OFFICIAL: What did you do to your Alero today?
hoping to make this an official thread-sticky?
today i let my car get soaking wet and kinda clean, then bought some turtle wax upholstery cleaner and went to work on my Smoke stained seats. I give the turtle wax cleaner two thumbs up, it took alot of the stain out and made my seats smell new.
Also heres a photo
OR TWO....

Drove it from point A to point B and back.
Sorry, did not realize this is the alero appearance section.
Well, not today, but last weekend I had it washed and put new pads on it. The old ones were literally bare metal.

had to work today, so just drove it. but this was yesterday
valve cover is actually a lot darker, cherry looking red (shitty phone camera) put on new gaskets for all that while it was off, and replaced the black intake box with pipe.

Bought a brand new 12" Type R (600w RMS) to replace my cheaper sub, of which I thought already hit fairly decent. Now my ears feels like I just got home from a concert.....

its good to see this thread has taken well. -Ion, keep up the good work, i wish my motor looked that nice inside.
papa rad17- i still feel like red is a honda color for "valve cover" paint. but looks good! nice intake, is it autozone spectre pipe? i wondered about the pipe, i didnt think it would have all the holes and hood ups for all of the stupid sensors and crap that are attached to my stock intake hose.

the first pipe right off the throttle body is the cheap autozone pipe. then the rest is actual chrome pipe with the K&N filter. It only has the one hole for the sensor, in the first coupling I drilled a hole then sealed the vacuum hose in there and put a breather on the valve cover where the other one would have been. getting rid of that black box helps a ton.

yesterday, i popped my rear door panel off, and hit the locking mechanism with some WD-40, then vigorously worked the lock rod until it moved some-what freely. and then put the panel back on, and locked the door. Now my driver side rear door is locked and stays locked.

Today, I'm about ready to take my Alero out and set it on fire... It's falling apart, and the lack of money to fix it isn't helping things...
