what is the best body kit you can get for a 2003 Cavalier sedan? Im thinking about putting one on my car.
That's all a matter of opinion...it's your car, what do you think looks the best?
As far as quality, I'd stick with urethane if possible, fiberglass always has fitment issues, and obviously isn't quite as durable as urethane.. RK Sport makes a really nice urethane lip kit (I have it and love it), as well as the Type J kit which is a full body kit with replacement bumpers (also urethane). Razzi also makes a urethane lip kit which is pretty nice, you can probably find pics of it here in the photo/media section. There is also a urethane version of the drift kit, I think it's made by Pure motorsports or something like that. Last but not least, there is the GM Xtreme Tuner kit, but don't hold your breath looking for one of those.
As for fiberglass kits, there are a ton out there (and even a ton more of knock offs)...some of the more reliable vendors I would recommend checking are Gravana Tuning and A+ Performance.
Good luck finding the Razzi kit as it has been discountinued.
I have a 03+ BC2 "Zen" fiberglass front bumper that i dont need.
You can get the Razzi kit from Razzi. They are saying it is a 2door kit, but I am waiting on an answer if it will work on the sedans. Sorry for my earlier comment because everywhere I looked said it was discontinued!
Ok just got an answer: The number for the 4-door Razzi lip kit is 193-200 and is around $850 + S&H. Pricey, but remember you get what you pay for and that kit looks amazing!
Not a fan of Razzi personally.
IMO, BC2 is nice, Type J is nice for an "agressive" style & the GM Extreme Tuner kit is a nice one as well for your year.
The stock LSS kit is also very nice & clean..
Depends on the look you are going for... only you can decide that.

wow, probably the only other front id ever consider...
i was actually gonna get that green front because i liked it a lot. but i went with the Type J because i found a great deal and i like it much better. plus its polyurethane.
first I need to ditch the stock 14 inch rims. I think I could sell the tires since they are in decent shape and one is only a few months old. So i was thinking something in a 17 inch maybe?? alot of people around here are going with a black rim. but im not so sure if it would look good on a white car. id consider maybe a blue wheel, since i want to do the car in white and blue.
this is the current picture of my car.

The only real advantage with fiberglass is it's easy to fix and it's easy to modify if you're wanting to do something custom.
You're right though, definitely get some 17 or 18 inch wheels. I put my body kit on with my hubcaps and it didn't work at all. Black would look perfect on a white car, just make sure it has a polished lip. I'd keep the stock wheels though, its always nice to have a backup set. I had a blowout but instead of being without a car for a few days waiting for a new tire, I put one of my stockers on and didn't miss a beat.
I'd go with a silver or bronze/gold colored wheel.

I plan on working on this 2003 Cavalier this fall. after I get my new 2011 Camaro. It will become a third car/project. I also have a 2006 Pontiac G6 GT.
