Body Kit Help!!!
Saturday, November 27, 2010 6:14 PM
Anyone know a place to where I can get my kit put on? Its not pre-drilled, I was thinking MACCO n I was going to have them paint the whole car too. Yea i know its MACCO but I have like no cash, a minimum wage job, plus im still in highschool. Any other ideas? For those woundering this is the kit....

BTW the exhaust hole should be on the otherside of the bumper

You have a minimum wage job, dont you have anything better to spend 500 bucks on? thats like a 1/4 of the way to a turbo kit, or 2/3 of the way to a nice lowered setup to get rid of that hideous looking wheel gap you have in your sig pic. At the very least pic a less hideous looking body kit, and one that has the muffler cutout on the correct side.

If you could read after the link and see also no turbo, pops wont let me. I do plan on lowering it but not till later on. Id say after its painted.

Screw it then save your money and buy something better that a cav if you can't go turbo. A nice e30 bmw can be had for around 2 grand and that rwd and will have a manual hopefully.it'll look better and handle a hell of a lot better. Oh yeah, even though the car will be 20 years old the interior will still be worlds better than the cav and the shifter will feel worlds better.

I wanted an e30, but they're near impossible to find up here rust free. And the folks said no rwd, and they were buying so I wasnt complaining too hard. THing that killed me is the day after I bought the super charger I saw an add for a completely rust free 325i coupe that was just brought up from florida last year for 2 grand, the exact bmw I wanted.

Yea well ive got another car also. Well almost.... My dad has a 72 olds 442. When i turn 20 he said its going to be mine. Of course I wont be driving it every day nor that much at all really. Its wayyyyy to nice. Its got a 350... soon to be 455. with 44,000 original miles. Flowmasters, edelbrock intake manifold, eaton posi, not sure on the shift kit he has, i think its an BnM, but it shifts HARD and its an auto. I cant wait. but im sure by that time ill have a different car. Leaning twards either a new cav or cobalt. Pops wont allow a RWD car for me as an everyday car. Even though thats all hes ever ownd. Hes had a 77 trans am, 79 camaro, 70 442, 68 cutlass, we recently sold a blue 68 camaro and he's had much more. He said he lost count at like 40something on the amount of muscle car he has had. Makes me wish I was living in his generation...lol

Why not consider an import? There's a reason every highschool kid goes Honda. (cheap/easy)

The 03-05 Cavs aren't much of a step forward over 00-02. More like a step sideways.
And the Cobalts? There are people on jbo that'll defend it to death but I'll just say they're not exactly a giant improvement over the J's... in any aspect.

As for the kit, I've seen worse front bumpers but that rear?! Fugly...

I agree. The cobalt is 300#'s heavier with basically the same @!#$ty suspension but better engine management.

Well my whole family is like GM fans, Dad has an 08 equinox and '72 442, moms got an 04 malibu maxx SS, Sis has a 98 cutlass, and i hav an 00 cav. Dad went to ATC and has been a mechanic for GM for like 27 years or so. Saturn IONs dont look that bad either, almost bought a black 3-door but went with the cav. Happywith my choice but I would like to see what the ions about.

Ion's a cobalt with different body panels. actually better put would be that the ion is an Opel with different body panels and the cobalt is an ion with different body panels.
