Newbie.. introducing my car
Saturday, December 18, 2010 10:33 PM
Hey everyone I'm new to the J-Body community. Just thought I'd pass by and introduce my cav. I guess I'll start with a brief history about my car. Well, my mom bought this 04 cavalier from my uncle about 2 years ago. I wasn't very interested in cavaliers cuz where I live people that drive them are mostly old people haha. When I started college last year I crashed it. It wasn't that bad but it was my daily driver. I fixed in a month later but I was riding around with a black front bumper and hood. It wasn't till this past August that I decided to do something with it. This is what I have so far....
















There's still more to come. Planning to remove moldings, paint mirrors and door handles, and buying front bumper piece where the emblem goes this coming semester. Comments/suggestions are welcome. Thanx.

I wanna be Negative Nancy I like those wheels but.... the paint on the front bumper doesn't match, the pass side fender isn't right, and the bumper/headlight aren't lined up right.


On the other hand....you have other fingers.

Nice and clean. I would do something with that front grille and a CF hood, then focus on making it faster.

Yeah I know, my whole front is messed up. I took it to some body shop to get it fixed after the crash and they did a horrible job. The left fender is somehow bent so when I open my door, it pops. The left headligt is all crooked so it's pointing a lilttle bit down. and like JLAudioCavalier said, my bumper/headlight aren't lined up right. I'm planning on getting the LS body so I' not really worried a lot right now. And I want to paint the whole car again so it can all match haha.

Sounds like u got some solid upgrade plans, and need to kick that body shop in the dick... Every single employee who saw ur car and let it out the door like that.

with the fender thing i had the same problem, you can push the fender with your hands, on mine i had to push it forwards and pull it out a very little bit just enough for it to clear and i havent had a problem since.
