Alero help!
I was driving home from school friday night and it was raining out. I was on the highway and some lady stoped short and my abs didnt kick on and my wheels locked up and i hit her. she has no major damage, just a scuff on the rear bumper. but i need a new hood, front bumper, and headlight. maybe an impact bar too.
What I wanna know is, will a hood and front bumper from a 4 door alero 2.4l fit a 3.4l 2 door alero?
Someone help me out please?

It is the same. Fenders forward have the exact same parts, 4 or 2 door

Thanks. And this is off topic but by any chance do you know how to change your Member type? For me it says "GX Member" but I drive a GLS..

only thing to watch for on the hood is whether it has a prop rod or the hood struts... iirc the struts are just a clip pin to remove, but the brackets are welded on...
as for the membership type, it changes as you post more... certain number of posts equals your level of membership

whoa!!! whoa!!! before you spend money on parts and think about doing the repair yourself, let me see some pics of the damage the described hit is telling me that you have more then just parts replacing
very very possible that the core support is damaged, hood hingges, hood latch, lock support, maybe is taged the frame rails if your not in the trade just replacing parts ontop of damaged structual metal is just stupid
and why are you not claiming this on insurance you hit the person so insurance has to be invovled here what insurance do both parties have

That's your rating on the site. The more you post, the higher it goes. Has nothing to do with what you drive
Yes the front end is the same on all of these cars

I've been around cars for a while. I checked it out and I only need to get a hood, a drivers side head light, and the whole assembly for the headlight as well as a hood lock/latch. The bumper isnt even worth replacing but while im at it i might as well. the Radiator is fine, as well as the frame and everything.
Insurance was involved, I dont exactly know where it stands though. I know that since i hit her, Im automatically at fault. Also, I have basic coverage, not full (so my insurance would pay for her cars damages, not mine). Also there were no injuries, it was a simple "fender bender" so no police or ambulences were involved. it wasnt that serious so i dont know whats gonna happen insurance wise because i know some companies require a police report.
I would take pics but I drove, (yes its still driveable, just not at night because its missing a headlight) it to the body shop yesterday morning.
I got everything under control, I just wanted to know part wise if its the same.

Not sure of your background, but i doubt you know nearly as much about cars as bdyman, nor do you have the expertise he has. I highly suggest that you snap a couple pics of the damage and let a professional look at them. Just putting new parts on a damaged car is dangerous, and honestly pretty stupid.

I over looked the obvious stuff it needs, everything else seems intact and fine, but my friend who owns the body shop is going to overlook everything just to make sure. But I know what you're saying though, thanks for the advice
