2000 2dr...with much to come...
I have been cruising around the forums for a while now and i have posted a few times and that and sadly to say i havent had much time to do anything much to the car except for a few interior lights, WAI, (soon to be CAI), and normal maintenence. Most recent is a wash, wax, and a brake change.
2000 2 door Alero 2.4L with 145,000mi. and LOTS OF POTENTIAL! 
Thank you Armor All!
and also...
Could someone please photoshop those rims onto my car? Thanks Guys!! i appreciate it.

Tint tails, tint windows, those rims look similar to mine so you can get an idea, clear corners and paint bezels, also is your hood paint peeling or am i going crazy? I'm not trying to troll, but check out some of the zaino products, they are amazing!

I find it hard to believe that your car is boosted.

to tint the tails get some VHT nightshade, take out your tail lights, clean them thoroughly, then spray on the nightshade, allowing a couple minutes to dry between coats, until it's as dark as you like. avoid water, car washes, and dirt roads for about a day afterwards as the coating cures.

Another option is you could sand off all the clear, wet sand the top coat of paint, then re clear the hood, and wet sand that when it dries, and probably do a quick pass with a buffer to make it nice and shiny.
