Maybe, but I didn't see Alero listed on there 
If you're thinking about moving beyond just tint try to contact Anderbra, he is a custom light god 
His work might not be cheap, but you can bet your life it will be top quality

Thanks for the info, I'll prolly just keep the stockers tinted - I'm not a fan of the euro look... especially on a GM  He'll tint whatever you wanna send him, already contacted him for a qoute. |

...if you feel like waiting 4 years for a finished product...
You probably won't see me, even if you look. There isn't much different about my car from all the others (besides the Aleromod.com stickers on the base of the front windows) At night you might see it lit up as i'm driving around, but even that is doubtful... I'm a stock ninja.  |

Welcome!!!
To answer your second follow up question. Yes you can get the AGX adjustable struts for our cars. I have heard they are very nice. Personally if you are going to spend the money on AGXs and a set of decent springs, like eibachs, you might as well spend a couple hundred extra and get a custom set of coilovers.
The 3400 is a great motor and for what it will cost you to swap in a 3800 you can have a pretty beastly 3400.
Again, Welcome to the SITE!!!!!
DON'T CLEAR YOUR CORNERS!!!

Howdy howdy and welcome. I'm afraid I won't be much help to you as everything you want to currently do are things I am getting ready to learn about and do myself.
Oldsnut, you're bug signature freaked the hell outta me. Was staring for a few seconds wondering if it really was on there...

Corners are getting cleared before it goes on the road, along with black headlight bezels. I tinted the tail lights with VHT to my liking, and I'm going to be calling some body shops to see how much it will cost me to have them clear them and shine them up, I am not very good at wet-sanding or buffing. I figure a few coats of clear and a shine shouldn't cost too much.
I just order some amber LEDs for the turn signals for when I clear the corners, and ordered a CAI that I'm hoping will work well: http://www.energyspeed.com/servlet/t...ake-Kit/Detail

to address your 3800 swap and/or turbo questions....
a 3400 can be built N/A to make as much power as a L67 (stock) swap.
I have turbo'ed my 3400, but it's home-built, not a kit......and I'll put it up against even a moderately built L67 without a second thought. I also successfully swapped a 4T65
Got questions? let me know.

thanks for the info, I'm not going with custom tails because I don't like the look, thanks for the heads up on the guy tho.
I'm prolly not going to 3800 swap it, I'd love to, but I think I decided to go more for looks instead of speed. I'm not into body kits or lambo doors so we'll see how far I can get on looks lol.
I just got done clearing the corners, and painting the headlights black. I also installed a red LED in the high and low beams on each light, it looks sick lit up with just the LEDs! I kind of wish I would have put on in the parking light area to tho..
