You'll have to mod a set of coupe GT sideskirts to fit the sedan.

Would the "swap" be possible with all aftermarket parts or no? Or better yet, was the FE2 suspension an option on Sedans?
Should, since the only real difference that I can find from FE1 to FE2 is the change from an 18m sway bar to a 22mm sway bar.
hey man up here in canada they made sunfire sedans SLX with the 2.4 or the ecotec depending on when u got it. It was basically the bigger engine the monsoon radio and power everything

Seriously?? Ramairsedan's been around here near as long as I have.
He's kept a somewhat low profile but is a respected veteran of the scene here and a Precizion member to boot.
I probably have seen it before, just forgot, I tend to do that. Plus I've only been around for a little over a year or two, active for less then that. My statement of "DO THAT" still stands J to Envy

I know the obvious stuff like:

- working factory fog lights / working factory fog light switch
- front license plate filler
- GT-specific wheels
- dual exhaust
- leather wrapped steering wheel, shift knob and e-brake handle
- front seats that flip forward / driver's seat with lumbar adjuster / passenger seat with back pocket
- power sunroof / power sunroof switch
- cruise control / intermittent windshield wipers
- power mirrors / power locks / power windows / alarm
I also know the GTs came with the FE2 suspension. What is the difference with this suspension and how hard would it be to turn the SE suspension into the FE2 suspension? For example, I know the FE2 comes with a front sway bar. Would the "swap" be possible with all aftermarket parts or no? Or better yet, was the FE2 suspension an option on Sedans?
Were there any 2002 Sedans built with the ECOTEC engine? I swear I've seen one before (a stock one, not a swap), but I could be wrong. I don't want to be looking for something that doesn't really exist.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
let me help out another Sunfire person.
If you want a Sunfire Sedan with the Ecotec in it, you can find them. Their build date will be from Oct-Nov 2001 to around July/2002. The optional engine was worth about $400 (L61/LD9). Usually dealers ordered them with the 15in tires on it instead of 14s.
2.4L engine were stopped being produced in Sept-Oct 2001... I tell you because I searched hard for one in March of 2002.
And if you want to get specific on this...
- GT front bumper / crush guard / front wheel well liners--- yes
- working factory fog lights / working factory fog light switch--- yes
- front license plate filler---yes
- GT-specific wheels---yes
- dual exhaust--- yes
- leather wrapped steering wheel, shift knob and e-brake handle---yes
- front seats that flip forward / driver's seat with lumbar adjuster / passenger seat with back pocket--- not needed as you will have a 4 door, instead try the GT specific cloth trim.
- power sunroof / power sunroof switch ---No, 4-doors never came with a sunroof from the factory
- cruise control / intermittent windshield wipers--- No, CC was optional, variable delay was optional too, one speed intermitent wipers was standard.
- power mirrors / power locks / power windows / alarm---No all that was optional too.
add
-CD player--- GT was standard
-Monsoon was optional only on coupes too
-Conveniance package was optional on GT only-- It included trunk net, reading lamps, assit handle, and overhead storage console. But when you had the sunroof...the storage console and assist handle would be deleted.... In my case, I intalled the assist handle even with the sunroof. The storage console would not fit because the S/R switch is there.
If you need any more info let me know.

FE2 suspension has a rear stabilizer bar welded inside the rear beam axle. FE1 and FE0 do not. There's different struts too, but I can't remember the exact details. Search in Suspension forum for FE3 and you should find the thread... because we were discussing how FE3 wasn't an option on the third gen J-body.
^ I love the changes he made to his car, with a good drop and the right rims it would amazing.
. The only person I have seen, around here anyway, who has done a pretty close, if not complete, GT swap is Stephen Smith. His car is my inspiration 
. So, in other words I guess with the suspension I would have to "cheat" a little. I doubt anyone is going to know whether or not I have the rear stabilizer bar 
. The struts wouldn't matter since the car would be lowered on aftermarket ones. I will definitely check that thread out.
. Who's car is that? I'd like to see more pictures of it if possible.
