..

BoarderTy · 05-05-2011, 12:35 AM

OSV kits are alot of work tho. theres alot you gotta do to make em fit.
...so ive heard anyway.

i cant wait til Kwhauck chimes in i like watching him play salesman.

Ttop191 · 05-05-2011, 08:51 AM

it's not that ridiculous to raise the car back to stock, I know quite a few people here that do it on their wrx's just keep two sets of struts and springs...its literally 5 bolts per corner after you take the wheels off...Big deal!

robalero · 05-05-2011, 03:27 PM

ive been debating it myself living in one of the worst areas in canada for winters but im prob not gonna do it

scotty11811 · 05-05-2011, 06:28 PM

Here in Edmonton we get swamped with endless snow and we have the worst pot holes in Canada cause we go from extreme hot to extreme cold and vice versa.

robalero · 05-05-2011, 06:57 PM

lol scott we all say each one of our towns has the worst potholes in canada lets just face it, the government that we pay our taxes on gas too ( which makes up most of the price of how high it is ) isn't going back to the roads like it is supose to

OK How much "endless snow" are we talking here? I have no doubt that you get much more snow up there than we do here in Philly, even with the past 2 winters we had here.

My point, I have Eibachs, and very good all season tires, very good as in $700 a set and I had NO PROBLEMS getting stuck in the snow. Our biggest storm was 30 inches, and I didn't get stuck. The plow truck at my apartment plowed in my car. I didn't shovel out the snow in front of the car and I pulled right out after the 4th straight away (had to back up 3 times and push thru a little bit more each time, my neighbor with the Land Rover thought I was

at first then after the 4th time he was like

that my lowered 2 door coupe pulled out and then he looked at his Rover stucj in the snow and was like

but it's cool cause I was

at him and his $70,000 truck stuck in the snow.)

I did get stuck once this past winter only becasue the tires where soooooooooooooooooooo good, as soon as I spun, the car dug a rut and when straight down

but it was nothing a little bit of kitty litter couldn't handle

Bottom line an Alero lowered 1.25 inches does fine in 30 inches of snow
