led floor lamps? you mean general floor lighting? the easiest way is to mount the leds right into the plastic covers above the foot area. (there are 2 per side)
OR...
www.oznium.com has flat ribbon leds, that you could mount under there.

I want to see a VIP Alero really bad. Now that'd be sport lux.
Poke out the bead and stretch the tires, paint it black, slap on an OSV or AED kit and bag it. Mmmm.

^ Just curious, why would you want to stretch the tire instead of just getting a wider, lower profile tire?

Gives an angled sidewall, to clear the fenders and still allow it to poke out the side slightly.
This one's a bit ridiculous, but you know

I know the aleros 5 lug and the set I orderd is just that, why it 6 in the pic is beyound me...
Clutch, since the alero isnt he traditional platfrm it couldnt be vip, it would be vip inspired and thats the look im going for without the insane stretch . I do have a stash for the cash some vip parts from JP............
the point of the tire stretch is to get the lip of the rim right on the fender lie........not my cup of tea, but a must for the true vip style.

Where did you get that shift knob from? I like it, especially with the boot.

That's an Ichibahn shift knob, I got the exact same one from ebay $7 shipped. I don't really like how it looks in my malibu, so I went back to my stock one.

if you wanna go real low airbags are the way to go. Taking coils out of any springs is just dumb and dangerous.

airbag looks bad. and that stretched tire looks retarded. what are people doing to cars these days? it's almost rude to the cars....
i like the rendering for sure. if you want the dash to look nice, do the whole thing. not just the airbag in the middle of it. it just looks out of place. i still like staying with the idea, "must appear stock"
that's just my style though. good luck with the mods

^I agree with the whole must look stock idea. Sometimes it gets to the point where things just look out of place.
