which direction to go...
Tuesday, January 04, 2011 1:17 PM
Well guys I've had my car looking basically the same way since I got it in 04

Day 1


Last year before my lowering kit






Well, Its time for something different this year. I will be selling off the gt rims, and probably be picking up some z24 skirts within a week or so and hopefully an LS Rear bumper. I will be rocking steelies for a while as its still winter, but once schools done (going for 2 months of trade school starting on the 10th) I will be on the hunt for some new rims. Any ideas? The next thing is to get rid of this frickin ugly assed SS hood for a nice cf evo hood (shows off the supercharger really nice from what I have heard).

The things im unsure about are getting rid of the wing and going for either a clean spoilerless look, or putting a different spoiler on (NO STOCK WINGS)... perhaps maybe just a cf trunk to match the cf evo hood.

I was also going to paint my mirrors and door handles to match the car... any input or other ideas would be awesome

My suggestions:

Remove all graphics
Remove the UGLY sideskirts
Remove the wing
Acquire, paint and install a LS Sport kit..

Done.

Hence why I need a change lol

Decals and all that are coming off tonight

Also how much do you guys figure I could see the hood for? The paint is rough at the front from rock chips

Yes!

and paint door handles and mirrors. Iv never been a fan of those wheels to begin with so im glad your ditching them. I think some gunmetal color 5 spoke wheels would look tits with the other changes

I would say replace the kit with either a wings west w-type kit or wings west bigmouth. You could keep the wing and just remove the graphics.

Everything's been done before. Get over it. The car is not easy on the eyes. Get rid of anything Sunfire related and that wing. New wheels and suspension will do wonders.

In all honesty...


WW front lip with Z sides and LSS rear.

Leave the bumper grills black. Always loved that look.

Slam it hard on those sunfire wheels with the right size tire but powercoat the rims a nice color.

I think a set of "chrome" LSS wheels with a smaller tire size would go really well with that combo.

Evo hood + WW kit with your current spoiler would look pretty good IMO. One other thing that bothers me is a lack of paint matched door handles.

might aswell put a vtec head on it too

Just a question about the wings west lip kit, I know scott is selling one (or he was at one point).
No one ever gave me an answer if it was just a lip or if it was the whole bumper.

This car is Rice.

Lower it
Remove the graphic on the hood
Remove whatever that bar thing in between your tail lights
New rims
Remove that side skirt bunch of lines mess you have
That wing I wouldn't have let near my car! Remove it.
IMO if the hood scoop isn't functional then get rid of it.
