My Winter Project (lots of Pics)
Wednesday, June 13, 2007 8:56 PM
Over the winter I decided to do my car up and make it into something that i could be proud of instead of a stock Sunfire. This is my first car I've done and i think it came out pretty good. Everyone that has seen it so far like it alot, mostly because of the blue. This is what i come up with. I've had it out of the paint booth now for about a week and im slowly starting to put it back together and get the little things fixed. and Yes i did everything myself including painting it.

Beginning of winter this is what it looked like.



After everything was said and done.









These are the rims i got for it, need to buy tires for the other 2 yet.


List of mods i did over the winter if someone wants to know are:
Class Glass Performance Turbo Sport Hood
Wings West Front Lip
Type-J side skirts
RK Sport Streetfire rear
Shave handles, locks, antenna, wing, inside of the door jams, and gas door
Sparco Fuel Door mounted on top of quarter panel
painted 2 tone with Viper Blue Pearl and Granada Black Mica

I know i know it needs lowered badly. Next week im getting Koni Reds and Ground control coilovers for her and the rims will be on so it will look 100% better.

I dislike:
  • The hood design
  • fenders
  • tails
  • lack of door piece for the skirts


Everything else is kosher, nice job, man.

i like it, especially what you did with the gas door. its original and i think your fire pulls it off well. those tails don't look good on any fire, i think a set of stock tails that are tinted with nightshades would look a heck of a lot better.

keep up the good work

i like it overall but i would change 2 things. the location of the gas cap and the line for the 2 tone. the black should of carried a little more to the front of the car imo

yeah i agree.. whats up with the line near the mirrors, that just doesnt look right at all, it needed to come down and be straight, although i hate how this is done as theres no body line to make it look good right there, but it would look better than would you did.

i do give you props on the car, you've done one hell of a job, the paint looks really good. i love that front lip-never seen it before, it is the sex for sure.

i agree with everybody about the tails, they gotta go man, your car is to sexy for those riced out lookin POS tails.

i actually like the hood... lol good job man.
