Another pic of my car

Did minor changes let me know what you think...all comments welcome good and bad.

my suggestion. Paint the entire car the same, and some rims would look good. Were did u get you eyelids?

Don't try to paint your hood black to make it look like carbon fiber, take the kit off it and paint it now. Don't drive around town like that becuase you'll be paying more for paint prep to get any damage you may encounter before hand. Buy a deacent set of rims, lower it, ditch the side moldings, pin strips, and get the type J rear bumper to set off the side skirts. Then do a sit ass paint job on her!

it looks like shit.

paint it all one color, and take those spray painted wheels off, and it would look really nice.

God I hate that car. Please take it out of its misery. One way to do that is to meet a tree, bridge, telephone pole, cliff, semi truck, building or any other large, incredibly stationary object while traveling at a high rate of speed. Repeat if necessary. Happy Trails!

:stupid:

I hate to break it to you, but that looks terrible.

Holy shit, and you guys think I am harsh.

I the kit looks good and I think you have a spoiler that fits it. I would definately get it all painted the same color, mold those side skirts, and finish up the kit. Lower it about 2" and get some 17's and it will be sexy as hell.

I think I remember reading a head light/tail light mask how-to once either on JBO or cardomain.com when I was into body stuff for my Cavalier. Check out those places for a good write up on custom masking.

well ive never seen a body kit on a cavalier that i like, and thats still true, i definetely think you should get it painted though, or take it off till you can get it painted, and that hood looks like shit, total dogshit, worst part of the car in my opinion, to me it makes the car look like you wrecked it, and couldnt afford to fix it right so you just covered it up with that shitty hood and then put a body kit on it, thats probably why i dont like it, and last but defintely not least, are you fucking serious??? please dont tell me those are the stock hubcaps painted black???? whatever they are, they dont look good

the spoiler is actually one of the better looking ones ive seen on a cavalier though,

A) Get rims...not painted hub caps
B) Don't put a body kit on there unless its is the COMPLETE kit, and you have the money to paint it. I hate to see cars with half of a body kit on their car much less an unpainted one.
C) Paint the hood or get a real carbon fiber one
D) Lose the pin stripping on the car
E) You have a hell of an imagination you just have to go all the way through with it. One suggestion is if you don't have everything necessary to complet it in one blow, hold off until you do.

Oh and I'd also tint the windows.

What the fuck? Why in the hell would you paint hub caps? mide as well just buy fake spinners,lol. Sell it and get someting else a real car, or paint it all one color and get rims, damn just pay a hit man to run it to it a collect the money and get a real car.

yeah i have to say i don't really like it...i see too many half assed cars around here...it might be okay once it's all the same color and stuff......attempt at constructive criticism

PAINT and rims...

Well thanks for the comments first of all, Just so you all know most of the things you all said are right. I am going to get the car eventually paint black ( i honeslty couldnt wait to put the body kit on, also have never found a rear bumper that i like) and i doubt it would look better stock because i got the gay primer bumpers, the entire car would not be the same color with stock bumpers. Why paint hubcaps black? cause i dont like them being gray and i dont want to drive around with steelies. Ohh and the eyelids.....lol i couldnt decide if i wanted to buy the kit so i went ahead and did it with electric tape to give me an idea of what it would look like. Ohh and the hood the reason its black now is because my car was in a wreck before i got it so i made an attempt to fix it with bondo when i was done the area was pink and there is no way i could duplicate factory paint so i went ahead and spray painted it black.

Over all i will admit its ghetto, but personally i think its the passion and determination of a 18 year old whose on his own to try to make his car at least decent looking.

Ohh and the hood the reason its black now is because my car was in a wreck before i got it .

lol, damn i hit that nail on the head, its good you have goals, and its also good you can admit your car looks "ghetto" (as you said) while your in the middle of accomplishing those goals, do you plan on painting the hood and body kit first or getting rims?

God I hate that car. Please take it out of its misery. One way to do that is to meet a tree, bridge, telephone pole, cliff, semi truck, building or any other large, incredibly stationary object while traveling at a high rate of speed. Repeat if necessary. Happy Trails!


i wanted to add, if you do take this guys advice, dont hit a semi truck, i know they're waaay bigger but there still is a chance that truck driver might get hurt

::edit::

unless of course its parked, then go right ahead, and oh yeah, POST THE VIDEO!!!!

don't use being 18 as an excuse...i'm only 17 and my friend Schister66 is only 19.....we both work on our cars a lot. Even for being this young, most people wouldn't know it w/ the projects we're undertaking. I was a little harsh, but it looks like you had an idea of where you wanted to take the car, but just stopped. Personally i like a clean looking car, not a ricey car w/ a huge body kit, but to each his own.

UGLY PIECE OF SHIT if you ask me, only good side is that its a chevy

First you should never put a body kit on till after you paint it, unless your just making shore it fits and taking it off before you drive the car again. Getting crap on the body kit before you paint it is a very bad thing. Next your hood looks like it should be replaced, it looks bent up. And finally steel wheels look better then painted hubcaps.

Hmm... well paint MUST be a first priority. Where is the back bumper to your body kit? Leaving the back off is no good. Paint the entire car uniformly. Then ditch the "rims". Find some nice ones to go with your kit. Other than that, it's a nice Cavalier.

There is constructive criticism and then there is just plain being a dick and so far I see a few people that need slapped. Not namming names but you will be able to tell from the replies to this who may be in that boat.

I'm feeling generous today, so no flamming insults from me.

We all start somewhere, and I've done my share of silly things.

Good luck.

