Backwards Progress
Tuesday, September 14, 2010 11:17 AM
So the title basically says it all, the body kit was finally looking nice, then my mother decided to back into my car in the driveway, needless so say the polyurethane bumper beat my fiberglass one. But the day before I picked up a very nice carbon fiber hood, but glad i didn't mount it because otherwise it would have been damaged too. So here is my backwards progress from a full body kit, to z24 kit mixed colors, and carbon fiber hood.

I'm glad I passed on that hood when I bought the wheels.....

yeah, that hood would have flowed better with the big body kit....Perhaps a SS style, invader, or OEM CF hood......I love Red Z's with stock bumpers....looks way better..

That really sucks about your car..
I would have to agree, the hood is hideous, and personally i dont like the tinted headlights.
But i do like the Z kit.

To bad she didn't back into that Kenwood sticker too.

Hood is to aggressive for a stock car.

Too bad that hood and tinted headlights weren't casualties in the accident, both are hideous.

that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra
scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster, roaming the countryside.

Glad to see you got rid of the kit, that rear bumper looked like it didnt fit right anyway.

Meh, never was one fond of that hood, I have the similar one but with less angles for the nostrols, but I think it would flow better with the kit back on there. Goodluck tho. I actually am one for bodykits (most people like stock looking cars, I personally like body kits, hoods, and such) so I liked your car with the kit on it, altho that rear bumper needed some work. But goodluck, with a new kit the hood should work better then it does now, it just kinda sticks out.

To bad you didn't put the hood on before she backed into it. That thing is hideous and needs to be put out of is misery.

I like the hood...but IMO there should be a bad motor under a hood that aggressive. But to each their own.

Kit wouldve been infinitely better if the rear wheels wouldve been spaced out.

I like hoods like that.... on TransAms...

Otherwise it's a bit much for a nearly stock Cavalier.

couple of things, first i like the matte look of the tail lights, i can actually see pretty well with the headlights, plus living in detroit you could drive with them off and not know the difference, and the back bumper was jacked up from the start, the guy before me tries to mold some stuff i had to fix. the hood keeps me engine slightly cooler while cruising which is nice because the header really heats up the back side, the car is going to stay red, sanding it down now for paint, and with the detailing after the paint job, it will flow better, but anything looks ridiculous when you have a green front bumper on a red car

I REALLY hope you didn't just try to say the hood is for cooling....on a stock motor.....

i've said it before and i will everytime i see that hood. i can't unsee the hideousness of that hood...thats the fastest way to ruin a car that can flow nicely.. that hood doesn't do anything but ugly up a car.. if i were you i'd pull your z front bumper and have someone back into that hood so you can get an actual nice hood.

ok having spread my hate on the hood, good luck with the route your going

Haha try backing your own truck into your own car that really sucks. Fortionately the car had already had an incident with a deer so only the truck was really hurt.

well when you have about 13 cars, things start to get crowded at the house, luckly only 8 are at the house.
