here's my little pos cavalier. 2.2 3 speed auto, tons of raw power (yeah right). i've never done any body work before so i thought it would be fun to try my hand at it. i'm one of those do-it-yourself trial and error types. anyway, here are some pics. i shaved the door handles, locks and antenna. i also got rid of the big gay wing. added eyelids. my new wheels are 18" exel daytonas, but they won't be going on the car until the gravana coilovers show up. i'm thinking about doing a 2 tone paint job, dark red and gunmetal. anyways, on to the pics
here are my new wheels
now you see the big gay wing
now you don't. i think it looks so much better without it. i don't know what i was thinking when i bought that wing. i love the way those toyo tails look on a shaved trunk lid
comments, complaints, hate mail... let me know what you think. i definitely want to add a sunroof, but its not currently in the budget. i need tint too. horsepower would be nice too
Looks way better without the wing. Can't wait to see it painted, you will be putting the door strikes on when its painted right? Wheels look awsome, and glad to hear youre getting coilovers for it.
Good work
sexy beast of a car, i agree cant wait to see it painted
lookin really hot. what color you gonna get it painted?
I think he said he was gunna do 2-tone, anyways really hott so far! I think a CF hood would look killer on there once the wheels are on. Can't wait to see this one finished!!

i'm currently thinking of a 2 tone theme using dark red and gunmetal. i can picture it in my head, but i don't know how it will turn out. i'm gonna attempt to paint it myself. i'm gonna make sure i practice a lot before i spray anything on the car
car looks awesome, not a fan of the eyelids though. Sweet rims!
Looks good bro....so glad you decided to go with the shaved trunk lid!
It looks so good like that!!
Nice and round like I like my @ss's!

email me and we'll work something out
Be original. Put a few mor ecoats of primer, sand it down a bit and put 3 coats of clear coat ovrer it. shiny primer is sexy.
where did u get those eyelids?

i got them from frank (my cars slower than your car), he made them for me. shoot him an email if you want a set. i'm sure he can help you out
Looks awsome man, I love that you didnt use the ugliest part of the Type J kit. That combination is perfect. Cant wait to see it painted.
i liked the wing, but it looks good with or without it. the only thing i would add are the door strikers for the type j sideskirts.
