CAR LOOKS PRETTY GOOD, MAYBE TINT THE THIRD BRAKELIGHT TOO AND CLEAR THE TAILS OR SOMETHING TO GIVE THEM A GLOSSY LOOK. THEY LOOK A LITTLE DULL COMPARED TO THE REST OF THE CAR. IT WOULD LOOK A LOT BETTER IF THEY WERE GLOSSY LIKE THE REST OF THE CAR.

sorry for the caps, I'm creating drawings and I forgot to turn it off.

I like it all except the exhaust. although, if it has mopar springs there's no way its lowered 2 inches.

Thank you all for your input

We are putting clear tint film over the tails, so I agree it will look amazing

I don't know if you can tell, the side markers are tinted too

And as far as the exhaust it was experimental, but since the shop is going to be doing work on my car consistently i gave it a shot, everyone who has seen it in person likes it, so i'll stick with it, it is very uncommon on any neon

and supertrick, your car is effing sick.

But anyways, also when he lowered it, he did it his own way, that he learned in automotive school.

And today i was blessed by jordan with his srt-4, he purchased brakes but the shop gave us platinum rotors and ceramic pads. Pretty sick stuff. Lip kit is next, gold rims, and yeah. I hope you guys can help me out in the future!

Thanks again

not that it's bad, but the exhaust is a little flamboyant for my taste. and as far as the lowering goes, what way was that cause i have a degree in auto body and collision refinishing so i know the unibody frame pretty well, and i'm currently going for auto mechanics and i haven't heard of a way to lower something "your own way" without screwing up.

but that aside you car looks sick as hell man. i LOVE the front bein 100% black. what's the BLACKoutMAFIA?

Well this guy who's been in the business for 25 years and lowers show cars and what not, did it, you'd have to talk to him. He's doing the adjustable struts in the future, but did this for now.

Thanks for the complements, too! I'll ask him about everything and give you a write up, like the lowering and such.

Also, black out mafia is a group of people in LI that have black srt-4's and sxt's with swaps/turbo's or n/a....but we are all blacked out. Except for the nocturnal, which is yellow.

Yeah, i think about the exhaust tips being a little overdoing it, but it's like an " eh, i like it today" and " eh, it's gay today" kind of thing. Once the lip kit is on the corvette style exhaust outlets are going to be in order, in the center of the bumper.

thanks again for the input, keep it coming


EDIT----- i've only had the car for about 2 months..and my exterior is almost completely done! might do some cuda but i'm getting vinyl from elsewhere ( surprise )

Pretty happy about my results so far, i can't wait to get it fine tuned after the winter( interior, engine and exterior )

Stop yelling at the man Frank! :banghead: :rofl:

Looks killer! I love the all black look, and I kinda like the exhaust, definitely get points for being different!

Keep up the good work! :thumbup:

Are you building some thing to show. also your car looks like the raised it instead of lowering it. and the exhaust, i dont know what they told you but that is not commom. also if you are going to center your exhaust dont do it on a lip kit. get the actual body kit that requires you to do that. But other than that car looks nice.

Welcome to the site. Lvin how well you got that black to shine. Headlights are really nice.

I am with the others though;

Not diggin that exhaust at all, its unique on the Neon but theres a reason why you don't see many Neons with quad exhaust, doesn't look good.
Tail lights need to be tinted and have a glossy tinted look.
Car diffently needs rims and a real drop.
It says in your sig that the rear is lowered 2''? Why just the back?
I personally have never been a fan of the SRT-4 spoiler, even on SRT-4's.
Once the lip kit is on the corvette style exhaust outlets are going to be in order, in the center of the bumper.
Nice. so its going to be just a single center correct?

Or two centers. (Hope not)


Lip kit is next, gold rims
Very nice!

For two months you have done A LOT. Keep on moddin man. :thumbup:

tahhahaa. looking clean but I see your car everyday and its like my car too. I agree with everyone, clearcoat the taillights. I think the exhaust is fine and everyone thats seen it IRL loves it but I can see where people are coming from. I guess it all depends on personal style. what are we going to do with the exhaust when you get the lip kit?

just to update people, we picked up SRT rims today which will be painted gold very soon.

By the way kemizt is my lil' brother. He's the money and hustle behind the car i'm the one that just gets the dirty work done, lol. The SRT rims are going to look absolutely sickening when they are finished, and i'm trying to find a tint shop that doesn't charge $220. Damn long islanders. -_-

Very nice car homie, I'm feeling the all black. Looks very clean. I like the exhaust to be honest. It just depends who you are. It's definately different. Different is good.

DAMN, this thing looks nice! Once the lip kit is on, it will look 100%. Personally, that is the only "body kit" for any Neon that I've liked. The exhaust... eh... it's your car. But I really like where the car is going. Those headlights are sick too. Looks great!
