Alero Carbon Fiber Parts

[SikMindz]

At the request of another member here at A-Mod I spoke to my contact at Cerious Performance about getting carbon fiber parts done for your Aleros. Any part you guys would like to see is possible but to make the project worthwhile they would need 5-10 committed buyers. They can do hoods, fenders, trunks, interior parts, etc. etc. as long as there is enough interest.

I've already sent them my wishlist of parts I want to see them make, so post up in here if a number of you are interested in getting any parts for your car made in CF. You can check out my car in the Showcase section if you would like to see the hood that they currently produce for my GA.

Let me know, as their soonest molding shipment will be in about a month.

[johny_boy32]

We've talked, you know how I feel. I will wait to see if there is a enough interest with the rest of the members

[2fst4u]

if you could get that same hood made for an alero, i'd be in

[jabartram]

Its all about the money.

[bigmikerlo]

Id like to get a carbon fiber trunk and hood as long as the price isnt 600 for a hood.

[slowandlow]

i will take a trunk and a wing. would doors be expencive?

[-Alero-]

interested in trunk and hood

everybody wants everything for nothing....600 for a CF hood isn't bad at all IMO...especially for a "dead" car...

[Silentalero]

/\ yea seriously, thats why nobody gets anything made for our cars. Everybody wants the best for $200. Maybe once i get the osv kit finished i can offer a c/f version. I'll have to talk to ya more about that sik.

[SikMindz]

NP Marc. Anyways, right now for the GA's, the CF SC/T hood that I have is $699 + S&H but could be brought down to ~$600 with 5 or so buyers (less if there are more). This is seriously some quality stuff. My hood uses the stock latches, lined up perfectly and weighs in at 23 lbs. Not much more you could ask for IMO.

[slowandlow]

i will say cf fenders and trunk and wing and miors housing maybe we can have some vents in the fenders behind the wheels

[-Alero-]

i'd enjoy an OEM style carbon fiber hood, but some sort of aftermarket looking fenders would be nice too, just not Z3.

also for the hood, is this gonan be available for the 99's? or older models? cause the ones after 99 use hood props.

also as for the trunk, is it possible to leave the trunk tail lights out, for the shaved trunk look.......if not its cool.

probably would be cheaper doing a shaved trunk, so its one piece instead of two.

[SikMindz]

To answer all your questions at once, yes all of the above can be done. It's just a matter of if you guys really want the parts and can pony up and front the cash. I don't know if they're going to have preorders or what, but I'd expect at least some type of refundable deposit to ensure things on their end.

'Cause so far, everyone's come up with some great ideas but none of them are that focused.

[SikMindz]

Here's the deal ya'll:

5-10 people would be required, if you could have them put down a $100 refundable deposit that would speed up the process, for a large part like a hood. 20% down of the retail value on any other parts. The smaller parts, well if we could locate the parts quickly, we can begin molding right away, and if we get the deposits we can get more hoods ready before Jan/Feb hopefully.

So- figure out a hood design you want, get me some pics and PM me if you are SERIOUSLY interested and have money to deposit.

[UnoWHO]

I am interested ina boser hood, theres already a topic somewhere on here with pics, its nothing to flashy but gives the car a nice look, you could probablly work in a scoop or something. I think there were a few people interested in the other topic so we will see, but if its 100$ deposit Ill do it...as long as I can pay like 100 every 2 weeks(thats when i get paid)..

[johny_boy32]

$100 deposit sounds great but what would the total for the hood be? I'll see if I can't get some pictures of the hoods I would like up in the next couple of hours.

[johny_boy32]

Here are some ideas, I'm loving the Evo style hood, I don't know about everyone else but I would kill for a hood like that.

[johny_boy32]

or these...

[SikMindz]

You guys decide. I don't have an Alero so my opinion is kind of null.

As for pricing, the price of the SC/T CF hood I have is $699. However, I can probably get the price down to $600 for you guys if you can get at least 7 people. From there, the more people you get the lower the price will be.

Chat amongst yourselves...LoL. I'm just here to play messenger boy since I have a good repoire with the company already.

[-Alero-]

i think we all can agree on this.......in carbon fiber.
http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/4337/finalboser7ng7xe.jpg

and as for this......i dotn like the middle part but im diggin the slot o nthe side. it seems to be on the same side as the intake (for us) so that'd be cool if it was functional.
http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/6880/blach6ci.jpg

[UnoWHO]

I agree on that boser hood, prol could work in a single scoop in the middle of it too to get more for our money :-D

[FantomForceCustoms02]

-Alero-, I don't think that will work just because of the shape of the headlights. Although it does look really mean. Too bad Olds didn't make the headlights like that.

The stock hood would be nice in carbon fiber, but if we're going to do it, we might as well make it look different.

The Grand Am Ram Air hood would be best. I think we should aim for producing that one. The Evo hood wouldn't fit our style cars, and a single side scoop looks like poop.

