as much as i don't like that wing.. it does flow with the kit. There are still alot better options. Like stock.. or razzi, though.

No that's the usual wing all the local ricers put on... I've seen them on Neons, Mustangs, Civics, you name it. Every primered multi-colored, dented, rusted out piece of shit has that wing 3M taped to their trunk.
Don't fall into that crowd.

You're gonna hate it and I don't care. I only got the spoiler on today because I had to re-drill holes and such and find the right screws, etc, etc. So I'll put the skirts on along with the underglow when I'm down at college.
I'll get pictures up when I'm settled in and have time. I'm moving in tomorrow and then I have training for my RA position for like 10 hours a day for the next 2 weeks, so it might be a bit.
But anyway...damn you Ion. :P
Btw...I did have the stock spoiler on there.

please play nice, I am not a fan of big wings either (just like 97% of the site) and probably will think it doesn't look nice but i am curious, how did you take care of the old holes?

Yep, we're all going to hate it. Stock wheels, stock engine, body kit, underglow lights, and a huge wing... and not just any wing, but the most common one found on shitpile econoboxes.

...BUT...
hes still rather new (our taste in appearances has all changed at some point) and hes getting work done. So hes starting with a kit? After that, body wise, there isn't much to do. So if he is still going to mod, he'll either go interior, or engine. Get off his back. Just because he didn't do it in the order you wanted, doesn't mean its wrong.
The point is to be different/unique/custom. Its not yours, so stop complaining.
Psy has been a decent member since he joined, earlier this year. Give him some time. Cripes, I've been here for 5 years, still have a stock engine and stock tires.

Sorry about the F bomb btw. And I used the Permatex black silicon sealant to fill the old spoiler holes (do I sound THAT stupid?). I also did it on the base of the wing since there's a hole for the wire for the LED strip on the wing...figured I'd probably get water under there somehow, so I did both bases of the wing to make it look even.
And like I said, I'm going for a showcar rather than a performance car, and I can't afford rims at the moment and am probably not gonna drop it due to the areas in which I drive (I'm currently back in Rolla, Missouri for school which doesn't have the best driveways/sideroads for lower cars...I've already scraped once at the height I'm at).
I've already redone the interior lighting (almost done). And all that's left is the side skirts, underglow, and maybe a couple of other things.
Don't hate because I didn't drop 5k into turboing, which I don't think is the greatest idea for the Alero anyway because it's a front wheel drive car. Ion, I realize that you're a huge performance guy, and I respect that...hell I think your Alero is pretty awesome, but that's not the route I'm going (notice the siggy).
If anything performance ever happens, I'll supercharge it, get new heads, larger exhaust pipe with a higher flow cat, and bore out the engine and get new pistons when the engine starts to crap on me.
Like I said...IF anything performance happens with it...and chances are it won't. I'll spend that 5k+ turbo money on something like a 94/95 Supra.
And Caboose, it's that wing except not as high. That wing is too ricery for me.
Btw, soopid and cherri, thanks for backing me up.
