96 to 03 grand am`s and malibu`s are the same cars same as the alero
most junk yards here will not part out parts sepertly ya will need to buy the whole nose
hood
head lights
head light mounting panel
bumper
re bar
now i was considering doin a grand am gt conversion on my car i can get the whole nose for 500
very easy to do
but this is just my opiion

i think i would like that, a GA gt front end with the alero rear would look really nice

11-18-2003, 02:15 PM

do the new 03 or 04 grand ams have hid? or projectors? That would make it look very nice? but i bet they don't

Silentalero · 11-18-2003, 02:23 PM

No they dont, and btw the new GA have the alero body to them if you look at the doors

11-18-2003, 02:31 PM

o yea, is that cuz there using up the alero parts? but arnt they doing away with the grand am too? or not?

11-18-2003, 06:12 PM

they are but not this year and they are bringing in the g6. BTW ITS MY 100th POST! YAY!

Why would you want to do that, malibu on alero. Anyhow, most of you guys must not know about just in time manufacturing, no they aren't just using up the old alero doors. Come on the alero is around till the end of '04 you think there is that big of a stock pile of doors, just emagine the overhead cost. Get Serious.

I'm hoping for good things from the G6, it'll be GMs "sporty" interpretation of the apparently very solid epsilon platform, and it's supposed to get a 240HP V6, and/or a 6-speed manual, and/or all wheel drive... not sure if all those options will be available together though... but a high-pressure turbocharged ECOTEC would be my pick for the engine... the new 2.4L with variable cam phasing that makes 170HP & 170ft-lbs naturally apsirated...

the G6 looks like the prototype of the alero Since 1997 I had been waiting for the alero to come out and a little dissapointed when it did not look like the prototype maybe the G6 will look like the alero was supposed to.

sorry to get off topic

yeah so i was looking at my moms malibu today.. sitting next to my alero in the driveway... lol.. who wanted to do this?

johny_boy32 · 11-22-2003, 03:05 PM

not to jack the tread but I have seen a handful of grandam's with alero doors on them.

I'd take a Pontiac Ram Air front end if it could fit, but I seriously doubt that. I wouldn't want to put a Malibu front end...eh....gross. To think I almost bought one of those.....

the grand ams and aleros always had teh same doors. Now the ribbing is gone off the new SE's which is why you can notice the alero "line"

11-24-2003, 01:37 AM

i really like the ga`s ram air hood that all i was sayin
not goin to do to costly it was just a thought

11-24-2003, 01:48 AM

11-24-2003, 01:58 AM

headlight mounting panel
