Fall Winter Daily Driver Pics
Saturday, October 16, 2010 2:29 PM
Hello everyone. I haven't had much free time to take pics and/or post much, but I finally got the opportunity to take pictures of my "winter" car so I thought I'd post them for your enjoyment.

BEFORE:





AFTER:

















Mods you don't see include Hyperwhite LED license plate bulb, Sylvania Silver Star headlight bulbs, Red LED in the shifter, Sunfire HVAC controls (lights up red), Remote starter (remote pictured).

Future mods include: LSS Sport Seats, Power Locks with Keyless Entry, Maybe Power windows, Sway bars, Strut Bars

The goal with this car is to keep it as "Stock" as possible while still being a stylish and comfortable daily driver.

Thanks for looking

looks good man!
switch to an older trunk lid and keep the 03 spoiler!
then drop and the exterior is awesome!



and this is a weird question but i know your close to me.. any extra wheels laying around?

Thanks for the comments and input!

The rear drums will be painted black next year. A shortened antenna may also be in the works. The radio is from an 03+ Pontiac Sunfire. I have the same radio in my 02 (it's from a Grand Am). The radios can typically be found on e-bay, but keep in mind the dealer will have to remove the theftlock.

Dan thanks for the suggestions man. But the goal is to keep it as stock as possible. Thus subtle things like a shorty antenna may be ok, but a drop and older trunk lid would bring me into a whole new relm of modifications (and thats what the summer car is for ). I have extra 14 inch steelies, BUT I use them in the winter as they have studded snows mounted and balanced on them. Other than that I have no extra wheels lying around.

I did not install the cruise control so I could not provide you with detailed information regarding the install. I will say, however, that it does not look that complicated. There is a local shop that installs audio equipment, remote starters, etc... that installed the cruise control. While it was a little pricey, it was also very convenient to drop it off in the morning and pick it up in the evening with the CC installed and ready to go.

While that kit does have OEM look and feel, I personally like the kit I have better. Keep in mind that my 02 is fully loaded and the cruise control on that does not have the crisp responsiveness that my winter car has. I have to hold the button down for a prolonged time and drive at the exact speed for the cruise to properly set. Other times it will go down a mile an hour or so and then back up to the speed I set it at and keep repeating the up and down cycle until I reset the speed I want it to cruise at. With the after market kit on the winter car that does not happen. Its very reliable and precise. Just something to keep in mind.

This. Full of win!
Car looks great man, I love the look of a LSS sedan! If it was me, I would swap out the trunk for a 95-02 with a 00-02 lss spoiler (i hate the 03+ spoilers), but I totally understand you wanting to make minimal mods...I constantly have to remind myself to not mod my DD because that's why I have a second Cav, lol!
