Its a real carbon fiber trunk filler from rksport. I still have it installed. I got it to match the carbon fiber in the tail lights

It is dropped...on Eibach springs and KYB AGX's. However I can see the confusion as the OP posted old and new pics with a piss poor job of marking whats old and new. FYI it is standard when posting old pics with new to post the old first so others can see the car evolve so to speak.

I would loose all the stickers. Some cars pull off the roll call OK but yours is not one of them. Shocker stickers = Lame and played out

I do like the rims, suspension, headlights, talights and cf trunk peice.

I was given the name the shocker by some friends and i decided to run with it. I know the sticker is lame but im pretty new to the j scene and im learning as i go along. I didnt post old to new because this was my first post and i really didnt know what I was doing. Ill post more pics of the car soon so that i can show the complete effect of this car. when i said i havnt seen that many sunfires on here i meant the newer body styles and that was my fault because i should have clarified what i meant. I appreciate the comments and criticism and its all good because this is only the beginning for me.

hey clean looking sunfire man and yet another TEXAS BOY up in here woot woot. Check out your regional forum for shows/meets in your area

the actual hand gesture 'shocker' is ok but it should be placed somewhere else. just doesnt look right IMO where it currently is. but the wording 'the shocker' IMO is real tacky. if you want ppl to know ur nickname and have that inside joke get "SHOCKER" or "THSHCKR" for your license plate.

the 'roll call' stickers are ok but again, mis-placed. again.. IMO they should go with the very bottom of the 1/4 window, not the tint line.

LOVE the red/black, looks very good. really like the cf over the headlights to, ive never seen that before. good job. as for your rk sport cf panel matching your tails, nope.. sorry... the tails are fake cheapy carbon and i cant believe you would want to try and match them. real cf looks so much better.

Well guys the criticism is appreciated and im convinced now that the stickers throw everything off so tomorrow morning there all coming off. I guess its time to appreciate my car for what it is instead of making it tacky.

you put your window stickers on all crooked. take 'em off anyway, personally they're tacky, and take off the carmax sticker too. besides, no stickers unless you're sponsored. other than that, you've got a clean 'Fire on your hands.

Well j body org, i decided to take the advice of these obviously experienced j owners and it actually turned out better than i expected. I decided to get rid of all the stickers and gave the fire a bath. let me know if this looks better. obviously you will all say it looks way better but its all good i guess.


before I went to town with the razor blade


after the stickers were taken off and I washed her.


where the shocker hand used to be


no more roll call


Thats where it used to say "THE SHOCKER" to be honest im happy to be rid of it


quick shot of the voxx wheels, Eagle F1 tires and bar rotors.


This ones for you z yaaaa. I would have to be a complete idiot if i believed that ebay tails where real carbon fiber.
I got the rk sport CF trunk filler so the whole rear section would flow together. I appreciate the criticism but go sit on it.


The REAL CF eyelids. I plan to smoke out the turn signal lights and paint the vents next to them black to match the wheels


quick shot of the intake


another intake shot


and the vibrant strut tower bar

The part that plugs into the intake from the FPR is not included on AEM CAI. I had to unplug it and stick a filter inside the tubing. Im just happy I havnt gotten a CEL.

I actually saw that one before and it really made me want the exhaust system he has. I also am looking into getting those seats after I put a new suspension set up on the ecofire. Ive been trying to sell my exhaust but I cant find any takers. Im just gonna take it a day at a time. Ive been trying to contact that guy for some advice on how to get the same exhaust set up for my car.
