Nice! I am so in love w/ '03-'05 ultra metallic silver cavys, which is why mine will be painted that color in the future!
Welcome to the org and nice cavy! Enjoy!

If you wanted to start modifying your looks first I would go with universal parts that are a lot cheaper then buying aftermarket parts like body kits and hoods. I suggest buying some hood scoops or some fender flares maybe even a roof scoop. These would be a easy mod and if your put some cash into your ride later then your don't have to worry about replacing them. If you don't have any ideas I can show you what I did to my 95 Sunfire hood. I did a large scoop in the middle with two small scoops that are meant to be used for the side of your body to act like brake scoops. You could just make them cosmetic or go all the way and make them active by cutting out the holes to allow air to flow through.
Hit me up for some more ideas like how to raise your stock hood to act like a crowl hood for the price of a few cents!!

Thanks David.

I'm trying to start a 'parts' pile but unfortunatly i took her out to a SCCA Driving Class on Saturday, which was ABS tests, drifting, slalom, Wet ABS, avoidence etc, and since then she really hates me. Brakes have been kinda iffy, she stopped and died in the middle of an intersection and is just being very tempramental!!!!!! So she is getting checked out today- i'm thinking Altanator or Battery.

Hood scoops sound good. I've been looking a few places for all sorts of stuff but i'm not sure of where to really look...any ideas?

Sooooo. My car sucks.
She was dying on me a few weeks back, got her tested and got her a new battery....now ONCE AGAIN she keeps dying on me and take 3/4 tries to get her started. But all the tests are coming back that nothing is wrong with the battery or alternator...ideas please?

Welcome!!! One- could be one of your censors(oxygen of feul) as i had the same problem and just replaced them both and... problem solved. Two- Dont supercharge. Turbo, for if you supercharge you cant make much of an adjustment but turbo charged, you can always HP Tune your car for higher horsepower and better overall performance. (a credit to tune usuallt cost about $100) And personally, for the 03+ cavi, the RK Sport body kit is by far the sexiest!!! Just tryimg to help. GIL-President of Lone Star GM's(DALLAS)

aside from all the body kit and boosting thoughts going on, as far as ur car not starting, have you changed plugs recently? how many miles on ur car? still on the stock coil packs? boots? ignition is where i'd b looking at this one. but i could b wrong.

btw welcome to the .org.
