If there were a part you would like made for your Neon more cheaply, or a part in general what would it be? These could be performance upgrades, decorative items, etc etc.

Just kicking around ideas in my head....

Small front lower lip for the front bumper of the R/T. Either fiberglass or CF but I'd like CF myself since it would match the hood

lol but yah... won't be made. Everyone comes on and says they'll make this or that, ect and nothing ever comes of it. Also like to see a nicely made LTH that has good clearance and performs very very nice also at a resonable price.

Ok, let's limit this a bit:

No robots

Let's keep it to stuff with 2gn Neons, more in the realm of mechanical stuff. Fibre glass/Carbon fibre stuff is a definate no go. Looking for stuff with some design time, that I would then send out to be fabricated.

You're probably right, however I figured if there was something that came up with enough demand, it may be worth while. I'm not promising anything at all at the moment, but usually what I say I do. I said I'd design a kit to replace the rear lower control arm bushings, and by golly I did:

About the only thing I haven't followed through on is supercharging my 2gn, although there are various reasons/excuses for that at the moment.

My ackronym decoder is drunk at the moment, what's an LTH? (I'm gonna feel dumber when you tell me)

Long Tube Header

And the LCA bushings... already been done lol... I have a set on my black car as we speak, I've probably had them for over a year now haha.

PSI-FI Traction Bushings -

Their front bushings were crap so I had to buy the Rage-Tek front bushings.

Yeah, that's what drove me to make mine. After two sets of stockers I got fed up. Absoluetly horrible. Glad I made them though, best mod I've done yet. That's the first time I've seen those Rage-teks though. Don't know how I like the bolted together thing. Must have to loctite the hell out of them from coming loose?

Long Tube Header, for F sakes.... I feel dumb.

you couldnt probably make one of those yourself..just get a dask kit for putting in a aftermarket deck and if your good with fiberglass, fill/cover the opening with it and paint it.

Hmmm.....

I think I see something shining through, plus a few others of interest.

I'll see what I can whip together in the next month or so. The big thing will be the cost though, trying to keep it as low as possible.
