I present the new CAV2HAV! 2004 ultra silver metallic Cavalier
What you see is what i did within 2 months to get it ready for Spring Fling.
After she was all cleaned up after judging at Spring Fling in Panama City Beach
RKsport front valance/ side skirts
17" Evoke black rims with Riken Raptors
tinted tail lights with vinyl covers on head lights
motor is all stock except for magnaflow hi-flow cat with 2 1/4" piping to duals out. don't worry it is goin to be changed very soon
15% tint
JVC/ Powerbass sound system
i also moved PCM to under the dash
lowering and exhaust is next on my list to tackle.
also on list is 2000 rear trunk/bumper so i can use my RKsport rear valance
The old 2000 which i still have but all parts are on my Silver one
your front wheels are to low of an offset. they look like they stick way out pass the fenders. i was thinking of running that lip with an 03 front conversion. i didnt think it was that low compared to those sides.

well i bought them used off a friend and i didnt know anything about them other than i wanted them. is there a way i can fix the offset without getting new wheels? i was in the same vote when i ordered the skirts since i had the front already. probably once i get her lowered the difference between the front and skirts won"t be as noticable
mabe flare out your fenders some? the rears look ok or try looking into some toyota cavalier fenders.
looks pretty good to me.
not a fan of the massive dual fart cans and the painted mirror bases but to each his own.
We all need somebody to believe in something...
i may have to try that. do you think i would have issues when i lower it? and what set up would you suggest? im not looking to slam her but something to get rid of wheel gap with some handling.
well dont worry Z yaaaa those wont be on there for very much longer as im going with a Magnaflow Camaro style muffler with Magnaflow stainless tips
did a quick PS and if its anything like a real drop. your tires will stick out even more lol. what size you running for tires?
man i need to get her lowered soon. that is HOTTTTT! thanks Azncav.
im running 215/50zr17. what set up do you suggest that i look into.
damn 215/45/17 is the size your looking for.
Needs a rear lip bumper before anything else.
Mirrors are the only way to do it.

well if thats the case, and it can be brought up some to line up with the lines for the bottom bumper grill, i think it would look 10x hotter. like this.
compared to this

thanks for size. what would you suggest on a nice spring/strut set up to set this cavy off
yes the front is attach correctly. i believe the skirts i got are the IF's and i even called RKsport to ask before i ordered if they lined up and they said they should, guess they were wrong so i should have went with the 03+ skirts.
i do have a 00-02 RKsport rear valance, but i need to find another 2000 rear bumper along with the trunk.

the ls sport sides are even higher then the IF sides
yes that would look hot, but i would have to modify the lip drastically to get it to line up and find a good way to mount it. as now its held on with 3m tape and rivets cause i had problems with sagging on my other cavy with just tape/screws. its holdind tight now.
well i ment to say 03+ RKsport side skirts sorry
I like it. Only needs the few things mention already to be mint.
I do find it funny that you didn't tint the reverse lights but, you did tint the headlights. Seems backwards to me. I'd be less worried about not having real visable reverse lights rather than headlights and front blinkers.
the front is tinted with a smoked vinyl cover cause i didnt want to spray tint them because of that. i can see about the same with them tinted as without.
i like the theme u got goin' there! i think the middle part of the bezel should be body colored! all black kills the look!

Lookin good man, you're on the right track and congrats again. If ya need anything, let me know
Sorry, man...I really don't like it
No rear lip, the sides don't seem to match up to the front, the exhaust system is way over the edge and somewhat gawdy, our mirrors look better without the base painted, and headlight covers? Meh.
Needs a rear lip or new bumper to cover those fart cans...from the first few pics i thought you were rockin steelies...those wheels need a polished lip for sure...black wheels look like missing hub caps goin down the road...
not to be a prick, but like i first said in first post is that im hopefully goin to be able to install a 2000 rear bumper/trunk so that i can use my RKsport rear valance. exhaust is goin to be changed to Magnaflow muffler with magnaflow tips cause i already know they look like crap and sound worse. i just need to get funds up.
Wheels are staying, but i may get them powdercoated a gunmetal
like i said earlier i did all this within 2 months. i swapped all the parts i could from my white cavy to my silver one.
Don't worry but there is going to be changes.
what suspension setup do you guys recommend for my ride?
