Mods I've done
Hey guys, this is my ride..its a 2003 GLS 3.4 SFI V6
I did a few mods to my alero since i got it..
First i smoked out my tails:
Then I added a 3" cold air intake, by Chrome intakes:
(it didn't come with the other piece of tubing that connects to the throttle body, I still want to get it though..possibly even make it myself)
The cone filter was enormous, I had to take apart the inner tire well cover to install it:
Last week I finally bought some rims, they came with the tires on them, but I need to replace 2 because the edges are worn from fast cornering..I paid 300 and the rims are worth 1500 alone..Although, I'm not sure of the brand? if someone knows, let me know please lol
I also painted some of the interior trim a glossy black (before and after):
My next mods are:
front/rear strut bars (bought, currently being shipped)
tinted windows
cat back exhaust, possibly going to get the pacesetter setup
indigo cluster
haha I know there's lots of pics, but I hope you guys like them  |

off to a good start.
Don't worry about lowering it. The tires are 1 1/2" below the coils, the coil spring perch won't get any lower with shorter springs. Go for it.

Don't get the pacesetter. It does sound good, but really you can just buy a summit turbo style muffler and have a shop install a custom kit for less, and have the exact same sound. Plus the pacesetter has some mounting issues for me (the over the axle pipe tends to rub against a heat shield if you don't put something between them to absorb the vibrations).

funny how no one said anything before with my stock 16" wheels "it needed a drop" but seeing as how i have nice chrome 17's its a different story when there is less of a gap..ah well i like it the way it is, i come very close to scraping my front bumper on most driveways, etc.. and im not in any way trying to make my GM car look like a ricer |

its because of the aftermarket wheels. if its stock, we know what stock looks like.
no-one says lower a stock car. its when you start changing the appearance, that it becomes very noticeable. that's why you keep hearing it. |
