"How to improve the looks of a Sunfire in 4 easy steps."

Nice find! That looks surprisingly good.

I think I would have left a note.

I question the naked deck lid though. It probably needs a spoiler for best Cd. (Looks like they pulled off the strange GM "under window" spoiler.)

Is it lowered too, or do the other mods just make it look like it is?

What I like to do in this situation is leave a Ecomodder Business card on their windshield to let them know you love their car and would like to have them come and share more info on this forum.

I got a few of these cards with my last purchase of some decals and t-shirt.

I'll leave a note next time I'm in the neighborhood. It looks pretty cool. Clean. I've seen it on the road, so we know he is using it.

It's somehow impressive how the Sunfire even resembles an EV1 at a certain point...
