On top of what he'll being paying for the car itself. Like I said, if he CAN swing it, it wont be comfortable and the half-ass mods will soon come.

Also, I'm not quoting it, but godamn Mox for living in such a warm state ya'll have some cold ass water coming through your hoses.

That's the nice Sulfur Well Water. No need for Ice Cubes.

$32K car, 19% APR, 60 month loan, 6% Sales Tax = $880 a month. Total cost $57K

Come on Mox, he can't have a better APR than me. Revise?

MoxHair · Post by **MoxHair** » Sun Aug 15, 2010 11:59 am

Who has 6% sales tax? It's 7% here and 8% in central Indiana.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Sun Aug 15, 2010 12:01 pm

7% here too.

MoxHair · Post by **MoxHair** » Sun Aug 15, 2010 12:02 pm

6.00000% here in Florida too. Plus NO STATE INCOME TAX!

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Sun Aug 15, 2010 12:02 pm

Hot damn!

They have that because 80% of the citizens of FL are on social security.

State sales tax in TX is 6.25%, cities can add up to 2% on top of that totaling 8.25%, but car purchases are only done at state rate. No state income tax here, either.

7% here in RI also more added based on the weight of your vehicle. Greediness FTL!

sidepipe87 · Post by **sidepipe87** » Sun Aug 15, 2010 3:14 pm

ehhhh... i dont know for a rather stock body neon that hood sort of looks out of place.

For the time being i say no.

Gee Manny, I hate to be negative but... no. Sorry.

blueneo03 · Post by **blueneo03** » Sun Oct 31, 2010 12:08 am

I kinda like it either not enough black on the outside if you plan to keep it unpainted but I think if u paint it it could look good

sxxxt · Post by **sxxxt** » Sun Oct 31, 2010 12:14 am

The color skeme IDE for the hood is gonna look perfect for the car

Good, get rid of it along with your black eyelids and colormatch your sidemarkers stat!

if your talking bout the way i told you earlier than yeah. think so.

haha. it isnt mine. just test fitted it to see what it would look like.

i like it cause its funcional and not a stupid srt hood with a hood gap.

on the other hand. to make it flow better theres the option of painting the roof and trunk black.( or leaving the center piece black and painting the rest to match car ) but that will just take more money that i dont want to dip into as i got another project in the works wich wont get revealed till im done with it

The scooped hood will go with the rest of your car if it's color matched. Think of Nee (LSP's SXT). Your relatively stock car won't look right with a black roof and/or trunk

SlvrACR · Post by **SlvrACR** » Sun Oct 31, 2010 8:56 am

Paint it yellow or no

SlvrACR wrote:Paint it yellow or no

all yellow ?

& i still got a while before i get the hood, thats if i do get it. so all paint opinions are being looked at.

it would be great it someone could photo-chop it to all yellow hood & on a second chop just leave the center piece black and rest yellow. just to give an idea.

MyNeonSaysHi · Post by **MyNeonSaysHi** » Sun Oct 31, 2010 10:56 am

Didn't Opi have that hood in all yellow?

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Sun Oct 31, 2010 11:16 am

He had it in black/yellow, IIRC.

sxxxt · Post by **sxxxt** » Sun Oct 31, 2010 11:31 am

Here a couple
more pics what it looked like from different angles

IMO i really like the hood and I think if it's color matches it will look good and if the roof and decklod os painted balavk with would look good.. Win win on the color scheme.

No, he had a different hood altogether. But the black and yellow was pukalicious.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Sun Oct 31, 2010 12:15 pm

Not the same, but a similar style.
