Just picked up the car on Sat. I have been looking for a while at replacing my 2003 Chevy Cavalier LS Sport Coupe now that I have a real job and want to look a little more professional.

Got a great deal on my 06 G35x coming off a 1 owner lease with 24k miles.

About me:
Live in Minnesota, grew up in Iowa, went to the U of Iowa and then moved to Kansas City, MO for a year out of school. Moved to the cities when my wife and I were going to get married and have been here for a year. I used to drive a 2003 Cavalier heavily modified as it used to be a show car that I traveled with all of the time. I did not drive it much during college or when I lived in KC since I traveled by the week so it kept nice and clean for shows, now that I drive more, it started to show signs of daily use.

The little I have driven the car so far, I love it to death already. I will be doing some tasteful mods but nothing too drastic. I debate adding a spoiler, but will probably not end up doing that. In time I hope to add a double din gps Head unit, but it appears it requires a lot more work that I initially thought, always up for a challenge though! The car was already tinted when I purchased it. I will probably be replacing the lighting inside including switches and gauges to blue as I have pretty good soldering skills and am always up for projects like that.

I previously did a complete projector/hid retrofit in my cavalier and loved it to death, so that is also high on my list of things to do. Rims are a possibility, but I am extremely picky so I will have to find the right set.

Looking forward to gathering knowledge on these boards and hopefully build up the sedan/my name on the boards by contributing to the community.

 

Congrats, enjoy your new ride.

 

Congratulations and welcome to the site.

 

PICSS welcome.. search the picture threads for ideas on mods.. theres a wheel thread i think that you can probably find a set you may like

 

"Live in Minnesota, grew up in Iowa" What part of Iowa? I lived there my entire life untill i joined the Army. I grew up in a small town in northeren Iowa called Lake Mills. Its about 5 miles from the boarder.

 

I grew up in Central City, just north of Cedar Rapids, East of Center Point.

My wife is from Mason City so I know right where that is!

 

Hope to get some pics tonight, I am already putting together my parts list for the headlights, and told the wife I want a good soldering iron for xmas so I can tackle the interior leds...

 

Welcome blk, nice choice.

 

Pics as promised, mods to come shortly:

 

Nice, and welcome! I know you will enjoy your new ride!
