They are Spyder OEM style LED tails heavily smoked.
Well guys, its been a bit too song since the last update. A little bit has happened. Let me see.
It sat the majority of the winter months out of the salt which was good. Cavalier has been put to good use.
2-04-2013: Alternator went. Went out on me 15 miles from town. Everything electrical died, but the HVAC and fuel pump still worked. Truck ran like crap and had no power. Went right to the dealer and they diagnosed it the alternator went bad. Stupidly I had them replace it for just shy of $400.00. I should have looked up how easy it was to replace and ordered one from Tasca. for half the cost.
3-06-2013: Replaced the front brake lines. Lost brakes 40 miles from home, noticed the pedal was stiff, then just faded and went right to the floor. Took two bottles of prestone dot 3, downshifting, and e-brake to get home safely. Discovered it was the passenger side line. Ordered just that line cause I had intended to go with stainless braided this summer, ordered the drivers side by accident... $47 from Tasca ( while there I ordered a transmission screen, and fuel filter ). Took a week to get the wrong part. Pissed!
Went right to the dealer and ordered the passenger side at their cost of $80.00. Fixed and re-filled the brake system with motorcraft dot 3, and bled it ( took forever! I swear I bled it longer than replacing the lines! ). All is fine and dandy now. Brakes good again.
Replaced my fuel filter during this also. Brown gas came out the opposite end, 20k miles.... damn. Truck is now on 89 and 93 octane files so maybe this fuel will be cleaner. Still feel like changing every 10k miles now however. Next up is dropping the pan, getting a drain bolt installed, and replacing the screen ( already have screen, part #F6AZ 7A098 A ).
3-08-2013: Ordered & received the Rancho Quiklifts & RS9000XL rear shocks now that the Rancho rebate is back. Boy they are beauties in person!
4-07-2013: While the truck was sitting for a couple weeks due to the brake line screw up, I dropped the spare tire because I noticed the truck struggled to start sometimes in the rain, instantly knew it was the fuel module since I had the problem with my '04. I dropped the spare and looked, the module looked toast. Ordered the immediately ( cheapest from Amazon ) and replaced it. I think the OEM module had maybe a week of life left into it. Just in time! Used the provided spacers for the Dorman. Though I don't feel it was necessary as plastic does not decay from salt.
Dorman installed.
The remains of the OEM.
Other than that, shes just sitting nasty from spring weather. From last week.
Here are some random photos. Some of them are from my phone with Instagram enhancement.
January 2013: Traded my old falling apart Dodge Neon R/T for a mint 2004 Cavalier LS Sport. Borrowed my buddy Bryan's FX4 wheels/tires for lighter weight and better grip. Averaged 12.5mpg towing 400 miles.
What the gauge told me.
Cold start up.
Love this pic because of our countries flag flying high.
March 2013:
Snow pic.
Took my Leer cover off to haul my bud's bike.
Me & my bud being idiots during.
Another goofy pic, but the only better direct photo I have of my Polaris ATV in the back of my truck.
April 2013:
Found a solid snow plow build up lol.
Visiting my father's grave.
Stay tuned, next the Ranchos go in as soon as I get a helping hand & time, Moog UCAs go in, and Moog lower ball joints pressed in. Looking forward to the new ride feel and look. Then, tires, longtube headers since I have a manifold leak, and spark plugs.

Thanks guys!
I got them from TheSuspensionSource, a sponser on here
, for a great deal. They wanted $580.00, I found other vendors selling cheaper, so they price matched them and it was $520.00 out the door, and still eligible for the $120.00 rebate!
