Spray Paint, ehh its a start
Well im new to this forum but have been checking out ALOT of things on it and it gave me influence to actually mess around with my own 99 alero. Right now im spray painting the inside (yes i know its not the best way to go but im not raking in the cash either) im using red and black by Dupli-Color, unfortunately the red looks better sprayed on than when its dried but ille figure that out on my own, other than that I have put on a new carbon fiber shift knob (for looks obviously the carbon fiber wont make me go any faster) Ive also put in those multi-color lights that I noticed ALOT of people also have, and I have custom gauges from SpeedHut, im also getting in an Aluminum Wing (at first i hated them then as my buddy put one on his probe it started to appear more appealing...that and it was cheaper) My next Big plan for the alero besides fixing the brakes turning the rotors and putting on new tires, would be buying the Kombat Body Kit and putting it on. I honestly cant wait to get this body kit i have seen only a couple cars with this and unfortunately my car is going to look alot like 2fast4u's car, which dont get me wrong the car whoops some ass but i want something original but hey I dont plan on putting this in any show....yet. Well anywho I just felt like rambling about my car, letting every one know that Alero's can whoop some ass too, and was wandering if any one had any suggestions for the car, Interior and Exterior Appearance wise, Performance, me and a couple friends will be working on that, Putting in a Cold Air Intake, and wasting most of my money on a Supercharger for it. Well thanks for at least tollerating my rambling.

uhmmm, dont put an aluminum wing on your car. they look like crap on every single car they are on, and 100000000X more stupid on an alero...

You need to do more research into the supercharger. The RSM supercharger is known to break down a lot and it is way over priced. Look at custom turbos, they are around 1500 - 2500.00 mark and will add just as much if not more power then the charger. You also have to remember you may need to change the tranny and some other things so do research or your going to be sorry later. As for the painting of your interior IMO your going to be sorry in a years time after the car has been through a summer. You will start to see chips in the paint and a whole lot more of a mess over time. I am bringing my parts down to a custom place to have everything redone the right way. As for the wing don't waste your money on it. Your getting an AAS kit go for the Razzi wing, about 250.00 shipped and looks bad ass with the AAS kit.
Just my 2 cents.

aluminum wings just aren't for our cars. you can pull off a lightly larger then stock wing, if the car is kitted, but it has to be fiberglass.

Performance: Custom turbo kit
But first.....do a lot of research. Then, do some more research. Then talk to some people with the same engine you have that have turbos and see what works and what doesn't. Then do some more research. Learn how everything works, and what parts are the best to get and why. Then start collecting parts. I suggest visiting http://www.jbody.org as there are tons of guys with 2.4 and 2.2 turbo engines that make some serious power.
