not my style. but its a good start. get ready to be flamed for the tails. the rims dont look bad, except for the damage.
its not a bad start. i would get rid of the tails and the cavalier emblem on the interior and paint the bumpers. but its a good start
SIG coming to an org near you!!!
get flammed for the tails? ..... seen them on other cavs here.

Not many people on here like them. I'm sure the cars you saw also had somebody disagree at one time or another. It looks like your off to a good start. A z-24 kit would look good with the rest of your mods.
heres some suggestion i would do before you go any further
-get painted bumpers, if you dont want to kit it i would go with and ls lip kit (i would at least do this before you get all those led's)
-get rid of the altezzas
-take off the emblems on the trunk and hood
-get rid of that chinese sticker
-a little touch up paint on the wheels
-ditch the pin stripe
-clip the zip tie excess on your amp wiring
-lower it
-paint the door handles
not trying to come off as a dick here, just trying to get you in the right direction

I ddint say this before, but I do plan to sell the car in April. Here is my response to thoese suggestions:
-Paint the bumpers: I might do this because I need to get my trunk repainted also. I am going to get it done by a professinal because I screwed up my first time.
-tails: Dont have the old ones. Plus, I appericate the suggestion but I really like them
-Emblems: Trunk one will be coming off soon, possibaly the front
-Decal: Whats worng with the decal =P
-Rims: How would I match the color to do some touchup paint... and keep in mind I got these rims about a week ago as is... for free.
-Pin Stripe: Its stock, very old, and brittle... would be hard to take off without scratching the paint
-Zip ties: DOH... im a idiot
-Lower it: To much money for struts and lowering springs if I am going to sell it... plus I dont know enough about what to buy to do it
-Door handles: Sounds like a solid idea

Kinda looks exactly what "Not TO DO" to a car.
But hey, you mod your car for yourself, no one else...
I just think it looks like sh!t
I wouldn't drive it...even for free as a winter beater.

if you're gonna sell it...quit puttin money in it....my opinion
Ok here goes..
Lose the Bumpers, Get a stock Z kit in the classifides or junk yard.
Lose the altezza's
Lower it
Lose the steering wheel cover
Lose the badges
Lose the fog lights
Lose the stickers
Lose the pinstripe
Clean up the Rims
Paint the drums/Calipers black
Carpet the Sub box, Hide wires
good luck painting those bumpers. people have a hard time because of the material those bumpers. the paint usually flakes off in about a month or so.
Hey, I have a polished TB and plenum and polished valve cover for sale if your interested.. It will dress up that engine bay realll nicely

My question is, if you plan on selling the car, why are you putting money into it? Save that money to buy something better man.
But, if you decide not to sell it. There's a couple things I think you should do.
-The rims don't look bad, expecially if you got 'em for free. Definately see if you can get the damage painted on them.
-lose the fog lights, they're ricey
-Either get the bumpers painted professionally or find some painted bumpers at a junkyard. They aren't too hard to find.
-Door handles are nice when painted as well as mirrors.
-Your amp and sub wiring are kinda messy. The box could use some carpeting as well. That whole area just needs some TLC.
Everyone has to start somewhere, glad you're starting with a cavy. Post some pictures when you start fixing up some of the stuff man.

Ohhh god.....hide all the Cobalt SS's in Wiggins, Mississippi.
I'm joking, but seriously, don't do the same thing to the cobalt please!

If you are going to sell it, look for some stock tails and a stock dash. Those are going to limit who's willing to buy the car. But seriously, stop putting money into it. You won't get it back.
DNT TRY FTW!!! LOLOLOLOL... it's a 2.2 OHV 4 Door Cav.
