What To Do For My Alero?

[Nate's Alero]

Well Im Getting An 2000 Alero With (Currently 34,874 Miles, Grandfather Drives It
But Once A Week) In About 4 Months, Wondering What I Should Do (Besides A New Paint Job Frostbite 545 Or Whatever inspired Me To Do A Dark Ass Blue New Paint Job To Mine Too (Partly Because My Grandfather Has Hit The Garage Too Many Times And He Has Missed A LOT With The Key For The Door (Hates The Remote) And It Just Is Sunbeaten And Faded. So I Was Wondering What Else I Could Do For The Car To Make It A Head Turner (And Any Other Color Suggestions) And A Nice Ass Car (Budget Is Like $995 A Month)


I Dont Really Want To Race, Mom Would Kill Me And Take My Car(Trust Me She Wants That Car Too) Would Like To Cruise And Just Be A Head Turner But With The Power To Stomp And (Yes I Kinda Do Wanna Race At The Track)Crush My Opponents.

Also Any Good Radar Detectors That Work Out There?

depends on what you want to do, show or go?

im suprised noone else has said it yet...clear ur corners.

[Vinalero]

Start by giving your "shift" button a break.

then after, clear your corners. take the emblems out on the trunk, tint windows, glow gauge, muffler, drop springs. These are the first things that would come to my mind.

One Problem? Arent The Gauges Always That Puke Green Color With White Halogen Lights Behind It?



Sorry, Tinted??

It takes time, you're not going to build the car up that fast like in the GT games ;)

Took me 8 years to build up mine, and it's still not done. There will always be that one more thing to do ;)

[adam337]

you can buy gauge overlays on ebay for about 15$.. and Window tint is the stuff that makes your windows darker..

Speedhut http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/3/web/435000-435999/435315_68_full.jpg

For a pretty good price they can pretty much do any color, EL-glo or Reverse Glo, and they can put your own logo or design on them.

How Hard To Install?

[cherrington17]

pretty basic. depends on your skill level. (w/ no exp even basic stuff seems tedious)

me and yalero have taken it to the next level and done our own custom led gauges. I started just by backlighting mine and he figured out how to do the needles. It WILL save you alot of money, but, it takes alot of time and skill w/ a soldering gun/leds.
