Well it doesn't neccessarily have to be cheap, just to start off I want cheap mods, then I'll get to the bigger stuff later. Like those lowering springs, tints, rims/wheels, de badging it, stuff like that for now, then I'll get body kits, expensive engine mods & whatnot.

But yo how long or hard is it to install those lowering springs?

My friend and I installed kazera springs on my neon today and it took 2:30 hours at the fully equipped garage at his work.

After seeing the tools he needed and how he did it (I wouldn't know where to start).. I recommend getting them installed.

He used:
-a few sizes in wrenches
-Compressor
-Impact wrench
-Some special clamps for the springs
-Some wd40

.... We snapped one of the bolts that was stuck and drill it out. woooops.

And the drop was only about 1 inch ... I hope I have to break em in or something to get the "1.5 inch" drop they are supposed to have, because at the moment 1inch just doesn't seem like enough.

I kinda think I should have spent the extra money for eibach prokit or something, but at the same time, it snows alot here and my car is a daily driver so the kazera springs are alot more practical.

i can drop one without air in 2 hours...have done mine and 2 buddies...

ya it is basically just knowing what u are doing..when i did my springs for he first time i had never done it before so..i just went at it...took me about 4-5 hours.

Now iv done it soo many times i can do it in like 1.5-2 with my tools...which are impact, air wrench, misc tools, and spring compressors...

So it is basically just konwing what u are doing and just going at it...

in this order. Just my personal opinion...

1. K&N filter, or a CAI
2.Exhaust of your choice
3.Tint
4.Lower.

popcornPIMPz · Post by **popcornPIMPz** » Wed Aug 22, 2007 12:24 pm

True. I'll take that into consideration. Thanks.

popcornPIMPz · Post by **popcornPIMPz** » Wed Aug 29, 2007 1:22 pm

I took off the hubcaps & removed those rubber door protector things. Looks cleaner. Although I hate my steelies lol.

Steelies look good if you shine em up IMO.

popcornPIMPz · Post by **popcornPIMPz** » Wed Aug 29, 2007 3:04 pm

I see sounds good. I mainly want rims right now. I can do tint & lowering real soon. The lip & rims will be a bit tho.

kc2005ptgt · Post by **kc2005ptgt** » Wed Aug 29, 2007 3:06 pm

mopar lip kit, 1gn lowering springs, remove side moldings, debadge it, tint windows, remove any all stickers, find some nicer rims, like the 03+ 7 spoke neon rims, or 01-03 snowflakes, maybe paint em black with silver lip, something liek that..

popcornPIMPz · Post by **popcornPIMPz** » Wed Aug 29, 2007 3:08 pm

I already removed the side moldings & took off the dealer logo thing. Idk how I am gonna take off the dumb decals/stripes that is on my car?

Color match mirrors and b-pillar.

popcornPIMPz · Post by **popcornPIMPz** » Wed Aug 29, 2007 3:13 pm

Hm, paint 'em? Is even painting them gonna look good? Since the car is fiber glass & the pillar & mirrors are plastic or w/e.?

bone-yard-racing · Post by **bone-yard-racing** » Thu Aug 30, 2007 6:35 pm

The car is metal the pillars and mirriors look great painted on a 1gn I think you might be the first to try it on a 2gn. I'll put up some new pics of the 1gn tonight.

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Thu Aug 30, 2007 6:38 pm

DEFENTALLY not the first to paint the mirrors. I see it done all the time actually.

popcornPIMPz · Post by **popcornPIMPz** » Thu Aug 30, 2007 11:00 pm

I don't think I'ma paint my shit. I could always get some silver mirrors from a junkyard or w/e to put on there & leave the pillars black. My car looks a lot better w/o those rubber door things tho.

Here's someone selling theirs:

Best looking stock wheels for a Neon in my opinion.

Or for a near-free mod you could try my patented --Honey Chrome-- I think it would look amazing on a silver car.
