The "Battle Neon" Project Lots of new stuff 4/6
Posted: Thu Jun 26, 2008 5:20 am
Well ive been modding the car for a long time and am starting to really get to where I want to be and am getting a few things real soon so I figured it was time for one of these. Ill start with my pic log and then work from there
So when I got the car i put some Megan lowering springs and a aem -ish intake. Then got a ebay exhaust that did well for not having alot of money. Then shit went sour and the trunk leaked and the car tryed to drown itself. I got really upset and almost sold it. But I realized that it had been so faithful to me that I couldnt give it up and thats about the time I found 2gn.org. Since ive been here I have purchased a Chrysler grill, Magnum valve cover, projectors and hids, coilovers, front and rear strut bars and misc lil things and the car is coming around. Now I have a baby on the way and I realize that I have the perfect car and whats funny is that when my fiance is in the Neon that the baby kicks like its having fun. Well I dont have alot of pics of the cars various stages but I will try to throw out what I have.
These are the earliest pics of the car of when I was putting the springs and all that on:
all flyin and junk
gettin ditry
size difference
on the rack
these are some shots just before it went semi sour
After the trunk flooding I threw all the carpet away because it was so wet it was beyond salvage. Then it turned around......
I started with the valve cover
Then it was a DC front strut bar and the Chrysler grill
and the Projectors and HIDs, also dropped the exhaust for a srt midsection i converted to side exit
then the coilovers and some taillight tint and a set of 03 wheels
Since then I have put on some 20percent tint and am getting ready for two new mods thanks to my soon to be wife.....
My interior:
Its a Komono material kinda silky but the headliner, door inserts and rear deck will be done with this soon and pics will follow
she also got me a maddog 80-4 reduction 2inches shorter sts that will be threaded to fit this knob
I got the red one and a set of Johnny Mopar cradle bushings are going on too with these things but the goal is to be done all of these things by Carlisle.
And this is how she sits today (these were before the tint)
The Interior:
Still gotta do the door inserts, shiftboot and rear deck(maybe?)
Well its been awhile but I got a new mod

Well if you made it this far I hope you enjoyed the journey that was the lil neon that could, the mods are gonna slow down a bit due to the baby but that last couple things like the fabric and the sts were a fathers day gift (this being my first fathers day) so they are gonna be very special pieces in the car. well I guess all there is left is to say "Stay Classy San Diego, and Thanks for Stopping by"
