i have a 97 cavalier 2.2 base and wanted to put the z24 bumpers on my car. i looked at the sticky but wasnt sure if that meant for sub models. can you do it and if so, what would i have to do for it to work. thanks
if you are wanting to do a 05-99 Z24 then you just need the Z24 bumpers and side skirts thats it, now if you want to do the 2000 Z24 then you need bumpers, sideskirts and I believe you have to get rid of your turn signal branket that is apart of your fender. I believe!!
96 CAVALIER Z24 UNDER CONSTRUCTION
All you need are the clips for the skirts. You can find those at the dealer or at the yard if that is where you get your skirts from. I think it is about 8 per side. You might also need to get new splash shields. That is if you want it to look like it is really a z24. Or just rig up the base splash shields. Pretty sure that there is a differance in the 2.
The bumpers will bolt on the same way your stock ones do so no need to get new brackets for them or anything. All this info is for a 96 style of z24 kit.
If you wanna do the LS style of bumper then you will need to do baisically the same stuff. But the headlights are different so you will have to convert to the 2000 style lights. Those require you to cut off the brackets on your fenders for the lights.
So in conclusion if you have the bumpers and skirts right now. There is nothing that can stop you from just bolting them on. Clips for the skirts are the only thing I would get before putting them on only because it would be easier to put on before you put the skirt on and you would not want them to sag.
thanks and how about the rear bumper and where would i find one at cuz i cant happen to find one anywhere
Rear bumper should just swap on. On were to find one? I think
http://www.carpart.com can get it for you. Or check ebay. Maybe in the classifieds also. Good luck with it.
hey thanks man any other suggestions for my cav
Oh I'm full of suggestions lol but you know it's your car. You gotta make it your own. If you really wanna go all out you should get the z24 molding as well. The one that is on the quarter panel that says z24. I don't know if the one on the door is different from the one on the base model though.
^^^yeah, it is. it goes from like an inch and a quarter from the front to like two and three quarter in the rear. kinda
what about the spoiler? are you gettin' that as well?

yea i know, there isnt any z24s in our junkyards either.... i want the spoiler but is it different from the other cav models i havent really looked at that yet
yah ...i want to a yard today and the best i could do was z24 rear's the front we all smashed up hense the reason they were there so it kinda sucked u'd have to be lucky to get a z24 in thats not smashed up...but i am getting the whole kit off someone in my area for 150$ tomorrow anyway so i am lucky
are the wings easy to find?
Depends on what year. I have the 96 style wich I don't think is that hard to find. I think the 2000 up style is harder to find.
I have the 96 style for sale. And I also have the moldings if you can't find them we can work something out.
yea man cool i appreciate that
