Friday, October 14, 2005 8:07 AM
Hey guys whats up, i had a close friend die in iraq about a month ago serving out country he was a marine he was over their as a snipers helper. He got shot and died instantly, we are doing a lot for his family by raising money and doing a lot to dedicate the u.s. marines. Im buying a 1998 z24 convertible today, and i want to do the whole dedicated to him and the people serving our country. I have seen some cars do like the urban camoflauge which is cool, but i want to see if you guys can go crazy with body mods..... to make it look like something from the war, hard to say what im trying to get at but its kind of like Orange County Choppers how they have a theme and they do their bike in that theme. Can you guys please help me out???? thanks

heres a picture of a cavalier convertible---- that you guys can use! if i chose to pick your drawing as a mock-up i will represent your help onto the car. Thanks!!!

OK, I did this very quickly. You should do a boxy looking widebody, metal strip down the middle of the window maybe. wide, but low boxy ram air hood. maybe a gold/green two tone and also incorperate the navy seal emblem on the paint somewhere. Just take a look and maybe you can get some ideas from this....

maybe some rivets painted on in area, like seperating the two tone....

I'd suggest the Import Fighter front though

HELL YEAH! this is the ONLY TIME I will EVER say this.....the Evo Body kit would look HOOOOOT! With the big circle lights it would look kinda like hte hummer lights. Maybe get the circle lights for trucks that have the chrome bars across them to protect them.

I was thinking that something is missing as well....

One of those whip CB antennas perhaps? The color of the car almost looks like it needs one.

As for the headlights, NiteShades tint 'em, or throw in some black projectors.

How about changing the color to the dress blue with the red blood strip? Then having his rank or the Marine Corps insignia on the door or hood...

Definately Awesome! I'm not sure about the marine colors, but definately Sweet! I like the olive drab/green I believe is how that is spelled. And maybe doing something of the insigna's on the interior? ButI think that would definately look sweet! Good Luck with this product and Best wishes for you and your friends family!

i like the olive drab/green better

it needs some sort of weapon like maybe rocket launcer side skirts or a 50 cal mounted on said roll bar

Why not go with some kind of desert camoflauge look some where? Maybe if you go with the gold/green paint wrap some of the interior with the desert camo material or something. I dunno. Just a thought
