Updated Cell Phone car pics (in order)
Monday, May 26, 2008 8:08 AM
Ok this is a lil bit of work ive done to the Cavi (still dont have a name for her)

I painted / recoated the bumpers:

Front:

Back:

Far front:

Far Back:


Then I bought some new lights:




I fiberglassed that hideous dent:



The fiberglassing was super easy by the way, that stuff hardens so fast its not even funny.

And last but not least, she's lowered and primered:




Thanks for looking

hey JHand whats the size of your tires and rims??
Im looking to go smaller, and i think i may get skinnier tires, the big 195 70 14 make the car look higher than what it should look with coilovers

Yeah I'm not a fan of shaving the moldings off. Makes them look don't know weird. Hey if you like it that is all that matters.

The side moldings don't really flow with anything. They are just there to protect the doors. I think our cars look a lot better without them.

I liked the shaved moldings. On my Z i had all the emblems off and moldings off. I will say on a 2.2 with no side skirt it looks a little wierd.

finally ITS PAINTED!!!!

Bumpers need to be changed because lets face it paint doesnt like to stick to plastic (or atleast base model plastic with that weird texture) plus I still have that dent on the rear bumper from that camaro, causing the paint to crack a little when it dried, I also have a few more scratches i need to fill in and fix the dent on my car a little bit more and then off to get spot painting done. It sucks though Maaco want 180 i believe for the bumpers but I got the car done for 280 wish I would have had the parts before hand. Well enjoy, the color is Le Man's Blue Metallic:
