Idk, the laws in my area are lame, you can't have the drivers window tinted at all, back window and pass front minimal.. so I'm thinking illegal. Ide love to put a strip on the windshield as well

Duval · 02-02-2013, 01:33 PM

Wow, I didn't realize anyone had commented on this thread lol. No disrespect meant twoard the car itself.. I just had 2 sets of "alero" badges and wanted it to say something differet. I worked in a detail shop for 3 years, mad me realizs most people don't give 2 flyin shits about their car. Why not have a little fun and see who notice

I persoanally find it hillarious and plan on blaring tech9ns song this summer, sportin the badge.

Cars supposed to have a tranny in tomorrow, fingers crossed on this one

im running HIGHLY illegal tint on mine here in Iowa basically we can't have tinted front windows at all but its all good its my toy so its all good with me

Duval · 02-02-2013, 02:44 PM

Idk why it re posted that lol.

Yea, I gotta have it all or its not worth it

03Sleepr · 02-02-2013, 07:09 PM

Car looks good! you gonna try to go to ASS?

Also, I wouldn't really worry about the tint as long as cops aren't aholes around there. I've been pulled over countless times and I'm running 5% with the legal limit being 35% and haven't had any problems.

03glgold · 02-02-2013, 07:26 PM

yeah while I haven't mentioned much about it I was thinking that sleepr and my other friend if they are going could stay together in either clay or concordia then if you follow the most direct route with proper timing we could meet you in the chicago area, and if DeeJay from LA decided to come though he says he definately isn't he could meet up with us in York, NE or Lincoln, NE depending on where we left from...that is if you decided to go

It is looking nice so far

In due time. If I can manage to find the money, I would consider going. Girl wants to take kids to disney land this year.. gonna cost a pretty penny as is. Car is up on a rack at work right now, new transmission bolted in and ready to go. Bunch of little things to hem up tomorrow.

On a bugett exausht too! No cat (hasn't had on since swap) so. Strait stock pipe to a Thrush 2 in muffler and out. Idk how its going to sound. We shall see

After seeing it up there all day I would like to paint the front bumper before summer, and I seen a couple dents in the drivers door. Damn perspective change

Duval · 02-03-2013, 12:50 AM

Mind as well wait until the fenders/qtrs start peeling cause you didn't take the bumper covers off or at least drop the sides when you painted it (or whoever u had do it). Give it a year or two and the clear will start peeling away. Same goes for the hood.

Duval · 02-03-2013, 01:03 AM

Eh, they will be alright. I'm not too worried about it

Redog · 02-04-2013, 07:57 PM

OK so let me see if I understand all of this.

Your car doesn't run, so you spent your money on paint, you're going to basicly have your car say tit on that back with stock lettering, and you painted your bezels so your headlight look cool at night when you sit behind the wheel, pretending to drive, while making race car noises.

Ummm, okay

don't worry, I'm laughing at you

OK Once I read that he got the car painted and something like it's not running I was like

Duval · 02-07-2013, 12:18 AM

Lol, it wasn't running or driving when I painted it tho. It was my last days at my last paint shop, there wasn't any work to do so we painted my car on the clock.

Race car noises made it sound like a rice rocket :P didn't do my v6 justice.

She runs and drives now however

1750$ is what I'm into it. The alero goes anywhere from 2 to 5 grand over here, so it was like making payments but with parts instead lol

Now that's its mobile I gotta say I think I'm falling in love with a new (for me at least) breed of GM

Alerojester · 02-07-2013, 12:26 PM

my car literally sounds like a ricer ( stupid idea to put a fart can on it) it sucks i can't here my own radio even turned all the way up

simple solution...remove fart can, though that doesn't matter with a bad motor

Duval · 02-07-2013, 05:00 PM

Lol, mine sounds good, like a v8 and a ricer mash up, little raspy on the revs. Ill post a video before long.
