I do enjoy a wingless Fire. It's gotta be LOOOWW tho.
Lemur's is by far my fave.
Man those can be a pain, so much welding warpage if you not careful. Worth it tho !
well i got the whole lid sanded and around the holes ground to the bare metal, no welding yet, and ill try and get pics tomorow, i know im slacking but ive been running around trying to find my re-chargable batteries all weekend
I got lucky and found a color matching wingless lid at a junk yard. best mod i ever ever ever ever ever ever did!
lucky you, around here in the maritimes i'd be lucky to find another coupe lid like this one i fixed up without it being full of dents and/or rust, this one only had 3 small dents, and the little bit of warpage from welding, and zero rust
I'd recommend getting some paint on that.. The weather is going to tear it up.
Primer is porous, and absorbs water. If you leave it like that all the time you spent on it is going to be for nothing.
Looks way better man. I can't stand the factory spoiler. Your cars making me want an 03 rear now. hmm.....

im not worried, i ran my other sunfire in nothing but primer for almost half a year, and never had a problem when i did the rest of the body work and prep to it

thanks, and i used to really hate the 03-05 rears, but its starting to grow on me
who did the welding for you???

I love my wingless 98 but my 05 just has to stay winged. The 03-05 body style doesn't look that great wingless IMO. Great job though!

not really, cant seem to find an intake anywhere, so an ebay LD9 intake will have to do
Looks good. Going spoiler-less is the absolute best thing a Sunfire Coupe owner can do.
