2000 - 2002 Sunfire GT with real evil eyes!

I've always thought the '03-'05 front ends were just too weird looking. Plus an '03-'05 conversion would require a lot more parts (money) and you would need to modify the headlight harnesses since the '03-'05s have a two bulb setup, unlike the single bulb setup of the '95-'02 Sunfires. Just a couple things to think about .

Another good looking, easy swap would be '95-'99 Sunfire GT. That front looks really good with real evil eyes too.

what do you mean "real" evil eyes? like where they are welded onto the hood and smoothed out so they look factory? on my old sunfire i had those bolt on ones, but i cant find them anymore.

I hope you are referring to the '95-'99 SE because the '95-'99 GT is sexy as hell:

Yes; real = welded to the hood, not stick on eBay ones!

I couldn't agree more! Here's a front end shot of my former '02 Sunfire GT:



Unfortunately I sold it before I was able to get evil eyelids welded to the hood . That would have been the ultimate Sunfire front end in my opinion!

that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra

Mold the center grill/vent section from an 00-02 onto a 95-99 GT.
Win.

If you like the '00-'02 GT than do it! Ultimately you have to decide for yourself because it's your car. Obviously everyone on here has their own opinion, but you're going to be the one looking at it everyday .

Just remember what I said... the '00-'02 GT will be the easiest and cheapest swap because you will only need the bumper cover, crush guard, wheel well liner extentions, fog light housings and wiring and a switch for the fog lights.

If you do the '03-'05, you will need headlights, parking lights, grilles, bumper cover, crush guard, wheel well liner extensions, a hood, fenders (I think?), fog light housings and wiring and a switch for the fog lights. Plus you will need to re-wire the headlights to accomodate the two bulb setup.

If you did the '00-'02 GT swap, you would spend a lot less money which means when you had the bumper cover painted, you could get the real evil eyelids welded to the hood at the same time!

Just my $.02 though.
