Cavy '03 - After Paint Shop
Wednesday, January 23, 2008 3:13 PM
Hello Guys,

Just got my cavy back from the paint shop
Painted the front bumper that had couple of scraches, the rear bumper had an old sticker , the left fender was losing the paint and decided to paint the mirrors






What you guys think?

Regarding the handles not yet they were quoted a little bit more than expected.

The body kit is stock since is hard to find a pretty body kit for the 4D

I'm sorry didn't understand your post.
When i mean stock body kit i mean the front and read bumper and skirts if any that come with the car from the factory.

I really like how the car looks specially the front of the car

By stock body kit he's referring to the ls sport lip kit which would look amazing on your car.



I had something really funny to put here but it was too long.

the 03+ ls sport bumpers are the whole piece, not just a lip kit like to 02's were.

just browse through some of the member's profiles...

clean is good... it means that it's not overdone or tacky. just simple and tasteful.

Looks good but it would look even better with the ls kit as already mentioned and the door handles painted.

The reason my "body shop guy" told me that painting the handles on a J-Body is expensive, he says that they need to remove them to be done correctly, and that alot of the time removeing the handles they get broke and have to get new ones. He said they are rivited on. So ture or not, that is what I was told.


I like the look of your car, and installing some LS Sport bumpers and side skirts would look VERY nice. Might not be cost effective since you just got it painted but they look nice.


Here is a pic of my 03' LS sport Sedan



BTW, I like you wheels.

ah ok the LS KIT are those little lips in the front and rear bumper...can they be purchased and attached to the original bumper?

because as you mention James(Juicy J) will be a pain to purchase the whole kit since i just painted the bumpers.

Very nice. If you are thinking of just a lip kit, might consider the RK Sport one. Very similar to the LS Sport, but it is just a lip kit, not whole bumpers.

Front:


Rear:


4-door sides:

Liked those lips that you mentioned Quiklilcav , will take a look on them.

Thanks for the help Khanduras didn't paid attention to the previous post.

Beside that a question to you guys..

What you think it will be more interesting.

A) Spending 500-800 in the new lips/paint/installation and door handles
B) Spending 600-900 new interior
C) Spending 500-600 new wheels

Let me know

I'd definitely say go with the lips and get them painted up all nice and pretty..it would look pretty damn good with the ls bumpers..

you are right they are rivited on and not easy to take off, so im guessing ill be doing what everyone else has and just tape off the door and prep and spray the handles right quick...BTW love the sedan

You already have good looking wheels on it, so I'd say kit it now.
