I know I havent posted pics of my Neon in over a year probably, but this weekend I got around to fixing and painting the 02 bumper that I got last year. It was red so it took some time to get it ready but 4 coats fo PS2 paint and 2 thick coats of clear later and the thing looks just like OEM...
I am happy with the final results but it took around 10hrs to get there... the bumper was super hard to fit on the car... it simply didnt want to align anywhere...
Here are pictures of before and after...
Any comments are welcome....
BEFORE

AFTER
Here is the car a few hours later after I blacked out the two little bars in the lower opening and added my front lip...
Here are my 2 cars... daily driver on the right and my precious toy on the left...

looks great! especially without all the extra fog lights. keep up the good work, i would suggest spraying the trans cooler with some black paint, so it didnt stand out so much...

Thanks for all the comments guys, Yeah I just finished it up this weekend put it all together and realized my original Projector fogs... the ones in the first picture don't fit no more, so now I am gonna try to get some OEM ones and yes everything will get painted nice black color.... I was even thinking about some sort of black mesh to cover everything up...
No other plans for it for now, I will still try to do the 03 rear end conversion but thats gonna wait for now...
It will get a good wax and polish in the next few days, and then I will try to get the door moldings off of it... I know there are some bubbles on the left side but the right side seems ok my friend that spayed the front will do the door and the rear wing again...
I will try to post up some more pictures as I go along...
BTW if anyone has any fogs pleas let me know...

Nope that sticker is there to hide some defect in the paint... thats all, I do however buy all my tires from there and I would recommend them to anyone...
