that will get you a basic turbo kit, exhaust, tuning, a cam, and maybe some heads if you shop around, you are gonna need more if you really want to compete.....

OP.. there's no way to cut and then continue the existing CF weave. like mark said, make it look like you did it on purpose. but a paint break over it, or another panel with a lip that covers the splice or something... you could prolly pull it off without tooooo much of a hassle

I think that is what I'm going to shoot for, the good part is the stripe will be painted on again and will cover most of the cut up, except for about 1/4 on wither side between the stripe... if that makes sense

I don't know if you remember my other thread.. But I'm aware of this. 4k is my starting cash on the motor. I plan on getting to the heads with the money, maybe intakes. Then set more cash aside. I'm dropping alot of cash on this car for no reason besides the fact I'm exploring new water for cheap in a sense.. So money is all over the place, Hope to be done mostly by next july, and finish it at wyotech

God that's classic! The part about seeing another alero with the same body kit. There's no possible way that will ever happen. There's probably 7 total alero owners in the world. It doesn't matter what you do to It you're never in a million lifetimes gonna see another alero like yours. That's why having an alero is so badass... because no one has ever seen a modded alero. That's why I love my car. No one else has one. And the more I do to It the more badass it will be. Yeah so my car does the quarter mile in 16 seconds... big deal I love driving my car and love how original it is. Nuff said.

ok the whole thread was about carbon fiber not the other bullshit
you can do it but your going to have to use more carbon fiber to make it look good and take your time cutting it this shit is strong but its not like cutting wood more like plexiglass so tape where your cutting it makes it easier ill pm you with more info when my bro wakes up he does body work
