You need to raise the ass end more it's got wicked reverse rake. It looks, to the general public, like you're riding around with blown struts in the rear. :\

Your sig picture shows the exact same thing....either that or fix the pinch welds and lower the front more so it's even at the least.

Wheel gap does not look leval, but the sideskirts to ground look leval??? i kinda like it slammed like that, but i agree, front needs to be lower...
if u do not lower the front just send me the coilovers and i will do it to my car. HAHA

So im driving home yesterday afternoon from Carlisle and then as soon as i got out of PA i hear a zing zing and then pop pop pop pop loudly. i get off at a gas station only to find this.
( so anyways..in the end i had to drive 4 hours with my loud ass car,i kinda like how it sounds but im going to fix it here soon.)
In the first picture what your looking at is my midpipe and cat converter pipe piece. Why is there a pipe there with hangers..cause well last week i cut my resonator off and didnt have time to weld it on there.
Here i finally didnt know what else to do..so i grabbed some raggs i had and hung the back end piece to this little tab thing that was there.only to keep it from hangin low and catching on something.

Well finally decided to do something about that rock chipped mismatched front lip i got.
plus had to take bumper off because its going to the exhaust shop
( why bumper off..well its too low and wont go up on any shop ramp here in town even with extensions.)
tomorrow for a custom exhaust setup im going to have done.
wich means my Magnaflow muffler with 1 inlet 2 outlets will be up for sale soon. so if anyone wants it then PM asap.
this is all for now folks.
Going to get paint tomorrow along with Clear coat.

So... you had to take the bumper off to get the car on the lift? Did you forget about the adjustability of coilovers?????

Oh yes, I'm sure removing the bumper is much easier...

It probably is. Fewer bolts, and if you have your coils set "just right", it's def better than adjusting and re-adjusting.

So many neons so little time.

Can't be that difficult to count how many turns you make to raise/lower the car can it?

It's pretty annoying, yeah. I never did it when I was doing work on my car either. Quicker to pop the bumper off in all reality. The reason I still agree with Sean though is because his ride height looks wack IMO and needs to be fixed anyway.

I would agree with Adam that the ride height is retarded looking. However that's mostly because the rear needs to come UP!!!

I'm just hear to say that removing a bumper is a helluva lot easier than dealing with coils. adjusting them just right sucks, not to mention has the chance of throwing out your alignment.

Please raise the rear just a tad until you mod the front to go lower.
The reverse rake looks ridiculous.... other than that... it looks good man.

yes it is much easier to take of 6 nuts than to adjust coils.
ehh whatever on the ride height issue. everyone seemed to think it was alrite when they saw it in person at Carlisle.

I don't see how EVERY picture of your car is just a lie to our eyes and it's really not that bad.
