Well I am thinkin about painting my wheels back to graphite from silver. I think it brings out the color of the car more with them dark. I also hate having to keep my silver wheels cleaned all the time. Please tell me your thoughts about what you like better.

How the car currently sits with silver

Here the car was with graphite

oh ok lol.

dickerdieter · 09-02-2007, 08:34 PM

yea i vote go dark, i also think gold/bronze would look nice too, but then you would have to clean it just as often with those colors

ToyotaTat · 09-02-2007, 08:38 PM

i dno if gold/bronze would look right on a cav, just my opinion

OptiCon · 09-02-2007, 08:44 PM

Bronze on Blue would work.

But more importantly, you should really lose that chromed noise tank.
Do they make ones with a black insert (like the CF ones)?

I wanna spend some money at some point and throw a borla pro xs muffler on with a stainless tip.

OptiCon · 09-02-2007, 09:01 PM

There ya go. Much more sleek.

Were there any ground effect packages available for that car from Chebby?

Maybe this?

The01Cav · 09-02-2007, 09:06 PM

Thats the LS sport kit. It was only a 1 year lip kit for that phase of the 3rd gen cavalier. I'm thinkin about getting a 03+ LS sport cavalier in the future and putting a M62 supercharger from GM on it.

The01Cav · 09-02-2007, 11:09 PM

Man now I guess I need to head to advanced auto and pick up some graphite and clear and get to work.

iampakman · 09-02-2007, 11:45 PM

the graphite is alot nicer, a cleaner look too

The01Cav · 09-03-2007, 12:32 AM

Thanks I think that it's gonna be the best way to go with these.

GLHWCU · 09-03-2007, 01:47 AM

Gra-phite Holla!

The01Cav · 09-03-2007, 12:14 PM

My girlfriend says graphite as well. She said that the silver is just too much for my car.

D Money · 09-03-2007, 12:16 PM

paint them blue and fix your downward pointing exhaust.

garrettej8 · 09-03-2007, 01:29 PM
