I want to change the style of my cavalier . I am currently considering... these... Body kit(MUST)(including side fenders), Paintjob (simple but not plain), lambo doors, entire interior redone.. (blue and black or blue and orange)(currently ugly tan color on blue car), and possible turbo or nos kit..
 
Here is my questions..
1.)How hard is it to paint over the plastic type material (dashboard, door handle, steering whell, and such)and what kind of paint will iI need? and what preperations? I want every peice of the inside either Black, Blue, Orange... Including carpeting.
 
2.) I don't nessesarily want to buy new seats but i want to change the material on them... is this expensive to have done and where could i have it done(i live in OKC)(would i have to send them off?).. I want a Small custom design (super simple) if possible.
 
3.)I found blue carpet for the interior, However it just covers the floor board not the carpet in the rear dash or on the doors... Where could i find these?
 
3.)I want the roof to also be changed what type of place might do this and how expensive?
 
4.)And last question of today... I heard it was possible to have a NOS kit added to a car.. say a "100 shot" that only is used when you have the gas pedal fully pressed. (this 100 shot i heard about does that means it adds 100HP? and how expesive is this to buy/have put in. and where can i find this...
 
I have a friend who owns a shop and will be able to help with lots of the installs say the nos kit or turbo.. and body kit.. but the paint i gota do or have done.. I really want to do the painting of the interior my self if it isn't to hard to do a good job..
 
Thanks... Morfusaf *just hanging in the desert*

I don't know much about the other stuff but I would think twice about adding NOX unless you do some major reworking to the motor's lower end.
 
Remember GM did not design this motor for racing only 'freeway commuting'. It has potential but I don't think it could handle that sort of added stain for very long.

Since you didn't inform us as to the year and size of engine you have in your Cavy, it is hard to say that you can run a 100 shot on a stock engine. I do know a few folks that have done it, but they had Ecotec engines and one person had a 2.4L. To give you a safe answer, you need to tell us your engine year and size.
To answer your other question, yes 100 shot gives about 100hp.

If that 2.2L Ecotec was kept in great condition, you should be able to run a 100 shot with stock internals. The price varies from system to system. It also depends on whether you do a wet system or a dry shot. Search the internet for the information you need and then make an informed decision on what to buy. Most people that go with NOS use a wet system. It's safer at the higher shot range. Again, search and research before you buy a system.
