Some new things. Rear end before/after, shift knob, gauge
Saturday, October 06, 2007 2:47 PM
I got around to installing: Shift knob (B&M) from Jason at A+. Same exact size as the one that came with the b&m short throw, so that was good. Also installed RK Sport carbon filler and matching tail lights. (Red ones looked funny against the carbon IMO). And painted the front grills black to match. Also have a Gauge to install, will post pics of that when it's on.

* Sorry the car is dirty in some pics. Too many bugs.

Thanks! That picture I just realized sucks, so here's a good one. And a pic of the finished grills: (including strange reflection on my side window)

car looks awesome, im just not a big fan of the tails.

i think it would look really hot if the tails were blacked out

z yaaaa --- That's the stock sunfire console. It must look similar to a cavalier one!

And thanks Eternal and sinister for the nice comments. I agree that tinted tails would look great. I went to auto zone the other day and asked if they had any spray tint for headlights or taillights. They looked at me like I was some sort of idiot that spoke of something never even dreamed of.

2K+ consoles are all the same. Sunfire or Cav.

Second console debate I've seen this week! lol

didn't you get the memo, its center console awareness week. lol.


looks good, but how can you say that stock tails don't look good with the carbon fiber filler, yet you put fake c/f next to real c/f and think it looks good?

It's definitely not ideal, but it's the best option I could think of right now. I like how it looks. Tinting tails is an option down the road. The only thing about that is the brightness of the light. I won't use them if the brakes barely show through.

I WANT ONE OF THOSE KNOBS! I kind of liked the look of the stock rear end better. Maybe if your car was a litle more radical body styling like with a kit it would look better with that rear or if it had a carbon fiber hood.

By the way if you tint your tails you only use just enough to tint them not spray them till they are black. Mine look just as bright to me at night as before. I was worried about that myself. I plan to take a pic of my car and another jbody with stock tails tside by side to see if there is a difference.
