Ordered My Kit Today!!!
Monday, March 20, 2006 1:48 PM
I FINALLY ordered my kit today!! I have a 03 Cav... Silver... I ordered the Drift kit from Gravana. I was wondering if anyone could post some pics if they have that kit on an 03 so I can see what it'll look like... I did a search but I only came up with one or two cars that had good pics... I know W00tburgers has it..... Anyone else??!! The anticipation is KILLING me!!

There are a few people who have it. Mine is a little different than what is on the market now. I have the urethane kit with door skins. The fiberglass version on the market now doesnt come with door skins (as far as I know), and the front and rear bumpers are slightly different. But the overall look is basically the same. I'm biased, but I think drift is one of the best, if not the best look out there for 03+ cavaliers

Here are a few pics:



Hope that helps

Woot, Did you install your kit yourself. If so I have a couple questions on the front. & rear

1) For the center what does your support Bracket look like to hold up the middle (right near the hood) mine sags and I am curious as to what yours looks like.

2) Right next to the turn signals the little triangle part, how was that fastened? mine seems to want to push away from the fender right next to the lights.

3) The Rear section right under the tails, did you have to modify yours at all slightly? Mine just doesnt want to sit right up to the light on the passenger side. Driver side will sit flush with the tail lamp. Plus when I close my trunk sometimes it wont stay closed ( so i had to pull part of the rubber guard from the inside out.

My kit is one of the Original urethane kits by pure, for the 03-05. My car is a 97 though but it still works. I had to remove the 95-99 Tail light filler panels since the 03-05 bumper has that molded into the bumper. Other than that the kit fits very well. Maybe i'll have to take some pics to show you what Im talking about.

I had a shop install the kit, but it isn't fit right.. I am going to be taking it to a different shop in a few weeks to see what they can do (if they can do anything)... but I made the bracket that supports that piece on the front bumper. I just took a piece of stainless steel, bent it, and then drilled a hole and mounted it under an existing bolt near the latch. Here are some pics that will hopefully help you.





I just used the one bracket and it has kept it more or less straight for about a year and a half now. Good luck

Steven: Enjoy the kit, grats on the purchase

Awesome, thats pretty much the same Idea I came up with for the bracket was to use the latch hole. Gotta love the Urethane kits I dont see where yours isnt fitting right. I guess Im not looking close enough. The 2 tail light filler areas i might just put the 95-99 tail fillers back on and cut that section out of the Pure kit, and mold straight to the filler plates.

Otherwise yours looks very nice.

I'm jealous. In my opinion, drift is definitely the best way to go. I just gotta save the $$ now.

Well you can give me them headlights of yours, it will make mine better Dont have time to build the ones Izn sells the parts for. As for the kit.. Yeah, In my honest opinion he would be very happy with the drift kit. It is one of the best looking kits that has ever come out for the Jbody. Its just too bad that nobody ever made a complete Carbon fiber kit for the 03-05 in Drift style. I would've been all over it. BTW wootburgers.. Your car is one of my backdrops too. Until mine is fully painted and molded I get to stare at your car on my computer.

Sorry to thread jack, but woot your car is georgous,, def. one of my favorites, and an inspiration. I was going to paint my tails like yours this weekend. But someone decided to rear end me at 30+ instead. Pics are in the wrecked/jacked forum if you wanna be depressed a little.

But good luck with the kit steve, good choice. Now get that bish installed and get some pics up

Man.... After almost a frickin' WEEK of waiting on Gravana to process my order those SOB's tell me that Versus is out of stock of the Blitz kit & there is a 5 week wait!!! I ended up ordering the VIS version... I was pissed b/c it took them a week to find out if the kit was in stock?? I hope it gets here next week.....

Did you order blitz or drift? I was unaware they made the blitz for the 03s.

Sorry. Typing too fast!! It was the Drift kit....
Re: Ordered My Kit Today!!!
Thursday, April 06, 2006 2:27 PM
Well, I"m still waiting.... Gravana told me that upon shipping they discovered the front bumper was cracked beyond repair... Have to wait a week & a half for a new one...

The customer service was a little slow at first but they've been pretty good with keeping me updated lately. I apologize for calling them SOB's earlier....

Patience is a virtue....
