On this page: Images of my 1998 Chevrolet Z24, purchased new in May, 1998 from the Paramus Auto Mall, in Paramus, NJ.
This was my daily driver and commuter car, and as such didn't hide from bad weather. I sold this in October 2004 to make way for the Goat

Here are some pics taken just before I sold the car - I had shaved off the side trim because of bad scratches. Must have used half a bottle of Goo-Gone and rubbed my thumbs off to do it... LOL
The car was lowered 1.5" on Eibach ProKit springs, and runs on 17" ADR rims with Continental ContiSport Contact 215/45R17's. In the winter, I ran 205/55R16 Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22's on the stock 16" rims
These are pics of my Cavalier as it sat in the rain. You can see the Altezza CF taillights as well as a glimpse of the Magnaflow exhaust. I also had Sylvania SilverStar lamps in clear headlight clusters.
A shot of the interior...
This included a 2002 center console, shortened shifter, and RKSport '99 model white-faced gauges. The needles were painted red to match the gauges.
A pic of the engine bay, with the custom WAI, painted IDI cover, RSM 62mm TB and GM stock shock tower brace

A closer look at some of my other upgrades:
This is a detailed shot comparing the RSM ported vs. GM stock throttle body. (RSM on left)
Another comparison shot between crankshaft balancer/accessory pullies, and a shot with the pulley in place.
A shot with the RKSport upper motor mount insert in place. I was able to get it in with ALOT of soap and elbow grease.
My subframe brace in place, just after installation. This was a pain to install 'cause I only had a wimpy cordless drill to make the mounting holes
A pic of the EGR blocker plate I had
Here's a shot of the tip of my Magnaflow Muffler, part of the RKSport single-cat-back system. The dumb tongue welded onto the muffler that hangs it broke and now it's held up with clamps. I also needed to trim the bumper to allow the muffler to clear. The car was dropped 1 1/2 inches, so I needed all the clearance I can get...
I also added Performance Friction CF pads and Powerslot Rotors up front. Made for a nicer feel on braking, though I never measured the distance improvement. The rotors were heavily rusted when I sold the car, though.

A few pics of the interior:
My gauge cluster being put together, with the stock one on the left and the new faces on the right. I had also looked for white-face indicator light panels for later... but I never did get them installed
A shot of my tweeter... Not that I was ever looking for the ultimate in sound. I just wanted the sound stage up by my chest, as opposed to down by my knees...

A close-up shot of my taillights, with their carbon-fiber look detail.
A close-up of my headlights; a set of crystal-clear lens units - I also added clear corner lenses to go with them.
