1997 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24

About This Vehicle:

I bought my car used thinking that I would eventually save enough money to buy a vette or camaro but the more I drove it the more I liked it so now I'm hooked on my J-car. Mods started out small with a new deck but then I missed the bass my old car had (1992 Ford taurus Police Package 3.8L, I had 2 15" kicker impulse subs that pounded!). Naturally I though about getting a sub and things just went downhill from there. I've tried to keep things subtle and classy, trying to avoid anything that looks tacky or like a McDonalds restaurant.
