I love the look, the only thing that takes away from how otherwise sexy the car is, is the exhaust..

IMO that style muffler/tip doesnt look good on a J (not many cars for that matter).... Id say get a camaro style muffler setup, or something like that, and youre good to go....

otherwise, its nice and clean and I love the rims.

Things I might add (if youre looking to do more)
Hood (the "trans am" style one with the scoop on it, not sure of the name)
Clear headlight lenses (or a projector setup, clears look hot IMO)
Paint match the mirrors to the car (gloss black)

I think its 100% awesome as is, but the little details IMO (headlights, mirrors) are what makes a stock looking car scream sexyness, stockish with a bit of "bite" if you will.

I want a GT bumper!

You know I love it! It's sort of like my car's black twin ! Seeing as I'm such a picky person though, I have a few suggestions :

1. evil eyelids on the stock hood
2. paint the mirrors, door handles and trunk panel black
3. paint the calipers and drums black
4. shave the damn spoiler already would ya
5. get a shortened antenna like the one I have (the one you have now looks weird because it's bent backwards)
6. oval bodied mufflers instead of the round ones

Are those Ohio plates I see? If so, will you be at the Bash? If so, we're so doing a photo shoot together !

If you want some GT door panels and side skirts to go with that bumper, let me know. I am wanting to get some doors from an SE and have the holes in the fenders and rear quarter panels shaved and then add some Z24 side skirts. I hate the looks of the GT sides .

Thanks for all the nice comments so far guys, really appreciate it
and yes, yes, I know my mufflers look silly and I'm hoping to change them up next year, but as of now I think I'm going to keep them cause I do like the sound they make, but they def. don't look the greatest.
Painting of the drums/calipers is coming very soon, don't you worry and I do want to pain my mirrors/handles, any suggestions on what type of paint to use?
I don't know about clear headlights, I think they look fine the way they are.
I do however wanna put eyelids on my hood, that is for sure coming in the future, and also I want to take off my spoiler I just don't know how much it would cost to get the whole in the trunk filled and then repainted.
Antenna is staying, me and my friends all have the same one, our "stuby" antennas haha
oh and J TO ENVY, yes I'm from Ohio and yes I will be at the Bash for sure, so get your camera ready for our photo shoot =P
Thanks again for the comments/suggestions, keep them coming

car looks awesome man! shave that spoiler for sure though, looks sooo much better without it! and a little off topic but what kind of wax do you use?? my blazer is black and always looking for new waxes to hide swirl marks and get that great shine.

Don't feel bad about the mufflers. I had the same type when I first changed my exhaust .

As far as painting the mirrors, door handles and trunk panel you might want to see if they could cut you a deal when they shave your spoiler. The body shop I go to will do stuff cheaper like that since they already have to mix up the paint. I would suggest going around to some local body shops and getting some estimates for all that work.

I agree about the headlights. I think the stock ones look just fine.

"Stubby" !

w00t! I can't wait for our photo shoot! Those will be some uber sexy pictures ! 2000-2002 Sunfire GTs FTW!!!

he doesnt need to, all he needs to do is wax them a few times and they'll look brand frickn new and 'gloss black'. same goes with EVERY 3rd gen j mirror.

what sucks is the rain washes it right off after like 2 days of it, but just wax them again and the shine comes right back out.

Thanks again for all the kinds words and yea yea, the exhaust. I got the two mufflers from Phlatcav for a good deal so I put them on. Look funny but sound nice, hopefully I can get a new setup next year when my money is good.

I just love the look of a stock sunfire ... I don't know why so many people think it looks "girly" wtf? To me it looks sporty. Please don't ever ruin it with a bodykit. Eyelids or a hood would look sweet though if you matched the paint to the body. When you're looking into the new mufflers, check out the borla xs. I got one and it sounds awesome. Very deep and lower tone. I don't have a full video uploaded yet, but here is just the idle. Hard to tell from the video cuz camera don't pick up deep tones much, but the tone is much lower but deeper at idle.
