yeah that's a great idea. I also noticed that the volt has a similar 'edge' going for it. I think I read a post about it on here somewhere as to where / at what angle such a hump should be placed. any thoughts? I think one guy had said to put it at the point just before there was flow separation.... maybe do some tuff testin this summer.
I only found two pictures of my first cavalier's first few mods. I don't have a cell phone so I don't take many pictures. the second car got written off when it was at its peak. so quickly tore off all the eco stuff before I took it in for the insurance claim. it was along the same lines but had a kamback and was a 2door.
these pictures show:
front bumper / underbelly / wheel spats and mirror delete. one other thing you may notice if you look close is the single wiper arm tucked under the hood. I changed the length of the 'drive arm' on the wiper motor to allow the one arm to do a full 160 degree sweep of the window.
the bumper is a fleece blanket stretched over the original which I cut in half an lowered the bottom half to be even with the under belly. then I coated in fiberglass resin. I plan on doing a similar one for little blue.

the firefly's front 'frame' is still ok. I know exactly what your talking about. it was mainly the rockers and rear wheel area that were rusty.
