The daily driver
Well I finally got my GM electrical oil pressure sensor in. Now time to save for a wideband...LOL Oh and installed my fogs..FINALLY!!!
Well Im disappointed because the first gauge install came out GREAT. I cut the 52mm hole in the dash and forced the 52mm boost gauge in the dash....fit was really tight but perfect. I bended in the ac duct behind it so it wont get pushed out.
This time around I made the next hole and went at it with a sander to let the gauge squeeze in a little better. Well WRONG! I should have not done that cause I forgot the ac duct pushes it back out
So time to hit the junkyard and try it again 
I didnt want the pillar gauges...LIKE EVERY OTHER CAR ON THE ROAD HAS. So im trying to be different I guess. ON WITH THE PICS!!!

Don't let Elmo drill the hole next time... That guy is always toasted and get's crap wrong.
Re: The daily driver
I love that cavalier, I'm guessing the bumpers are aftermarket? I like it, looks nice and clean and not super riced out with a giant wing lol.
What kind of rims? what size are they?
Also, nice beretta, GTZ?

Re: The daily driver
Thanks guys
Yeah elmo really scewd things up....lol
Bumpers are stock. Only thing aftermarket is the front lip and the sides. Car use to have a bodykit before.
As for the rims im not sure. They came with the car back when I bought it. I think I heard the name should be on the inside of the rim. They are 17s by the way.
Yeah thats a real 90 GTZ with a few goodies of its own.

Re: The daily driver
Nice cav. I like that lip. Kind of wonder what it would look like upside down... Might have to try something like that with my cav. As for the gauges, good idea. Now if you could make some sort of pod for them so they are angled over a bit for easier viewing. Clean up the look a little too.
Nice GTZ, too.

Re: The daily driver
I like the Cav. The lines of the car are still left intact, no over bloated body add ons, no 50 ft wing. Very tastefully done.
