Painted and assembled *PICS*
 
Well I went home this weekend after painting the car over labor day to put it back together. The pics are a little dark because I finished just before sunset.

I realize not all of you like this sort of thing but I had no choice to do something with the sunifre... ultimate goal was making it look nothing like a sunfire which I feel I accomplished. All the work was done by myself and it was the project of my whole summer.

Now I can start on my turbo kit soon.

Well enjoy

You're right man, it's not my cup of tea, but it looks like you did a really nice job on it. I can appreciate hard work even if the finished product isn't my taste. Nice work. I want to see what your turbo setup turns out like. Don't foget to take lots of pics of that so Jeff can add it to the tech.

All you need now is a huge intercooler in that big mouth.Nice paint job.

Good job. I can always appreciate hard work done by an individual. Anyone can slap money down at a paint shop, but it takes dedication to do it in your garage. 8)
We dont have alot of sunfires here in Ca. so I wasn't sure what kind of car that was. If I had to guess without knowing, I'd call it a tiburon. ???

Looks good, this may sound kinda dumb, but since your car is really going for appearence, you may want to throw on some bigger rims to fill in the wheel well.

Unfortunately, cars like yours are all to common around here (I'm about 35 minutes away from the GM Lordstown assembly plant, J-bodies like the Cavs and Sunfires are all too common.)

Not bad. Looks like the paint turned out ok. Plus, you own a Matco box, so you're cool anyway.

Jeff,

What you said does make sense. I do like the look of bigger wheels but those are already 17's. I think 18's are just too much rotating mass becuase I am still concerend about performance. I plan to drop the car 1.5 inches yet when i get some cash, that will help with the wheelgap.

As for everyone saying filling the front...look at my avatar. I already have a custom coach intercooler. I should have it turbocharged hopefully very soon. :)

I'd like to have a mix of both performance and appearance. My background just allows me to do the appearance a little more than anything

i think it looks good and i usually hate bodykits.. your whole car flows together not like a curvy ass bodykit on a box lookin crx. you will get mad ----- with that ride, just put a ferrari emblem on the front and you will have to beat the chicks off with a stick.

Paint looks clean. Good work

Yep, I don't think I'd know it was a Sunfire if I saw it driving down the road. Can't wait to see the turbo project on it.
