Ok, so here is one of mycomming future mods.. projectors, either way is going to be custom made. And I dont have ALL info on both of them yet, but what do you think would be best

A - would only be a single 3.5 inch projector, with the housing painted black similar to this:

B - I believe would be run dual projectors as similar, I am not sure how my turn signal bulbs would be incorperated into this. Black housing as well.

I believe both will use H4 bulbs, and for the projectors itself... does anyone know if there are projectors you SHOULDNT use HIDs with. That will come shortly after the projectors,

A - may only be able to use the front part/lens of the projector, depending on how much clearance I get when installed.

B - believe it uses the whole projector rear as well.

I am semi torn, personally I think i like b-s exterior a little better myself, but cant quite picture it how it would flow with the turn signals in there.

I've gotta vote "A" jeff.

You'll have to let me see what it looks like whichever set you choose because that is the last aesthetical thing I would like to do to my car and I never could pick one because there are so few car pictures to use as examples so I don't know which one would look the best.

The lens in A just looks like it would flow better with your car. Not that B is a bad choice either, I do like the looks of that one too. I just think that the black would clash against your blue.

BUT....the lens in B looks like it could be easily painted to match your car. If you got B I would personally do that. You can pick up what you need from paintscratch.com in aerosol form and it works just great. It's what I use when I paint my fiberglass bumper after I'm through repairing cracks.

Either way it should look good though.

I would defintely do option A jeff. It would go great with all of your carbon fiber work. I don't like b to much. They look pretty ricey.

lol 2 boards... 2 split opinions.

B reminds me of focus projectors, and I kinda like that design, altho I would be the first with them... and it would be kinda a trial thing so whatever they make I am gonna get, so the turn signal lights scare me.

Altho I like the no lens look, i feel with as much driving as I do... that the cleaning aspect will be easier with the lens. And I know I can do HIDs with the a setup, thats why im torn.

I just really want projectors/HIDs think it will add a ton to the car especially at night, i think it makes it look much more aggressive.

Right now I have some of the bezel inside painted close to match, and dont htink it suits the car very well, i would go with black, hell if I go with b, I pretty much guarentee I would tear them apart and send it in.... to have it carbon fibered by someone else I know.... mmmmm


Now I am leaning towards A more!

ya its on a fire, but would be the same basic principle. the projector in stock housing painted black kinda like that.

since I have 9007 bulbs already... dual projectors seem difficult for me.

Oh ya A i cna either use H4s or my 9007s, but if I use the 9007s... I cant use the rear housing on the projector.. so i would probably go with H4

I think A is better. They look like they would "flow" with your car better.

what if you did a sufire front end conversion?

ZacFields

I don't know how easy that is on the new cavaliers to do a sunfire-front end conversion. It would be a fun project....but IMO the sunfire front ends don't look as good. I'd rather have a kitted cavalier front than the sunfire front.

I have really thought about a sunfire front end, there is a front bumper i really really like, problem is it sits very very low, and i worry enough as is right now with mine.

I dont know if the bumper is made for 03s. The swap shouldnt be bad but I kinda like the cavy front end, its grown on me, and thats why I want these projectors to fix the lights that make my car look a tad slow.

Altho I seem to get alot of comments at shows people are like man from far away that looked like a supra... heck if I know but I have probably been told that atleast at half my shows this summer.

Looks like A is the choice, HIDs will probably come at the same time