I'll try to start it off...

it has nothing to do with the shape of the headlights, the hood just comes down further.

[johny_boy32]

i'm with fantom, theres no way i'm paying $600 for an OEM carbon fiber hood. If i'm doing this, i want it to be different. I'm all for the ram air style hood. That was my fist suggestion.

yeah the ehadlights have nothign to do with anything. the hood is just longer... and curls over the headlights.

the ram air hood on the alero is gonna look absolutely disgusting....it will be the only 2 vents/holes besides the damn fog lights and center gap........someone photoshop the ram air hood on the alero and admire its greta looks on the car it doesnt belong on.

[slowandlow]

i say trunk or doors

[SikMindz]

Aiite. So 3 of you, eh? I spoke to my contact the other day. In regards to a different hood than mine that us GA guys are looking to make, my contact told me that if that much interest was generated production of the hoods could be as early as Nov./Dec.

I'm going to have to disagree, I think the ram air hood on the alero would look absolutely amazing. Hopefully someone photoshops it but i have no doubts that it would look good on our cars.

[UnoWHO]

Im in on the boser with a single scoop very sleek scoop contoruing the top of car flowing nicely, I dont think that the ram air would look right with 2 scoops and three holes in the bumber.

this is prolly a really stupid question but which one is the boser hood, is it one of the ones I posted. Otherwise, do you have a pic?

[gre0481]

Just curious,


I like the look of the headlights on the alero, but like the top grand am gt style ram sir hood.


Are you saying they'll make it so the front lip/edge lines up with the alero headlights and grill?

[UnoWHO]

The boser one is the one -alero- posted, it makes the headlights look mean without having to adjust the headlights at all, its a nice look imo

[cannaert]

if its Ram air i am in. I want to do this to a steel hood and DHL lost it. < long story. But yea i want somw hting that will help or cars out a bit.

wtf...........why cant i edit my posts....... oh well i guess i'll never know..........anyways if you noticed johnny its the silver f***ign alero with the slanted hood.....

You got the same motherf***in bodykit that I had but at least mine's a bit different. You're poop aint any diff. than every other ***** kitted car out there.

Anyways, FFC...I'll double-check with Cerious and see what they say. The GA guys that wanted other cutom hoods only have like 3-4 people in as well. :emotlol:

you're dumb. if u still feel the need to talk poop to me, do it in a pm. i'm just stating my opinion of cf, if u dont like it get over it. stupid ricer.

[SikMindz]

You are truly ignorant. Nobody asked for your opinion nor was this thread intended for people to make opinions about carbon fiber. "Ricer"...lol. Now that's just funny coming from you. You with the big, heavy chrome rims on the Alero AND GTP. YOU with the mini-truckin wannabe ass suspension set up WITH a kit. What happened homie? Couldn't lay the car out with the stock fascias so you had to cheat and use larger body parts? If I'm a "ricer" than your car is just a piece...grow up you juvenile little kid.

Now, as the thread was originally intended for there are three of you that are hardcore interested. IMHO I don't think that's going to cut it, but I'll ask. Did you guys decide on the Boser-style hood for sure then?

[Travis99Alero]

since you chose to keep crappin this thread, i will to. i didnt realize chrome rims made somebody a ricer...maybe i'll start a poll about it.

[-Alero-]

god ok yeah anyways........if you guys plan to make the grand am style ram air hood, count me the f*** out.

the ram air hood, would probably only interest people with a little bit more exterior mods such as a body kit.

imo the boser hood style would probably interest peopel with or without a bodykit because it makes a stock alero and a modded alero look good.

[slowandlow]

some fenders and trunk

[-Alero-]

lol one at a time. i want a trunk just as much as you do.

but im sure hood can get a few more people and maybe faster since its usually the most wanted.

so i msure as soon as we get the hood underway then trunk can be next

[cannaert]

I like the boser hood to. If we did that one i would be in on it.

To travis i am not a huge CF guy either but If i can make my car lighter i am all for it. The only thing i would do it Paint it. and a lot of you might ask way. so know one knows you have it.

[-Alero-]

exactly! i'd consider painiting a CF hood, but CF looks good on my color.

[kwhauck]

i'm 442 style or out........

[Spilner521]

the grand am style looks good on a grand am, but i dont think it would look that great on an alero. the boser style i do like...and if thats whats decided on i'd most likely be in for that. but i'll wait to see what everyone else decides first before i say i'm in for sure.

looks like quite a few people on the boser hood (rock oN!)

it is a problem if you want a solid bond, i want either all metal or all composite, i don't want too 1/2 bonded together, on the 442 unless the hood is rigidly on there with big calculations as far as airflow and what not, 442 style scoops would rip right off.........

[FantomForceCustoms02]

The 442 hood wouldn't be bad. I just want an aftermarket CF hood. So I'll be in for the 442 or the ram air, but definetly not the boser. That one little scoop on the side looks so dumb. We need to agree on something here this isn't going to happen.

