Hello Everyone...

I have a 2005 Dodge Neon SXT, I call it "Blu" lol. It seemed fitting lol. Anyways, I havent done much to it yet besides tint, Tail lights, vent visors and the shorty antenna. Next up is Black rims. I was going for a Black an Blue on the outside an the rims will complete that an I can focus on the inside. At some point I would like to have some chrome tribal graphics added. I havent dont anything on the inside yet, Im kinda at a loss on which way to go. I have a beige interior an I really dont like it. I would have much rather had grey or black to be honest... shrugs. But I cant complain, the car was a gift an is paid for so lol. Any suggestions??

Thanks a lot for taking the time to read my post an hope you all have a great day!

Nice tint. The car is very clean. Keep it that way. AKA no tribal graphics.

clean ride and i am jealous of your sunroof.....

IMO, it needs a drop, black 17s with chrome lip, and tinted sidemarkers.

Beige interior on an '05? I thought that all '05s had Slate Grey. Anyway, welcome to 2GN!

I do want a set of those eye lids, they are hot! The sunroof I love to TNK lol. As for droppin it... well, lol maybe after the warranty is gone LOL shrugs. 17's? is that a good size? I was thinking 16's lol. Chrome lip? never seen one... shrugs sounds hot tho! Never seen tinted sidemarkers either LOL... Im so glad I joined up hehe. And yes it has beige interior that I dont like... sigh here are some picuturse of the inside I took.

tinted sidemarkers... see my sig. thats what i have. eyelids are a great add, they make the car look way more aggressive.

can i take a WILD guess here and ask... are you a female? (i saw the steerign wheel cover adn it reminds me of the butterfly one my wife had on her SXT fro a while....)

NeonBluSXT · Post by **NeonBluSXT** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 4:35 pm

LOL... yes you would be correct there Sir.... lol yeah it is a cheap one until I find something I like more... shrugs

BTW, love the tails, i have the same ones, cept mine are painted gloss black and the chrome is gone.

welcome to the site BTW

NeonBluSXT · Post by **NeonBluSXT** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 4:40 pm

ahhh I see the sidemarkers now... those are nice! How did you go about getting them that way? Is it a film or did they come that way?

yes I love the tail lights myself. they were the second thing I done after the tint lol

TNK · Post by **TNK** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 4:44 pm

those ones are actually gone and i have a different set. but the best way to do it is to buy nightshades tint. the way i did those (cuz i was broke and wanted tinted markers) was some cheap rattle can black paint, sprayed in VERY light coats from pretty far away, and then clearcoated them. they actually turned out very well. another option is rockblocker tint film.

NeonBluSXT · Post by **NeonBluSXT** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 4:47 pm

well you did an awesome job on them. I was told before to get the clear ones but I like yours a lot better. I want your eye lids!! LOL shoot Id take your whole front end actually LMAO.. shrugs

TNK · Post by **TNK** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 4:49 pm

haha. i remember when i started out, my car looked just like yours, except its an 04 and it had the stock 7 spoke wheels and no sunroof. you will get there in time. jsut keep it clean and take your time. i learned teh hard way that cheap mods are exactly that, CHEAP.

my eyelids are made by my friend. he does vinyl signwork, and made the design up adn cut them and installed them for me. i LOVE them. one of my favorite mods to teh car.

welcome to the site and please pay no attention to mike (TNK), he is also still learning

^^^^LOL!!!!!

I'm envious that you have the sunroof.... I sure do miss having one. If you can bring yourself to go agianst warranty issues, a drop is definately in order IMHO... I think it cleans up the car even more...

Thank you... LOL Im thinking he just gets picked on a lot huh? lol

Yeah, I LOVE the sunroof too! I havent had one in so long lol. I love cars but I dont know how to work on them sadly. Im sure something like lowering it would cost a mint huh?

Welcome

Car looks good, although as everyone has suggested a drop is needed. Also I would recommend removing the sticker off your rear door window. Less>more when it comes to cars.
To drop the car first click here
They are a good vendor that makes online shopping reliable and easy.
Then expect to pay $200-400 to get them installed. If you are one of those females that likes to strut their stuff

then you might be able to get them installed even cheaper

Thank you for the welcome an the information as well. As for the sticker - I just put it on! lol. Its my BLING lol shrugs..
