purple92ss's 1997 Chevrolet Cavalier

Exterior Mods:

Well the mods slowly began with wheels. My wife wanted Focal F5's on it. Well we didn't have enough money for the F5's in chrome at the time so I bought the Silver painted F5's in 18" format. Well At the time I was also playing a game on the Focal Web site called "FocalJack" It was a blackjack game, that you played for money online. Well at the end of each quarter, they picked 1 person out of the top ten to win a free set of rims of their choice. I was lucky enough a week after we had bought the silver F5's to get a call stating that I was in 7th place, and thus have won a set of rims of my choice. I chose F5's in Chrome and 18". They came a week later, and I sold my silvers to Jeff(a buddy who was stationed in Hawaii) We used the money for the sale of the silver wheels to buy tires and the rest is history!

Me with the free wheels:

The center caps on the rims are evidently a special edition because they are Carbon fiber with black surrounding the word FOCAL instead of yellow. So I took a photo of that too.

This is a photo with just the wheels and alteza style lights on the car, as well as clear corner markers.

Currently the car has these wheels on it, with Kumho Supra Tires.

Now Bodywork Beginspurple92ss's 1997 Chevrolet Cavalier

Next up we decided to work on the overall body of the car. First as I mentioned above we put Altezza Style Tail Lights on it, and Clear turn signal lights and clear bumper marker lights as well.

Another shot of the front with the clear lamps, along with a side marker lamp that I installed to give it that JDM feelpurple92ss's 1997 Chevrolet Cavalier

As you can probably tell with the photos above, We did decide to kit the car. We Opted for the JDM BOMEX body kit. It was very rare, in fact I would say we were the first in South Carolina to have it. Now, however, I've seen numerous of them around.

The Car with the Kit on in the driveway:

We did decide to dress up the night lighting too, by adding a undercar neon kit in red. Sorry the night photos don't usually turn out too well.purple92ss's 1997 Chevrolet Cavalier

This is the car at another show, and as you can see its big brother is in the background in all its glory!
