damn, sux about droppin the fogs. You forgot the "o" in showparts btw.

z3roneo · Post by **z3roneo** » Tue Mar 02, 2010 2:05 pm

skaterking: Niice.. Hope mine fogs coming out just like yours did.. Your setup looks very good.. I'm also gonna see if I can convert them to d2s bulb projectors... I've seen a number of peeps on hidplanet that have done it and the end results are very good.

Ntyvirus1: Yea.. thats what I get for trying to carry so much down stairs.. And thanxs for the proof read

Ok, here's what I have in store for the week..

Started with the bumper flares yesterday.. I got real bored at work and started cutting out templates.

Just came back in from firguring out which size I wanna roll with and I narrowed it down to the 1.75" and 2" flares.. I'm gonna cut one of each out on the lil aluminum sheet I bought from home depot and try them on tomorrow to see what works the best..

The rear deck lip carpet is gonna grow hair as well..

are you going to be molding those fender flares in or just attaching them on there.. jw

z3roneo · Post by **z3roneo** » Tue Mar 02, 2010 8:54 pm

The flares are gonna be just like the omega facial flares where they attach to the inner fender wheel plastic and front bumper..

I hate the way the front bumper dips in at the bottom. I want it poke out a bit,line up with the fenders and hide some of my huge 225 tires..

i wanna see where the rear deck is headed.

That rear deck should be sweet

z3roneo · Post by **z3roneo** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 8:51 pm

I cut the flares out of the Al. at work and when I got home I finished them up..

Here's before the flare..

It got dark on me fast and my camera suxs at taking nite shots..
Here's with the 2" flare..

1.75" Flare..

Still torn between the sizes cuz they both look really good.. I'm not looking for them to cover the whole tire, just about half..
My other project will take care of the rest..

Love the flares but hate this..

They make the inner plastic buldge out which can cause rubbing and it looks very nasty.. I figured what I'm gonna do but have to wait to the weekend to get it done..

Imma be, Imma be, Imma, Imma, Imma be

working on setting up the rear deck lid tomorrow..

synviper · Post by **synviper** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 9:34 pm

Very nice sir, i remember pming you a while back about what your car looked like an all, but im really anxious to see how this setup ends up looking.

Keep up the good work.

smiley · Post by **smiley** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 10:41 pm

looks good man

z3roneo · Post by **z3roneo** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 11:16 pm

synviper: Here's how my car looked before he went under the knife..

And thanxs.. I really looking forward to see my neon with some color.. I love the flat black look but I'm kinda anxious to see some color..

smiley: thanxs..

I can't wait til it starts warming up down here so I can start making the "Real" parts..
I've been having this same vision ever since the 2.4 was dropped in and its starting to bug me (in a good way).. I even sketched the parts out that I wanna make and labeled them with dimensions and crap...

Damnit.. Want it to be summer already..

z3roneo · Post by **z3roneo** » Thu Mar 04, 2010 9:19 pm

The rear deck lid now has rings as well..

Its too dark outside to get some good installed shots so I'll get them tomorrow around lunch time..

smiley · Post by **smiley** » Thu Mar 04, 2010 9:27 pm

looks good bro, that should look really good when its done

yer girl looks real involved in somethin

Tam · Post by **Tam** » Thu Mar 04, 2010 10:00 pm

So this is become all glassed up and painted and glossy right? It's not going to be a fuzzy carpet anymore?

glasswars · Post by **glasswars** » Thu Mar 04, 2010 10:08 pm

I am liking the bumper spacers. And all the neat stuff you make.

glad you enjoy hot glue now...........your front end looks alot better with the flares homie. what did you use to draw your rings?? when i did mine i used bowls from my kitchen lol

z3roneo · Post by **z3roneo** » Thu Mar 04, 2010 11:40 pm

smiley: Thanx and she was into the tv... as always..

Tam: Yup thats the idea.. Not too glossy but a lil.. Wanna try to match it to the dash and door panel color.. We'll see..

glasswars: Thanxs bro.. You got some crazy ideas too.. but I like how they all come together..

Ryan: You're retarded.. You finally log on too... ass..

Dan: Yea it funs now

I actually took the easy way out and bought the rings off egay a while back.. Me cutting ovals are circles is a disaster waiting to happen..

LaidNeon · Post by **LaidNeon** » Fri Mar 05, 2010 12:10 am

Some tool from Houston...

i kid... i kid...

Sup Ryan, figured you were already a memeber.

Issac looking good. As for the fenders, did you help Jason with a bracket that bolted to the frame and onto the bumper. That way you don't have that bulge near the tire.

then you can make a spacer that will connect from the liner to the bumper. No bulge...

z3roneo · Post by **z3roneo** » Fri Mar 05, 2010 2:33 pm

Dan: Yea.. try cutting some out of plexiglass.. Loads of fun..

Tam: Yea he's a locally tard that I have fun with on the weekends.. He's a 1gner..

Nate: Me and jason did it that way a long time ago and that's how I'll be doing.. I'll be using the steel bracket to push them out and then use the "omega style flare" to cover the gap..
You're getting good.

Here's some afternoon shots as promised.. (Phone Pics)

Don't pay any mind to the sub ring.. It's for another project that I'll soon start on..

NeonOn19s · Post by **NeonOn19s** » Fri Mar 05, 2010 2:40 pm

geeez man.. you tell me you'll give me a hand once your tasks on your car are done.. I'm having this feeling that day will never come..

BTW I need some brainstorming with my trunk.... you goin to be around this weekend?

z3roneo · Post by **z3roneo** » Fri Mar 05, 2010 3:04 pm

I play with my Fiberglass Parts during the week and the weekends I try to get the hard stuff out of the way cuz of the extra time..

Of course I'll be around this weekend.. We're suppose to have a very good weekend (weather wise) and I plan on doing some much needed body work on the doors..

What you have in mind?? I can come over for a bit and see whats up..

Brainstorming on the trunk area... Hmmmm.. That sounds like fun..

Hit me up..

Alright I'll let you know man thanks

Question. What kind of seatbelt r u gonna run in the bak.. Cuz I did fiberglass rear deck and my only issue was the searbelts. Also I like the dual ring. I'm not sure if it going with the 3 rings for final. But 2 looks the best.

NeonOn19s · Post by **NeonOn19s** » Fri Mar 05, 2010 8:22 pm

I'm not sure if he is using the 3rd ring..

z3roneo · Post by **z3roneo** » Fri Mar 05, 2010 10:04 pm

sxxxt: no seatbelts at all in the back.. My neon is officially a 2dr car.. I really don't like that many peeps in my car anways.. The back seat area is just gonna be for chilling period..

And nah it'll only be 2 rings in the back for the 6x9. The 10" sub ring is just there cuz I left it up there last nite.. The sub ring will be my last big interior project that I'm still working out in my head.. It's coming up very very soon.. I think you guys will love it..

Got happy when I got home.. 1 of my packages came in..
DDM 35 watt d2s 5000k bulbs

For these..

I'll be starting my retro soon..