And finally steel wheels look better then painted hubcaps.

lol, yea they do even better looking if you trow in sum rim trims, thats way better than painting the hub's...

yea and u drive a???? thats what i thought...so shut the hell up...dont say thats ur car cuz i can get online and find a car that looks just like that and say its mine....loser

Well like everyone else said...first things first, you NEED to get it all painted one color, then work on getting some rims, also, take the pinstripe off. i like the kit...but it'd look a lot nicer if it was all one color.

i drive a 92 caprice with a lt1 with aluminum heads

i like those old school caprice's.

Why did you put a HUGE tac in there? You do not have a race car! Do you REALLY need something that big? Police love cars that have that in cars.

am i the only one who doesn't see a tach

Go to his car domain website. its in his pic. take a look.

lol dont talk unless u know WHAT ur talking about...that tach was free cuz if you or anyone you know owns a 2000 cavalier 5 speed should know it DOES NOT come with a rpm tach....so when i needed 1 i got 1 for F R E E so i put it in...any questions? and y do cops love cars with tachs? they dont like people to know their RPM's? lol

should of just gotten the stock one with a tach. Here's an older pic but you can see the tach on teh stock gauges. Makes it look cleaner. as far as cops and tach, cops love un-stock looking cars

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a6/cavalier2000/Cavalier/Picture013.jpg

why do people have to be such assholes?

Xx ReasoN xX- dont feel bad. it makes people feel like they have large peckers to insult other people's work over the internet.

I would have gotten the stock guages w/ tac, but to each his own.

As for everyone saying everyone else is an asshole, the guy asked for peoples opinions "good or bad", and he's getting them. Yes some of the people are taking it a bit far, but if people don't learn from the previous posts where everyone argues over the comments made about something, that people will say what they want no matter what, then they will continue to put pictures of their cars on here and continue to be flammed by those that don't like them no matter what anyone else says. We just got done with one of these arguements when a thread was started showing the 0-60 in the 2.2. If that wasn't a BIG hint of the types of comments that were to be expected, then I don't know what is.

I got a QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even if it was FREE......Why would you put that BIG, and i do mean BIG tach on your dash. I understand your car did not come with one, but you do not need anything that big. Just get a small one and put it on the piller or somewhere else. ONCE MORE.....Are you blind, can you not see a normal size tach???? When cops see a big tach, they think you are racing!!! I have a tone of my friends that are cops, and they tell me this all the time, ALSO... i work for the fed. govt. THATS HOW I KNOW!!!! ANY QUESTIONS?

Do you type like that at work too?

What? What are you talking about?

vmac, SHUT THE FUCK UP. Why the hell do you care if he has a 5" tach or not? Maybe a better question, how does his tach pertain to Xx Reason xX's car? Also, do you think if he gave a damn what cops think about his car, he would have modded it as he did? No, so stop being a fucking jackass. :nono:

I'm going to side with KustmAce, Xx Reason xX dont worry about anyone's jackass opinion, just doing as you want.

RIMS!, it would look much better with some decent rims, looks pretty good so far tho.

I wish i could have a 10'' tach to, i seem to go blind and i dont know when to shift. lol..RELAX. I WAS GIVING MY 2 CENTS IN. HE WEANTED FEEDBACK,AND I GAVE IT TO HIM!!! FUCK-you little boy.

on a lighter note were did you get your eyebrows onteh headlights?

Look who started the thread. It was Xx Reason xX, not CavLCD128 and nowhere did CavLCD128 ask for your opinions.

Who are you calling little boy, at least I can decently use the English language.

EDIT: He made them with electrical tape to see what real ones would look like. I think it looks pretty good.

on a lighter note were did you get your eyebrows onteh headlights?

Ohh and the eyelids.....lol i couldnt decide if i wanted to buy the kit so i went ahead and did it with electric tape to give me an idea of what it would look like.


Although Thor answered your question...I decided to do this anyways.

lol damn its funny how ppl react...as i said before and as u stated in ur STATEMENT that i got the tach for free....so y pay for a tach when i can get 1 for free? ur a dumbass and Thor is right...i never asked for your opinion in this thread...i dont see ur car on this or any other website..? dont have 1? 2 scared to post an ugly pic? afraid of what ppl will say? its ok...but dont comment...and i have been driving with the tach for almost 3 years and havnt been pulled over ONCE...not 1 time and since u work for the government u can pull up my record or get ur cop "buddies" to look at it jackass....so when i drive by a cop he dosnt think to himself "o...that guys guy a big tach...he must be racing the....hmm....no cars around him....HES RACING THE ROAD! IL SHOW HIM...lol and further more....i have never seen a ticket but im sure when i do theres not gonna b a place on the ticked for "Big Tach"

I work for the fed. govt. You want to make a bet? So i can.

yea il bet u 10 bucks on PayPal.....prove it lol

work for the feds don't mean SHIT stupid ass. What are they gonna do..... pull you over with the big black truck...


Someone please lock this tread....

lol noo dont close it..i wanna see how he proves it...scan ur fed badge or sumtin...lol

The federal goverment doesn't mean he has anything to do with the law enformcement. He'd had to work for the state or county or something, though the fed are police of a sort but they are not worried about no tachs or speeding really. as far as proving it... no one sees that comming. I could scan in my old state badge and change a few things to make it fed... he'll probably hope on photoshop and create something lol... be like the movies

lol...good point and i know ur right...i was just wondering y he thinks he does something special in law enforcement...cuz i dont think feds even care about speeding...basic law breaking and dumb shit like that (lol they bust million dollar drug deals not cavaliers wit big tachs VMAC...)

This thread is an example of how not to reply to a members topic. It has gone off topic, there are way to many explicatives in here to weed through and edit. The personal insults and attacks are childish. Be warned if I see this kind of crap again you will be given a vacation from AF. You know who you are. Don't let me see this kind of behaviour again.
