In April of 2003, with all the discounts, I decided to sell the old Bonnie, and I bought a Cavalier LS Sport (which is called a Z24 still in Cananda). This picture is not of my car, but of what it looked like stock.

First thing I did was modify the rear end. I do find it funny that the 2004 came with a rear close to mine, but in gold.

Next thing I did was tint the windows with 20% all the way arround to make the car completely black.

A very common question on the board, how do you make the GLOW guages light up only at night. This is the key, use this brown wire as your power source. I got my glow guages off of eBay.

Here is a picture of my system. Alpine 2003 CDA-7897 Head Unit (with XM add on), Alpine MRC-F450 5 channel Amp, Infinity Kappa 462.5cfp 2 way 4x6 speaker (doors), Infinity Kappa 693.5i 3 way 6x9 speaker w/ computer Crossover (rear deck), Infinity Kappa Perfect 10.1 10 inch sub (trunk), 1 far digital cap (mounted in trunk), 4 guage wiring (+ and -) and the Alpine Mobile Hub for my Nokia 6310i phone. The XM antenea is in the rear deck, and it works fine. My cell phone antenea is inside the car also.

I mounted the amp on the back of the bigger back seat. I can fold the seat down and adjust the amp.

I mounted the cap by placing a piece of wood behind the carpet and drilling into it. Notice the 4 guage wiring!

I mounted the fues on the air box, but I will move it when I install my AEM CAI.

To mount the 4 guage wiring to the battery, I went to Pepboys and purchased a new batter connector. It has a 3/4 bolt to the battery, and 9/16 bolt into it. I have one on body + and -. Important thing everyone misses, if you have 4 guage leaving the battery, you have to upgrade the wiring returning to the battery to the same guage!!!

Next thing I did was remove the rear lights that sold on eBay nicely.

Here a picture of the 3 peice RK Sport C/F rear installed.

And then with my TYC lights.

I wanted to keep the round tail lights. After the eBay sell, I actully broke even, and now I just have a 2002 rear, but I still have the 2003 headlights and grill.

Here is a picture of the AEM CAI installed. I had to put two clamps in the throttle body due to a bad design from AEM. I also was not happy with the sponge for the fuel filter.

Here is the picture of how low the AEM sits in the wheel well.

Does any one know what those three boxes are in my lower front grill? Laser Shifters, don't leave home with out them!

Here is a picture of my car at night, with no flash. You can see the traditional Alpine look, even on the expanded face. The Palm M515 is mounted for GPS, and the Escort Passport SRX display is mounted nicely displays VOLTS when no rader or laser contacts are detected.

When I put the flash on, you can see how the GPS looks. It is mounted at perfect angle to the driver. You can also see how small and concealed the Escort Passport SRX display is. The mute button is mounted below the window controls in the center dash.

Ans here is a picture of my car down at my grandma's house in Cocoa Beach. Love the Green grass in Central Florida in Janurary. It was a balming 78 degrees, wow.

Until the next update.
