Small mods

[the_weber]

Need some mods for under $20 a pop I can do right now. Just found out I can count my alero as a show vehicle for my business so all mods are write offs.

paint headlights... tint tail lights... change the gauge bulb color... thats really all you can do for 20 dollars.. lol

lol.well then..Looks Like Im have to start doing my expensive mods. Anyone do a carbon fiber hood?

[sleepyalero]

search around on google. there was one that made em awhile back but got discontinued.. i dont think they have carbon fiber ones at all... but i wouldnt suggest carbon fiber either. they are very hard to maintain... sun fades them really easily.. so if you can i would just get a regular cowl hood..

especially if your car is a daily driver and doesnt sit in a garage i would not suggest carbon fiber. or in the winter.

I wasnt going to get one just see how they look. There pretty much rice. So i was thinking just the vinyl wrap.

[sleepyalero]

you could, ive seen a bmw with the whole roof covered in the carbon wrap

Very hard to maintain? NOOOOO!!!! If they are painted right with a good clearcoat they won't yellow or fade.

And actually there have been two CF hoods made for the alero, the cowl hood, and there were also several OEM style hoods made WAYYYY back...

I've owned both, and two different CF cowl hoods......lol
