You can go ANYWHERE and get ANYTHING for it. Some honda owners even have the "nerve" to put down 600 horsepower. Although I understand that the honda civic is still in production and the Alero is not, the point that I was trying to itterate is that the reason that you can't find "cool guy parts" for the alero is that it hasn't yet been proven a "cool guy car". It's my oppinion that the body lines and limited production of this vehicle give it great potential to become a "rare" and sought after tuner car. Oh yeah, and it looks better than a honda too. Guess who that benefits? the guy that bought it to be an inexpensive, economic, family car.

Your a genious!!!!!!! That is the reason why my 17 yr old self has it!! it is a cool guy car and i enjoy driving around smoking those little civic!!! *HIGH FIVE*

We're still going through "The Loan Process", I assume that they'll finish everything 4-5 weeks after we all die of old age. I have a meeting with the "trigger puller" tomorrow morning, my investors are standing by waiting to give me all of their money to secure the loan, so If I get the green light tomorrow I should be in business within 2-3 weeks.

Thats when he gets the loan so he can reverse mold the kit. No sense in sending me an original piece incase something happens to it in shipping. Soon enough guys...We're coutning down the days till the kit is on the car.

The reason its coming here to test fit is so we can test fit it on Various years of alero since there are alot of members near the midwest with the 2 door and 4 doors of each year. This way if there are slight variances in the years fit wise we can address it before you get your bumper. This is where other companies in the past went wrong.
Sides and rear will be discussed once he gets his business loan to go full scale with production.

Scratch head on this comment. Never heard of variances in years.

^Ya. Everything's the same... What companies went wrong in the past and discovered there were fitment differences in each year of Alero?

the only problems with kits have been them making molds off of molds....so with this measurements began to change and loose the true angles and such.

not true, when i had my old kit it didnt fit my year, but a 99 it bolted right up (year the model was made after) and most people would never notice but there are slight changes year to year body wise.

Wrong, your kit must have been molded off another kit or poorly made. Sorry Marc nobody is buying that one. Next you'll be telling us side skirts are different year to year.

Um, Marc is right on this one man. The 99's had different side skirts that mounted up differently. I'm not sure if the change occured between 99 and 00 or 00 and 01, but my 01 and 01-04 have flared out side skirts, while 99's and maybe 00's have non-flared out side skirts.

Ok it looks like the change occured between 99 and 00 models.
To illustrate the difference.... take a look at the side skirts.
