hey guys i am an 18 yr old with big dreams in the car world this car is my very first car i have ever owned its a 4dr 1999 cavalier with 180 000 km's
Comments welcome positive or negetive i want your opinions on things i should do or shouldn't
Well here are the most current pics its winter here
so there not the best pics
some pics from the summer time my favs!!!
You definitely have the worst one to start with in my opinion. I hope you can get creative and really take some time to get into the hobby and enjoy your time modding, dude. In my opinion a base model 95-99 4 door is putting you in a hole to dig out of with mods lol.
A couple little things that go against my taste(not to say you don't love them): Take about $20-30 and snag a full cheap intake so you don't need any of that heater hose. It will help clean things up in the engine bay better. Not a fan of the tails, but you might be so I'm not going to tell you to remove a mod you like. The fog lights on the front look horridly out of place like that also.
But if I had that car to start with, this is what I would do(again, not saying your taste has to be like mine, but just some ideas to think about)... First would be a Z-24 body kit, then a nice air ride kit, some 18's, then unless you are in love with the tan a respray would be in my plans for that car. Those mods alone would make me happy with the exterior and get moving onto a good sound system. But like I said, these are just the things I would do if I was modding a 4-door. I'm a fan of a simple and clean and low 4-door.
On the other hand....you have other fingers.

id stay simple .... full Z kit... cf hood black headlights, one piece, sportlines some nice 17s even.. dont even worry about making your cav fast. just make it look sexy haha ... search for jnights cav.... he had the same model cav, well at least a tan 4door..

Wow, now thats not a GTC. haha
ok man, first thing I'd do is lose the cheap eBay parts. Cheap parts make your car look cheap. Listen to Azn too, seriously clean and sexy is way better than cheap and tacky. The car has potential.

stop modding it, save your money.

^ I agree with darren, that car is pretty gross.
also if you want to keep your intake.... go to the parts store and grab a 90deg elbo for the throttle body... take your intake tube .. turn it around and reinstall everything minus that black plastic piece. if done rite your filter should be back in the stock location..
wow, just wow. Have to give the kid some props, atleast the fog lights work...
Don't let being young make you think that you can't get sh!t done.
I hate people that use that excuse, I'm not accusing you of that, just saying it bugs me.
and fyi I'm 17.
overall I think you should loose the ebay mods, maybe think about a z24 kit, drop, and some wheels.
and that intake has to go.
Don't think you have to go get mods right away. I know I was always patient in my younger years. Save up some money, definitely go with a new suspension and new wheels. A nice subtle body kit would work as well, maybe some window tint. There's potential there. Good luck!

Fog lights are out of place honestly. As far as tails, I think 00-02 tails would look great. IF fighter front would be sex and 4 doors always look best sitting on the ground. Remember, bags & switches get the bitches.
I had something really funny to put here but it was too long.
If your deadset on modding it:
Lower it, 17" rims alteast, rebuild the engine then turbo it, kit it, and if you want to keep the tan color add some carbon fiber.
this kid is never coming back rofl

No worse then your old Sunfire, maybe thats why you sold it
^ i think you need to give your head a shake, i had one of the cleanest 4 door sunfires around there bud
tell me whats wrong with this..
not as good as yours??
Im not saying mine is better
At that stage your car looked great, but you also had stages were it looked pretty gross.
ya the first week i had it until i joined JCO
Ok whatever, back on topic the only thing I would change is the bumpers to a Zed kit(and dont re-use the fogs)
and change the exhaust. Other than that IMO its a good start
Glad to see you upgraded the can.
I think its a great start man, buy what you can afford for the car...... my car in some peoples onpinion would still be gross looking and i started off in the wrong direction buying @!#$ty cheap tacky stuff; but i learned and i am now going for the clean look; only think left for me to do is loose the aluminum wing....
The z kit would be nice on your car, with a drop spring, and some wheels, cf hood, and maby some tint.
Good luck...
