The rear would fit from a coupe or 4dr they are the same. On the front you would change the headlights, hood, and fenders also. The sideskirts should be the same.

Well that sound easy enough. I don't like the sunfire headlights too much not bright enough for me, an was thinking bout getting a OEM CF hood. So I should go ahead an try to buy a whole new front but for a cav?

Use an LS Sport rear bumper than.

2003 - 2005

Yes, the z24 did come in Sedan form too, but all the body stuff is the same on Cavalier Coupes and Sedans and anything from a Cavalier Coupe or Sedan will fit on your Sunfire Sedan. Obviously, if you wanted to put a Cavalier front bumper on you would need the hood, headlights, fenders, etc. For the rear bumper you don't need anything, although if you wanted to you could switch the trunk lid and taillights as well.

No offense meant, but if you prefer the looks of Cavaliers over Sunfires, why didn't you just buy a Cavalier? It would have been a lot easier (and cheaper) than trying to build a Cavalier out of a Sunfire. Just my $.02.

I love my sunfire lol Its just I'm looking for a lower body kit that looks good. If you have $.02 more give me some better ideas.

Well, you could always lower the car. To lower it correctly would be about the same price, if not a little less than buying all new body panels for it.

Like I suggested in your post in the Newbies Forum, you could get a Sunfire GT front bumper which sits a little lower than the current bumper. Than you could add some z24 side skirts and an LS Sport rear bumper.

Check out my former '02 Sunfire Sedan. It may change your mind about everything .

Oh wow I like that GT bumper, I think I will put that on there. It killed me a lil inside but to put those fogs on I actually had to cut the bumper. An I know there ugly but I'm pretty much blind at night lol.

Yeah, I would get the GT front bumper cover. Check out Car-Part.com to search for junkyards near you that have that bumper cover. You will need the crush guard (the part that's directly underneath the bumper cover), the splash shields (they are in the fronts of the front wheel wells and attach to the underside of the front bumper cover) and of course the fog light housings and wiring harnesses. I'm not sure how you would go about wiring up the fog lights, but I know you can use the switch out of an older Grand Am and it's not too hard. Search around on here about wiring and you should be able to get a step by step for it. If you do it this way you will be happier in the end because everything will look like it came that way. I was planning on doing the same thing with my Sunfire Sedan, but ended up trading it in instead.

I would also recommend getting some Sylvania SilverStar bulbs. They will help out quite a bit at night. And if/when you get the GT front bumper, they have SilverStars that will fit in the fog lights as well.

Search around here. You should be able to find some information on adjusting your headlights as well. Sunfire headlights become misaligned very easily. It's not too hard to adjust them and that should help out with your vision at night a lot as well.

Let me know if you have any more questions or anything.

Ok well thx ALOT and on my other post you said to take off the badge on back, that big black thing lol I've wanted it gone but someone said its bolted on an holds your taillights, true?
Re: Will it fit?

I meant the red letters that spell out PONTIAC (if you haven't removed them already).



The trunk panel is bolted on and has a bunch of holes underneath it.

I used a Cavalier trunk lid and taillights for a cleaner look (I tinted the Cavalier reverse lights red and continued using the Sunfire reverse lights to avoid any re-wiring).



You're welcome! I always enjoy helping out whenever I can .