[SikMindz]

You guys had better decide quickly because mold shipments for Cerious Performance go out at the beginning of October and the next batch of molds don't go out for a few months later.

Off topic, but the other GA guys got it together and we have 10 CF SD hoods on order and 5 SC/T hoods getting ready to be made. I'm just scrambling to get some smaller CF parts made- any of you 3400 guys interested in a full CF engine cover?

Anyways, all I need is for at least 5 of you to be serious about this and able to put down a $100 refundable deposit. I can talk them into making a batch of 10-15 but need you first 5 to show them that there is enough interest for them to even take the initiative.

Let me know ASAP.

all boser hoods "curl" over the front bumper/grill. just like they "curl" over the headlights. it's been that way since the germans have been doing it in the 70's. and it's still that way now.

[Swat]

I am here now.

Which hood is it that you want on an Alero?? I see about 6 different versions!

[FormulaNERD]

he wants some sort of 442 scoop, like a cross between the 442 northstar, and the oldschool w30 442.

[johny_boy32]

and one that was on the original alero, look through this thread and the other, the pictures are somewhere. If not, kyle has them.

[FantomForceCustoms02]

I'm kinda liking the 442 Boser hood. The 442 non boser seems like it's lacking something and kinda of odd, but with the hood curling around the headlights it sets it off more. The only thing is that I don't think i would paint the scoops a different color. Or since it's going to be carbon fiber I would have the scoops painted to match the car and leave the rest carbon fiber.

I would probably do something like that as well. He sikmindz, bring that picture to your guys so we can get this rolling. Let us three know.

[sound_xtreme]

im tellin, ya, you arent gonna get a boser to fit/look right. our headlights are like big fat bubbles, wont work out unless you get custom lights made too. ive helped make a couple "boser" hoods and i can tell that without custom headlights, it aint just gonna happen on an alero. but hey, more power to ya if ya like to waste time and money on something that will be MAJORLY ugly. if ya could get the headlights custom made cheap(which is impossible), i'd actually probably buy a set and a hood.

[FormulaNERD]

i see where your concern is, and i know you have alot of paint/body experience, but i dont see it as big a problem as you do. maybe someone can temp-fab something up. just to get a better idea.

if my hood actually got messed up when i put it in the ditch i'd tack some pieces on from some scraps i got layin round, but alas, no such "luck"

i have an extra stock hodd, but the one skill i lack is how to weld........

[FantomForceCustoms02]

Well it looks like none of these are going to work, the only reasonable hood would be a stock cf hood. I'd be willing to buy a stock one but not for $700. Maybe for 200.

[FormulaNERD]

lmao.

supplies alone are more than 200, not counting a mold, etc.

a stock hood would probably cost the same as any hood, with scoop or otherwise.

I'm kinda liking the 442 Boser hood. The 442 non boser seems like it's lacking something and kinda of odd, but with the hood curling around the headlights it sets it off more. The only thing is that I don't think i would paint the scoops a different color. Or since it's going to be carbon fiber I would have the scoops painted to match the car and leave the rest carbon fiber.

I would probably do something like that as well. He sikmindz, bring that picture to your guys so we can get this rolling. Let us three know.

I'll email him Monday but I'm warning you now that it's going to be expensive. 'Cause the way I look at it you have 3 that would purchase the hood and that's it. If I had them make 10 I'd be flat out lying to them to say that people besides you 3 would be all that interested...

[johny_boy32]

another group buy down the drain, why doesnt that suprise me. Let us know what happens none the less.

i have a stock cf hood, but it is getting shipped out monday or tuesday...

[slowandlow]

i say go with something simple like fenders or a trunk

[FormulaNERD]

^ thats a different issue, fenders and trunk wont be a problem because they're stock replicates, and theres no discrepancies on which styles etc.

[SikMindz]

LoL...close Formula. Except you forgot one MAJOR thing. He's the only one interested.

[SikMindz]

So I guess no one was really interested in CF parts here then. We're getting a new hood made in CF for our GA's and more CF trunklids for $450.

*shrug*

I guess just PM me if anyone changes their mind.

[johny_boy32]

you know my feeling, 450 is a great price if there was more interest.

450 is definately a great price. its too bad everyone interested can't agree on one hood.

it is too damn bad. it is just pathetic nobody can agree on one hood. at least there was one hood made. but until most of you can agree on something there will probably nothing ever made for us. good people. :thumb: :rolleyes: :pissed:

so next time anyone wants to bitch about nothing having this made or anything, go look in the mirror and bitch to yourself and then bitch at everyone else on here.

lets see the busted group buys

HID
hood x3
fenders
leather interior
cf or wood interior pieces

can't remember the rest.

great work guys. it's teamwork like that that really ensures the furthering of the alero community. :thumb:
