Ah, not bad for Motegi.

Still, I'd add 8mm spacers to make them sit more flush. You'll be much happier with them.

Was originally looking at SkiZZ's thread on his Motegi's when I first joined the forum and made me want to get them but I started to grow out of the time attack look. Plus I wanted some with a lower offset so they would stick out more.

SD hood looks nice, I would of kept black grill inserts instead of red because I think the red make the scoop openings look smaller then they actually are.

kzulfic · 01-12-2013, 01:11 PM

Nice! The SD flows really well. I agree also on the spacers, it would look a lot better.

SkiZZor · 01-12-2013, 03:25 PM

I have to get the hood repainted and I plan on either cutting out the grille mesh or painting the mesh black. As for the spacers, I know I've seen a lot of people saying they aren't exactly the safest things in the world, is there a certain brand or type that anyone recommends getting? For the spring I need to get my front bumper replaced and then hopefully a SCT kit and spoiler.

H&R make good spacers.

People that say spacers "aren't safe" haven't been hands on with them. A lot of the cars at my shop have anything from 3-5mm spacers to entire 15-25mm adapters and we've never encountered an issue.

With your black trim and headlights, spend a few bucks on the inlays for the bumper dimples, blacking them out would look pretty good on your car

Dual post mirrors would look tits on the Alero.

Just throwing that out there.

You know, I've been thinking about it.... But I don't know if I want to. It's tempting though, know anywhere I can get black painted GA dual post mirrors CHEAP? Preferably new.

But I do like my Mickey Mouse mirrors.

I know! I had to clean it when I got home! She got a little dusty.

Luckily it was nice and clear out (just cold) if not i would have cancled my appointment I had for another day.

i don't know about new but scout out the junkyards. i've been pretty lucky with finding decent looking parts that only needed a little wax love.

at least get a set of dual posts to try out the look.

i'm not making fun of you. my friends do the same thing to me since the car seems to never see the outside.

i haven't washed my GA in over a year and it still seems to remain semi clean.

come to think of it i haven't even started it since maybe October or earl November..

you should get one of those pedal bikes that have the motors on them. saw a few for sale when i was going to pick up the girlfriend.

I was thinking a mini bike 110cc.

but that would be cool too, it would have to do at least 30-40 mph. Mini bike has turn signals, headlight and tail light so it's street legal. Just gotta tell the cops it's a 49cc if they ask the motor size, technically anything above 49cc is supposed to be plated/insured. But cops don't know how to check.

I'm sure I can find a new pair wether its eBay or some other website. I wouldn't really want a junk yard one. It has to be perfect to fit my taste, so my best bet would be new.

TDavis · 01-16-2013, 09:26 AM

If I was you, I'd paint the bronze plate on the rotor like a flat black or something. It pops out too much is a weird way to me and doesn't flow with the blue/black.

Eh, its a rotor, at some point it will have to be replaced so its not to much of a worry to me, but I see your point.

Look what I found with free shipping...
