I'm not sure of the offset then.. And yes MP99 I've been looking at other Aleros with cleared corners and it does look nice. I'm just worried I wouldn't be able to put everything back together lol

Haha thanks for the advice that would not be good.
I got a question for everyone. I'm going ot be in a show on the 29th and I want to do something to my car that will look impressive but not break the bank. I'm thinking a new exhaust or engine dress up? I got a budget of about 500 so what would be the 1st thing I should upgrade?

Got Eibach, I could do headers, thanks. Is there any HP gain from new headers?

Get some paint for the engine, thats only a few $$ then do some intake and exhaust type stuff, itl make it sound good and look good, for a reasonable price too :thumb:
There is HP gain in any kind of engine upgrade.

yeah man do some small stuff, but intake and exaust is worth it I got may custom cat back on my car for about $475 CAD I don't know how much one would be worth at any of your local shops but it never hurts to call around and get quotes.

I was quoted about $250-300 (USD) @ Midas, They installed my header and did a really good job. You could easily fab a cold air intake for little of no money, the most expensive part would probably be the filter.

most expensive part of my cat back was the muffler.
