Here are some pics from a photoshoot I did yesterday. The paint is temporary till I get it done proffesionally in a month or so. It was done with a primer gun and was my first time spraying.

I'm assuming by the looks of it you painted your bumpers. Definately get them done professionally. With that being said, you didn't a pretty decent job. The wheels look good too. Just a little more of a drop and you'll be in good shape.
*mike*

[justinlansdale]

i'm not going to lie, your car looks so much better with those wheels. nice work! if it were me, i would paint those silver grills black though. reguardless, clean cav.

[420sx]

Yeah, I agree about the grills. The silver looks ricey. Love the wheels though.

Paint looks good for your first time. Try wetsanding and buffing and polishing, you might get it to come out even nicer.

[OBEEWON]

Good job dude. A little wet sand and some clear and you don't need a respray. Wheels look better. I agree about painting the mesh or ditching it. I also feel you should attract less attention to the stock calipers. Maybe silver or gunmetal.

I wonder if anyone has ever done a RWD LSX into a Cav.

[Renegade_]

I wonder if anyone has ever done a RWD LSX into a Cav.
They've put an LS1 into just about anything. But I think thats pushing your luck... rear end chassis fabrication is a bitch...

Wheels look a lot better than the ones in your avatar and the fitment really isn't half bad for the front, but you need spacers for the rear and a drop overall. That wheel gap is murder...

Are there any rear brake upgrades for those things? The rear drums are killing it...

[TROLL]

i agree with what was said above... wheels look good, paint looks pretty good, silver mesh looks pretty bad (but would look fine painted black)

[russiankid]

I am not a fan of Cavaliers, but this one looks damn good. Keep up the good work!

[93EGY8]

paint the calipers and drums black, lower it another 1.5-2 inches..and paint the mesh..and you have a damn nice cavalier..and thats actually the frist time ive ever said that to anyone..i usually hate cavaliers..but urs is nice..

[97TurboDSM]

omg that looks 1094083240394823057203948209348203948209x better than before. my only gripe is the hood. i think an oem cf hood would be better but its your car and im just an opinion through a computer. either way, nice improvement

[Erik]

i like it. i think the paint looks pretty nice for the first time spraying it. I would love to do that. the wheels look nice too although i do not like the color of the calipers.

[Da InFaMMuS 1]

i cant believe im about to say this but.....thats a nice cavalier lol.

[HickRocket1258]

Just like everyone else your cavalier is nice or a cavy. Keep up the good work with keeping it clean.

[The01Cav]

Well I got rid of something and added something else to the car, Just wanted to get it slightly cleaner looking. I also painted the brakes today, no pics yet as I need to detail the car and really get it looking nice.

[twastheglow]

Well you swapped hoods for one...
*mike*

[CleanNeon98]

i liked it better before the body kit and hood

[The01Cav]

Well here are some updates, Cleaned up the car, painted the calipers red. The kit is currently off of the car and goes to Wallis collision on july 14th for paint. I have already painted the mesh black as well.

I am thinkin about having this done on the hood next year. What do you think? For those that cannot tell it's the hood scoop painted to match the car.

[jc8889]

Looks 10x's better, is the hood functional?

Neon rear brakes are usually whats gets swapped in. I THINK SSBC still has a kit as well.

Good job dude. A little wet sand and some clear and you don't need a respray. Wheels look better. I agree about painting the mesh or ditching it. I also feel you should attract less attention to the stock calipers. Maybe silver or gunmetal.

I wonder if anyone has ever done a RWD LSX into a Cav.

Its been thought of and dismissed a thousand times. The time, money, and fabrication is not worth it. There is a Northstar V8 swapped cavalier though.

[StreetEG]

Best Cavy ive seen to date.

FWD GTO ftw (Do i get mad acronym points?)

[Scapegoat]

the SS style hood actually flows quite well with this year cav... don't paint just the scoop... it'll look crappy...

I'd have the entire hood painted to match the car.

Clean for a ricey cav...

time to swap in a cobalt SS supercharged drive train though...

[Showoff03LS]

those year Cav's look good w/ the 03-05 LS sport bumpers on them. that the RK hood ?

[BIRD]

nice cavi. i like the ss style hood a lot better then the other one. looking good keep up the good work.

[The01Cav]

I am not sure of the brand of the hood. It's more of a show hood as it doesn't have a functional hood scoop..... Thanks for all the compliments!

[Showoff03LS]

then its not from RK Sport, i believe that RK's are functional . its looks nice.

A Girl and her Cavalier is a Beautiful thing

[The01Cav]

The girl in the avatar is my girlfriend, this is a guys car.......... She has a 08 tC.

[Showoff03LS]

dont that suck, nice car dude

[The01Cav]

not really she has a nice long payment. I'm almost paid off lol.

[Showoff03LS]

i know the feeling, still payin off mine

[GmFwd]

This car looks so fimiliar...

Are you on bstuff? My name is Barry over there.

[DropTopChevy]

Decent looking car. Keep the taillights stock just incase you were thinking about it. The hood I'm not sure if I like the old one or the new one better.

[The01Cav]

Well here are some updates long story short the kit is in the shop right now waiting for paint so needless to say the car isn't kitted. I do have a couple updates though.

Small timeline here

Primered kit.

Meguiars gold class wax is my friend, really helps in bringing out the shine in my car along with the meguiars #2 crystal polish.

[Da InFaMMuS 1]

[garrettej8]

[The01Cav]

[The01Cav]
