TNK · Post by **TNK** » Mon Apr 10, 2006 10:23 pm

so, yestyerday was an absolutely BEAUTIFUL day here. so i washed up the car. last night it rained, but she stayed pretty clean, so after work today i worked on the lip some more, sprayed some paint on it real kwik like and took her out into the sunset for some pics. so here they are. i think they turned out pretty damned good.

i LOVE the effect the river cast on the side of my car in this vvvvv shot!

i think i like the lip in white.... what do you guys think of the good ol' skunkaroo? she needs paint and some cf... and a 5speed.... but i love her....

looks way better, omg it honestly looks like a diffrent car, you should unmount the lip and make it one straight cut at the bottom so its not uneven.

TNK · Post by **TNK** » Mon Apr 10, 2006 10:29 pm

it is straight..... i spent an hour sanding it straight....

its because of the way it curves out in the front.... it is made from the bottom of an 04 SXT bumper...

oh my god! the difference a little soap and water makes! j/k

cmon, i know your laughing.... car does look a lot better though.

about the lip,i think it looked better in black.
and why is everyone bitting my style with the water pics?...

Please ditch the lip, pretty please, makes baby jesus cry...

But, otherwise, car looks 85% better clean........would look 100% better without the "lip".

Bro, please don't take offence, I seriously think the lip just doesn't quite fit the car, it would look extremely clean with an R/T front bumper. I really mean no harm in it. And i think thesehttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-Tenzo ... enameZWDVW or these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-White ... enameZWDVW would look awesome on your car.......fairly cheap, and the polished lip would really set them off on your ride.

Wow! Those pics are sweeet! And the car is CLEAN! Good job getting her all shined up.

And I think I agree with lambostealth about the lip, although it does look much better painted than it did when it was black. And the second auction he posted - Those wheels would look wicked on the skunkerooo!

the location by the river is where alot o fmy pictures have come fomr, just cuz its a cool little park and aprking lot and the boat dock is a good place to get alot of light on the car. but this time i got the water in the shot too.

i LOVE my new siggy! and im hoping to continue making the car better and better...

ive always wanted to know this

WHY THE HELL would you not have a front license plate bracket on your bumper but have the plate itself in the most RETARDED place on your bumper

it just amazes me what some people do to their cars all in the name of looking cool

looks good man its coming along nicely. Let me know if you ever wanna meet somewhere and have a photo shoot or something on a weekend. Also if your still in the market for a srt4 hood lmk as mine is available if you are looking for one.

Jay

p.s. the wheels look nice but personally I liked um better bronze.

lilolneon · Post by **lilolneon** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 4:39 am

i think those wheels would look great with a silver or semi chrome trim ring thing kinda like what the motorsport editions have

MyNeonSaysHi · Post by **MyNeonSaysHi** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 10:34 am

Thats one nice white Neon! I liked it when they were bronze a bit better. But that still looks great. I think it looks great the way it is, nothing really needs to be changed IMO. Just miss your wheels when they were bronze. And the license plate makes it look like your car has one buck tooth.

GTS · Post by **GTS** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 10:40 am

IMO it might look bad ass if the wheels were actually white.

lilolneon · Post by **lilolneon** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 11:01 am

i just took a quickie glance at the pictures up top... it looks kinda like a police car

nice once again!

TNK in a cop car? Uh....I barely know him, but I doubt it...haha

Looks good man. This thread answered my Q from your other thread that you took such a beating on. Car looks 10X better clean.
Maybe if you cut the lip to half it's height, so it was just a subtle one. Hmmm. I liked it black too. I don't know.....
The car does look a hella' lot better dude. Love those wheels. They look like the WedSports I almost bought...

dinetuner · Post by **dinetuner** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 8:38 pm

bronze.. was alot sexier dude.. omg i remeber for a sec i wanted my car like yours.. slung low white and bronze wheels and black trunk/hood..lol

01rtgurl · Post by **01rtgurl** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 10:11 pm

holy shit. the wheels look MASSIVE. Am I the only one that thinks that?? I know they're 17" but they look BIG.

kirktalife: omg your headlights. PM pics please??

TNK · Post by **TNK** » Thu Apr 13, 2006 12:22 am

the bunper is new. i didnt get a bracket with it when i bought it. thats why i dont have one.

the hood pins are gone. i filled the holes and it looks MUCH better, i will try and get pics up this week. the mesh in the "vent" in the hood is also black now. and the lip is black (befoer it was white it was still just the factory graphite of my wife's car). i like the lip in black and i love the no hood pins look. it makes the car look much better. thanks for the comments everyone.

does anyone know where to get polyurethane S style eyelids?

juicyjay, hit me up with a pm about those mirrors, not sure if you ever got the measurments i sent you. and yeah, a photo shoot would be cool, but i wanna get my bumper painted the same color as the car first lol
