I eventually wanna make cowl hood and bondo in my sideskirts to give more fiberglass look from distant u cant tell they are wood. After all mods are complete I would like to get proffessional paintjob but until them im happy with what I achieved. cheap work car with good gas mileage and it turns heads. post comments and opinions. Questions welcomed. My friends hate spoiler but regardless of everyone i know telling me to take it off i like it

Not a bad setup. Too flashy for me, but thats my taste.

Check craigslist for wheels and tires next time, you can find them for half what you spent.

yea i knew that I just was afraid of getting scammed or the rims not fitting right. My neighbor bought rims off ebay and the hub rings werent right so it made his car ride like crap and it took couple weeks to get right ones shipped so i figured i would just take it in and let them worry about it all. But yeah couldve saved alot

Car isn't quality? Cheer up man haha. The detailing on the side is cool.

Thanks that was first thing I did to the car. I got the graphic from advance auto it was a solid line mimicked after the graphic chargers come with and some avengers so I randomly chopped the decal up and it made it easier to apply working with a bunch of smaller pieces rather than a continuos stripe. Im not bummed about car at all im just explaining that I went cheap routeto obtain a look and wanted to be honest that until I bondo my mods sand paint its not as good quality as it could be. But I am very happy with how it turned out.

get rid of the lumber it makes the car look cheap. Not trying be mean. And repaint or have a pro repaint the hood back to its OE color and the white stripe is a sticker? kill it it does not fit.

Attachment 5786 any reason you went with tractor paint, as opposed to some kind of paint substitute like I did with my black plastidip?

Attachment 5791you had such a great idea i did this to my lil girls car SHE LOVES IT!

Now, now, while I don't necessarily agree with his mods either, no need to get mean lol, unless you're serious?

The car is somewhat okay. I dont think hes gonna redo everything after doing all that. If you wanna make it look good just follow these suggestions i am about to give:

1. Lower the car with some lowering springs and get KYB shocks and struts.

aveo springs | eBay

2. Take off the badges on the front and back of the car. For the front, you need to unscrew the grille and unscrew the badge portion from the mesh. The back, you can use a hairdryer to heat up the glue on the badges and pull them off. If there is any left over residue, use goo gone or some other goo remover.

3. Please remove that superman logo. It looks very tacky :P

Props on being original. Ignore the haters.
