2005 Cavalier convertible
Tuesday, August 09, 2005 2:26 PM
I was just thinking about doing something unqiue later in life when I get more money. I'm gonna buy a 2000 Convertible and switch all the things in it to make it look like a 2005 Cavalier. I'm thinking that the light bar in the back would look good on the convertible.

Lets see what I would need:
hood
lights
front bumper
rear bumper
trunk
rims
steering wheel

What does everyone think? would this look good? anybody interested in a photoshop?

well you wouldnt need the trunk unless you wanted to swap to the 03+ spoiler and didnt feel like drilling and filling holes. you can use the tail lights on all 3rd gen cavs just cut off the extra mounts on the tails i did it on my car

I've seen it done before, it does look different, if you're a J-body enthusiast. To anyone else, it's just another Cavalier..

It will probably cost you a bunch of money to do it, and in the end, be worth the same as it was before the swap (if not less).

Unless you're really hooked on the 03-05 appearance... why bother?

Droptoppaul did that with his 98 Sunflower. Now it has the 03-05 Sunflower front end and tails and it looks bad@ss.
