Tails

[sleepyalero]

did you make those?

[BAleroS]

My brother and I did.

[Shiwnath]

Awesome work! You should do a how to :D

[Hellfire5670]

those are so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! make me a pair? :D :D :D

[guiguilandry]

If you're willing to make a couple of them... you can definatelly make some profit...
they look awesome, do you have any closer pics ???

[BAleroS]

Yeah, I have some closer pictures. I can get those on soon, when I have time off from work.

[Goodman]

WOW!
Really nice but i don't know how it will looked on cars with different colors? (dark colors)

Best part of all i see this mod totally legal

[BAleroS]

Yes, they are totally legal, and the color of the tails can be any color. Very customizable for LED's and design.

[happyisthealero]

Wow! just wow!

[mmorello82]

Seriously! Need a how-to! That is badass!!

[kwhauck]

15 plates are Butte county. I live in Belle. You should swing by so I can look at them in person. Funny that I've never seen your alero.

[Mike The Canadian]

Hey man!
Those look amazing..

any tips or tricks on how you did that?
I've been looking to do something similar for the malibu for a long time..

[jawa]

this thread is useless without a how to.....

bad ass tails though

[sleepyalero]

make a how to, i want to do this with mine instead of having my stupid vht tinted tails. i beg you.....


i think it would be really sexy in black on my car....

[fisdad]

I am definitely a fan! I'd pay top dollar for a similar version.

This is why he prob wont post a "how to"....he can make some good money doing these for people:lol:

yes but would be nice if he shared with the community, it sucks because there isnt an option of nice tail lights for our cars, everyones usual option is tail light tint.

plus, that one guy who ripped everyone off made tail lights pretty much exactly like his, only in a black version though.

Yea....but dude....if i knew how to do this i would charge too (and prob not post a how to). Money is tight for most people, so anyway they can make a buck they will. Might be messed up to not share the info but its business! ;)

[sleepyalero]

yeah i hear ya, haha. im just sayin! :p

Yeah but that's a lame way of thinking. Had it not been many others sharing how they do the "cleared corners" mod and many other how to's, a lot of people wouldn't have their cars looking like they do now. A forum is a place where people come to discuss and learn not turn a profit. If you want to turn a profit then open up an online store and become a site sponsor...

Basically its like coming here, reading the threads, learning new things like mods that people have pioneered for our cars, applying what you learnt to your own car, but when you do a new and unique mod that has people interested you want to turn a profit? Just sounds grimy IMO. I duno maybe I've learnt so much here and have had a lot of help from so many of the members that I just couldn't turn a profit off of something new that I've done. Just my opinion, don't take it personal. Like I said it's a forum and we all have different views :)

yeah i also would agree. you and billy both have good points, everything ive done to my car ive told people how to do it if they ask. i dont mind. i love aleros/community. so i dont mind helping people change the look of there cars a bit.

Not really as not every one would want to do it them self & we are not leaving all in the same neighbor hood or country so every one could make a little bit of money in they own town

As for me if i were to do that i would do it only for my car & be the only one in my town to have that sweet looking tails lights :p

I am not crafty enough for this much detailed work, so I plan on painting a design on mine instead. I am going to do the paint in body color but I think I'm going to copy one of these designs.

or

Paint the brake light section thinner to mimic the lower reverse/turn section size. (Two narrow horizontal lines)

[BAleroS]

A -how to- would be ridiculously hard to write. It took several months to make these. I will take a look at it and see what I can come up with soon, I have a pretty full schedule.
Kwhauck, I live in Newell, I may have to swing by Belle sometime, I work in Sturgis.

[kwhauck]

Where do you work at in Sturgis? I was just there this morning and go to Rapid twice a week for work.

And once hunting starts in the fall, I go through Newell/Nisland area ALOT!

[BAleroS]

I'm working at Lynn's right now, till College starts then I'm down in Sioux Falls. Heading down there at the end of May.

[kwhauck]

Haha, I was at Lynn's this morning. You work tomorrow? If so, I will swing by in the Final 500 Bravada and check it out.

[BAleroS]

Nope, But I will be there Friday sometime if you have a time and a place I can meet up with you.

[BAleroS]

Also, anybody who is willing to purchase the tails all I need is people who are willing to send in there cores so there is something to work with.

im sorry but... blehh.... i would never do that option for mine.

everyone has there own taste.

how much are you charging?

[lonnie]

This is where that post limit would come in handy...does anybody know this guy, yet he is selling custom tails with only 19 post? (No offense)

[BAleroS]

None taken, I completly understand. I'm not sure about cost yet, supplies are pretty expensive per set, I can get a price out later today. PM me for more information.

[kwhauck]

I think the fact that I am an owner, and live really close to him, and that he is willing to meet up should count for something.

[fisdad]

agreed.

[BAleroS]

PM me for prices of tails.

[03glgold]

wouldn't it save you a lot of time to just post a price?

[lonnie]

I think the fact that I am an owner, and live really close to him, and that he is willing to meet up should count for something.
Once you meet him I agree! As it stands right now though he is still unknown. I'm still not a fan of someone who just joined the forum (actively) being able to sell right away. I think it could get out of hand, and taken advantage of....but that is my personal opinion.

He seems to understand where I'm coming from, so I'll leave it at that.


...let me say this by the way...I like those tails...I have a white alero as well.

[BAleroS]

Clear Tails-$200
Altezza's-$300
LED Cluster Tails (shown)-$400

Inside of tail lights can be painted usually just black, white, or just left chrome. Quite a bit of customization can be made with the LED's

[guiguilandry]

looks a lot like anderbra did ...

but still they are awesome...

[sleepyalero]

yeah thats who i was referring to in an earlier post.


hmmm 400$ for the set on your car.. hmm....

[rozzy9]

All I'm gonna say is those tail lights look awesomeee! Nicely done! :)

[Duval]

Hell yea those look good! Props

[BoarderTy]

Charge 250. i understand there is a lot of work that needs to be done to make these lights and they are an awesome creation. but if you charge 250 plus the shipping it would take to have someone send you their lights and send em back to them when finished...it appeals more to the buyers eyes.

[sleepyalero]

that guy hasnt been back for a good min, and probably wont be back..

[03glgold]

Seems to cover the whole deal

[sleepyalero]

perfect.

[xXManwhoreXx]

Who really cares though aftermarket tails look gay and ricey as fuck

[sleepyalero]

if i had those in black and led they would look sick and not ricey

[tw0123]

I personally really like the set i found... give the car a definte unique look to the rear... the stick tail lights are the one biggest visual i hate on these cars... probably why all 3 of mine do not have stock looking lights :)
