New guy on the J Block

Whats up,

My name is Derrek and I own a 2004 Chevy Cavalier Base Model 4 door 5speed!. bought it in Feb with 58,000 miles for 4600.00

Car came with after market cruise and the Sport alloy wheels. what else more could you need right?

Mods I have done, Removed all badges and the door moldings they were turning like a yellow or faded look so they are gone.

I would like to know, I'm going to be nightshading my taillights and i'm looking at the nuts and bolts and there all plastic? if i take them all off how do I secure the taillights back on? any help would be great.

I'm getting the windows tinted next week. I also added M3 style mirrors but havent hooked up the turn signals for them yet donno if I want to or not.

After that I'm not sure what I will do next. I would like to lower it or maybe paint my wheels a bronze color.

Its good to know there are other cav fans out there to help each other, thanks for havin me on your website I hope to learn alot!

I just didn't want to take them off and have an issue, they just looked glued on, and the tips on the bolts are red, never seen this before on a car, my impala its all metal.

K so unscrew them and screw them back on check. I'll give it a shot this weekend. I'm gonna go all black!

The tails have plastic studs and a goofy nut that cuts threads into the stud when it's spun on.

M3 mirrors look like hell in my opinion. OEMs look soo much better. Other than that, nice pick up and welcome to the .org!
