um, no. I like seeing where im backing up.


You see, we live in this great area that has made wonderful use of these things called street lights. But good for you, you have an opinion.


Not all of us live in areas with street lights.

And my reverse lights are a little required. Tint is too dark to see behind me, so I have the reverse lights and reflections and use my mirrors

And also. Good for you. You also have an opinion.


Totally cool story.

I've never had a car where the reverse lights were bright enough to light up where I was going. Mine havent worked in 2 years, and it's yet to bother me.

I have a few updates. I've got 5% tint all the way around, including a 12" windshield strip. Also, I got a custom plate and installed a dual exhaust. They are 4" Flowmaster tips. The exhaust is still a work in progress, but everything is finally coming together.

Car looks good, only thing other than a drop I would do is to paint the rear light bar black to better hide the Pontiac logo.

Im a big fan. Wheels and a drop and you are good. I like the exhaust tips on it for sure. They look really clean. Digging it. The tint really ties it all in for sure. What else you have planned for it?

As for street lights... Yeah I would rather have bright backup lights than rely on a street light to light my path... but then again I guess I take care of my car and like to see where im going whether its forward or backward. Dont get me wrong its cool you're a baller and have not been using them since 09, but some of use like to use the features the cars come with. Especially ones that help me see at night.

If I didnt want back up lights, then I guess I shouldnt have replaced my back up switch on the trans. that would have just solved that i guess...

Thanks for all the comments. I had the bezel polished out, but it wore off. This spring I am going to polish it out again and clear it, so you won't be able to see the pontiac. As for what else is planned for the car, I probably won't be doing much, if anything. It's a daily and I don't want to put all my funds into the car. I just need it to look clean and simple.

I finally got my muffler welded up. I went with a Flowmaster 80 series crossflow muffler. I wanted a setup that would allow exhaust to exit equally from both tips. It actually doesn't sound bad at all. It is definitely a unique sound for a cavalier. Also, I made a rear strut bar with conduit from Home Depot. It cost me less than $10.00 and it was easy so I said what the hell. It is not the strongest metal, but I did notice a 15-20% increase in rigidity. I will be putting my vert front strut bar on tonight as well as relocating the ECU to the interior. Crappy Blackberry pics for now because I am at work.

Time for updates. I finished my 95-99 trunk conversion, as well as 35W 6000k HID's from DDM, convertible strut bar, and ECU relocation.

Finally lowered the car on Sportlines and D-Specs. The drop went smoothly with MUCH MUCH thanks to the help given to me by Joe Schulte. I couldn't be happier with the setup. I just have to go in wednesday for my alignment and play around with the different strut settings.
