Do to your car what you want.
I have pretty much the same wing on my car but its not black; just the ends are; my car is alos a 4-door fire,98.
Your car is looking good with the rims.
I would color match the handles, mirrors, tint the windows, lower it; debadge your car, get the ww front lip, headlight bulbs, clear bumper lenses; 4-2-1 header, hood etc.... to start,lol
Looks good and i love the wing; probaly cause i have one, but if you like it keep it; 99% of the people will say loose it, lol oh well cant please everyone.....

thanks for all the opinions.
I like the render with the lowering. the wing i think im going to keep. i was looking around and noticed the front lip that someone had and i'm loving that. possibly with some sides and a different rear bumper? keep the ideas coming. oh and btw yes i have a few minor body issues that im going to tackle very soon.( the fenders and some touching up of the paint)

well after heavy thinking and different options that i have at the moment this is what i came down to decide for the vehicle:

Blitz front bumper
BC2 Side skirts
BMX Rear Bumper
F-1 Front fenders
20% Tinting on the windows
Getting the Rims Painted a gun metal with the chrome lip
painting the door handles(thanks for the idea guys)
Invader hood with "evil eyes"
Cavalier carbon fiber tails

That's the idea for the exterior. after that i can start on the interior. i plan on having all this done in the next few months if everything goes right.

ok im gonna give u my opinion on ur list here. Blitz is probably one of the worst fronts on cavs and most sunfires.. very few can pull it off as ive only seen it a couple times. Personally if i were you i might look into bomex front. i think it fits the sunfire better then the blitz.

Now, Bomex rear, definatly a no. have you seen it on a 4dr sunfire or cav? cuz it sticks out literally like a foot away from the car. it looks hidieous. Unless u plan to advertise companys on ur trunk and make it like the city benches. If your going with BC2 sides u might wanna stick with BC2 rear or KMAX rear(both listed most likely under 2dr cavaliers but the rear bumper will fit since urs is a 4dr)

The sides are a good choice, there nice sides for sure,

the fenders are kinda hard to say. ive seen them on a sunfire in person and i loved em, it just depends on the car which u wont really know how'll theyll look till u put em on.

20% tint is a good percent, its practical but still dark. what i plan on gettin in % too

Invader hood is def a good choice, esp with the eyelids.

cavalier carbon fiber tails, if ur not gettin anything else carbon fiber dont get these(if u get other things in c/f also, still dont get these cuz they wont match that at all..) u dont want ur only bit of carbon fiber to be fake carbon fiber taillights. You can get some just like that in black, my buddy jeff has em in black and i actually like em quite a bit, but then another friend has em in c/f, they look good but i couldnt put them on my car personally.. and o. dont get those chrome ones, they look cheap and are overly done.


overall not a bad list, the front and rear your not going to get alot of love for, if u do them, on this site.

Now to the first part of the post, you said ur keeping the wing, thats fine to me personally but i would modify it. because a foot off the trunk looks cheap and like @!#$ honestly. Anyone can go to auto zone and buy one. to be able to make yours look good, ur gonna have to modify it. those "legs" on the spoiler, that hold it up that foot off the trunk.. cut those down some, the ONLY aluminum wings that look good on cars are the ones sitting real close to the body or trunk.. ive seen a few people pull off aluminum wings and shock me cuz they look good, but they were also only bout 1-4" off the trunk. That to me personally is the only way u can make it look good so id look into to doing that if i were u.

but it is ur car ur money, so ultimatly you do have the deciding decision, me and anyone else can tell u all we want its ugly, but if u like it go for it. Everyone's taste is different, so even if you do what uve all said, dont be expecting everyone on here to be in love with your car.. if your building your car for others i suggest u stop right now. i just wanted to end with that, i gave u my opinions. do with it what u want.

good luck

After further review, Manta Z's comments made me realize how bad of moves i was making and my decisions weren't all i thought them up to be in the first place.

That opinion is what i guess i was looking for all along from someone. With that said i figured i should just go with a more practical approach and this might be the smarter and more efficient way of doing things.

Here is my new upgrade sheet:

20% tint (love it)
lower the car
BC2 Sides and Rear
A simple front lip?( if anyone knows where there maybe one available please let me know)
Painted Rims
painted door handles
invader hood
Lowered Wing( I found out i can lower this about 3 inches which should make a better outcome)
Black Cav Tails( didn't even notice they had black ones, lol@myself)
upgraded headlights from izn
F-1 Front fenders

I think this setup is a bit more decent. I guess i honestly can say im human and couldnt see past my own lame thoughts. I guess from not seeing it on an actual car i couldnt tell which could be right for it.

Thanks Again everyone, and a Very special thanks to you Manta Z.
