I've been reading the org for roughly 2-3 years now.. pretty much ever since I got interested in the J-Body platform and I figured it's time to post the project I've been working on with the help of my parents since I was 15 (I'm only 17 right at the moment so don't bash the parents thing)
Anyways, enough of the back story
The Car:
2002 Cavalier Coupe "VL" (it's some odd canadian model)
Engine:
2.2L 2200 SFI
Mods:
Alpine/Pioneer Sound system
Drift body kit
Ebay L.E.D M3 mirrors
Ebay Clear Corners
95-99 Inner Tails
Shaved Spoiler
Shaved Emblems
Clear HVAC knobs
Ebay short shifter (working on getting a b&m one the ebay one was a bad idea...lesson learned) and thats it for mods I think
Here's some pics
C&C welcome, also I know I need some wheels/tires so throw in some suggestions and opinions on size/color etc.
Thanks for looking

Nice ride man, I would of loved to have a modded car when I was 17.

Nice looking car. Is that a GM blue? It's nice. I'm partial to polished AL wheels, myself.
Looks good..
I like the direction you started with it.....
not bad. looks good.
as you know it needs rims. before rims it needs a drop and some L brackets to fix the sag in the rear
I think you should have done rims and tires before the body kit. Sticking a body kit on a car that otherwise looks just like any other econobox does nothing for me. I do give you props on getting it painted instead posting pics of an unpainted body kit on your car.
FORGET GIRLS GONE WILD WE HAVE GOVERNMENT SPENDING GONE WILD!
I agree..it's lookin good..my old 00 Z was that color..but I would have dropped it and put rims on before the body kit..but keep it up
Being that its a Canadian car..... tell me something...... Do you have a Tach, and if not, whats your cluster look like?
One last thing, where is your stock front bumper?
Looks pretty nice!

I dont have a tach, and i can run outside and get a pic for you.. and why do you ask about the front? want it? i'm kinda looking to get rid of it

Good start for sure!
I'd go with a chrome or gun metal rim, 18s without even thinking about it!
Get some L brackets on that rear bumper too...the sun hits that too long and you'll not fix it!
Eh...old man with a Corvette now...it was bound to happen sooner rather than later right?
Great start. Definately get some wheels on that, at least some 17".
I want your cluster for starters...... Trade you a US cluster with Tach, or I have a Canadian cluster here with Tach...... just not sure if that one works 100%
Then..... I would love to buy your front bumper off you...... if you can get it shipped, shoot me a price

R-1 Racing Hype
Motegi DP10

for me
I like the first one, still has the black(something I want), but is a nice color(or lack of color), but would look really good, might have to check them out myself. I have been trying to find a nice set of 18 that I like, but everything I have seen does not jump out at me like I should get it.
looks great....good job for being 17. yeah like everyone has said, rims and a drop are needed.
and for your rear, this is what you need to do to it:
click me
and me
and me
and finally me
Looks good Steve but like I said get that rear bumper fixed up. Also I have a B&M shifter in stock if you want it, send me an email or PM if your interested. Also I can get you those Motegi's if you want, let me know and I can price those up for you too.

Thanks, i guess reading on the org since i was 15 has had it's influences on me and my ideas
and yeah i saw those pics before and thats what i plan on doing as soon as the paint is all done curing.. (should be in like 2 or 3 weeks now i think) then i'll go attempt to fix it.

All you need now is rims and to lower it
