As some of you may remember in my previous thread I had pics with my entire mirrors painted white, well now I painted the sails black and must admit it looks better. Espcially with the door visors and windshield vinyl strip taken off. This link has the pics ----->

Be sure the check back under the "interior threads" because within the next 3 days Ill be posting my interior photos soon. Work and college takes up a lot of my time but Ill try to post them soon!
not too bad, i really dig the kit, its unique, the mirrors definately look way better now, good work

Yeah that looks a lot cleaner. I would say the next step is to debadge the trunk. It would look better without the side moldings but I understand them being there, they have saved my doors many times in a college parking lot.
looks good i also like your kit
Sig thanks to bxmobkrazey on gmscf.com
Quickly becoming my favorite white cavy...

My thoughts exactly NaviCavy! Debadging the trunk is indeed my next step along with putting Cavalier style door guards.

Thanks Josh. I dont have any more plans for it yet except finishing the interior. Maybe with the interior done it'll be your fav white Cavy! Lol J/k Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for posting them here Shaggy! How do I just post the photos and not the link?
I'm really not feeling that front. it flares out at the bottom, has a body line molded in that doesn't match anything on the car, those turn signal cut outs are deep as hell, and it appears to fit like garbage.... ick.
But if you are in love with the bumper, then my only other advice would be to remove those side moldings. What kind of car did those even come off?
On the other hand....you have other fingers.
Some say he invented November.
im liking most of the car. the kit, i cant figure out why but i like it lol. i think the way to tie it in the best would be an aftermarket hood, the bottom looks busy, the top looks timid. id also say lose the pin striping and call it good.

I can agree with you on the flare at the bottom. Its the only thing I dont like about my bumper but other than that I do love my bumper and definitely love my Cavy! As for the cut outs, they were supposed to come with the light covers but didnt and yes I was rather pissed about that because it didnt state that the bumper doesnt come with them. Dont you hate false advertisement? Like I posted in my last thread, Im switching to the import fighter front bumper soon. Ive gotten good comments so far from the kind respectful people here on the org on my front bumper alone and on my Cavy so your rudeness will simply be brushed aside. Have a nice day.

Thats true builtnboosted, I have thought about an aftermarket hood but Im focusing a little more on the performance than the body now. Im leaving the exterior the way it is aside from the import fighter bumper Im planning to get. I need to add on more to just my exhaust, intake and headers. Thanks for the opinion! Lets just be glad I have a clean exterior, a touch of performance and havent cheaped out with stick on hood scoops! Lol
molding has to go. fogs have to go. mesh needs to be black! your getting there man! love the mirrors now tho!

Thanks redbadged! Im going to switch to clear foglights and keep the halos on them so they flow more with the car color, the mesh will also be applied behind the foglights. Personally, Ive never seen a Cavy with the halo set up like my car which is why I did it. Why be like everyone and not be different? And as for molding Im going to see how the import fighter bumper looks since its a rather clean bumper because the molding is only here temporarily to help balance out with the front bumper. Black mesh sounds good, I might try it.
i have some bumper marker lights for blinkers out of my 02 eclipse... they look like they might work with your front bumper. just an idea, really digging the car tho
Import fighter is a good cover. I like mine.
Car looks good tho!
so looking at your bumper some more. i think u should go w/ these side moldings instead:
those are just adhesived on! w/ how ur front bumper is on the sides like that. it looks exactlly like a neon front!
WiGM-Tuners member.
agreed on side moldings if you must have some to flow with the front bumper.
and my last reply wasn't just me being rude. You posted pics, I gave my honest opinion on that front bumper. Too much trying to go on.
On the other hand....you have other fingers.

Well guys as I had posted earlier, I was planning on getting the Import Fighter bumper for the front but I found a perfect condition 1997 Z24 bumper earlier today for only $70! Its clean and just needs to be painted to match my car. Ill spend the $600 that was for the IF bumper on performance instead. I sense a turbo kit in my near future!
It's not going to line up, I've got pics with my Drift sides to prove it lol
Anyway, nice pics, love the custom headlights.
