first post, what do you think?
Wednesday, September 17, 2008 2:40 PM
Well, after observing for quite a long time, I finally broke down and took some pics of the sunfire. I've not done much yet, but it is a start. So far I have shaved the badges and side moldings. I have put on my front and rear and primed the rear, I will be molding that in soon. I have added some 18" Alba Bertha wheels. I have plans for a drop in the near future, I know its a 4x4 at the moment. I still have the side skirts to put on and some plans for a new hood soon also. Please let me know what you guys think. I have learned so much from all you guys on here and hope that it will show in the future with my ride. Thanks to you all. And to the pics. Sorry, they're not the best quality.

Add some sides, paint it all one color, drop it a little, clean those tires and it'll look sweet! Good job so far

Sides, drop, and paint are all in the works. Sorry, but the rims stay. I fell in love with them years ago and although they're not for everyone, they are for me.

Simple minds are fascinated by shiny objects.

You need to lose the rims like a bad prom date.

sell the rims, buy some 16's or 17's gun metal or black with silver lip with the money, and use leftover money to paint that kit and get some sides for it too. decent start though.

Wow. Some of you guys are in a harsh mood.

I'm not a fan of the rims whatsoever, but if you like em, enjoy.
As for the rest of the car, get some skirts skirts (03+ RK Sport Cavalier sides would probably tie those bumpers together pretty good), and paint the kit. It will look a lot better.

peanut butter & ketchup don't go together...

those wheels on that car with that half body kit don't either.

If you were going to raise it (like a DONK) they would look ok with the stock body kit.

But a car with half of a tuner body kit (OR EVEN A FULL ONE FOR THAT MATTER) does not look right with closed face

chrome drug dealer wheels.



Not trying to be harsh, I just call em' like I see 'em.

he mentioned he has to put the skirts on so it sounds like he allready has them. get the sides on and get it painted and it wont be to bad. drop it definatly. watch that kit though, with a drop youlle have to be careful with it. and once the body kit is fitted to yoru car. take it off and go back to stock until its ready to be painted. no since driving around with it unpainted.

Definitely not a fan of the wheels at all.. but once you get it dropped, get those side skirts on and get it painted.. shouldn't look too bad. The wheels are going to continue killing the look though..

Rims are not my style....but there isnt nothing wrong with the rims.....You just got the rims on the wrong car! You got a some what sport compact car thus those rims do not look good on a car that looks like a sports car or close too it.. those rims go on something more like a luxury or cruiser car...


GMR has got nothing on this
