Opinions Needed
Sunday, January 20, 2008 9:05 AM
I have a 97 Sunfire SE. For my exterior I'm going to add Sunfire GT front and rear bumpers, but I wanted a clean look down the side of the car, so I was thinking about shaving the stock moldings off all together and adding 95-99 Z24 ground effects. What do you guys think it would look like?

It will look very clean and sexy! Definitely do it! I have never seen a Sunfire with the GT bumpers and Z24 side skirts. I always wanted to do that to my '02 Sunfire GT, although I have decided to sell it so it would be pointless to do now .

I will, however, be adding Z24 side skirts to my Sunfire Sedan which has a '00-'02 Sunfire GT front bumper.

I am looking forward to seeing how it looks so please post some pictures when it's all done. Good luck!

Will do! I'm thinking about going with the 00-02 Sunfire GT Bumpers, as I think they will flow into the sides alot better, and they look alot better over all.

Yep, I totally agree. I think the '00-'02 Sunfire GT has the best looking front and rear bumpers of any Sunfire. Can't wait to see your car with this stuff done .

ive always liked the 95-99 fire gt front and rear the best. ive never been a fan of the 00+ fire fronts.

but yeah the z skirts will look good for a nice, clean style. post pics when done




coming back in 2008...

I'll be sure to post the pics. Isn't the 2000-2002 GT rear Bumpers the same as the rest of the 2 dr bumpers?

I can get some pics of a 4 dr with a 00 GT front bumper and Z24 side skirts. A friend of a friend has one. I'm basically going for the same look that he has, only mines a 2 dr so the rear end is gonna be alot different.

Here are the plans:
00 Sunfire GT Front Bumper
00 Sunfire GT Rear Bumper
99 Z24 Side Skirts
Tinted Taillights
Tinted Windows
RK Sport Ram Air Hood w/ Evil Eyes
BBS RX 16x7 wheels
Shaved Emblems and moldings
Aqua Metallic Paint w/ 12 oz Blue Flake

Yes, that is correct.

I would definitely like to see your friend's Sedan!

Your plans sound great. Should be a very clean, sexy Sunfire! The only things I would change is I would get 17s instead of 16s and I would shave the spoiler because it will add greatly to the clean look you're going for. Just my .02 though.

I vote for '00-'02 Sunfire rear bumper.

I had a feeling it was going to be Steve. His car is the inspiration for my own Sedan! Definitely a very nice Sunfire!
