When I first got the car in May of 2003 (minus seat covers):
...
...

First mod: Shaved badges and molding:
...

Next mod: Neons:
...

Afterwards: Dug up a Chevy Cavalier body kit:
...

Then I got the Cavalier tails to put my license plate somewhere:
...
...

Then, an akward phase where it seemed like the car never looked right:
...

Problem solved!:
...

Then I redid the interior to match the impending color scheme:
...

After a much-too-long wait, paint came!:
...
...

Things were lookin bad after we had issues with the clear coat:
...
But it was soon fixed!

Then the neons were put back on!:
...

And, Saturday, August 20th, another setback for the Sunbird Z24...
...
...

Insurance called it totalled, said it was $1800 or more to repair the car...well....$250 later, the car is drivable yet again!
...
...

And, with the money the insurance company gave me, I have put some new seats in the car, and am finishing up the car to be the way I always wanted it to be!
...

November last year I finally got 30% window tint all the way around!
...
...

And thats all Ive done so far. Plans now are for an engine swap soon (2.0 4 banger leaving for a 3.1 V6)

Looks like a good car there Ridge, you have done a bunch of nice things to it.  Do you have a car domain page?  If you do, send me the link and I'll add you to my friends list.
