The way you have it in your sig doesn't look that bad to me. I think you should keep it that way and re-work what you already have. My suggestions:

1) Get a new front bumper. Don't even bother trying to fix the old one, just get a new one and paint it, they're cheap enough.
2) Take you car to a muffler shop and have them fix the gap issue you have going on in the back there. If it's still not lining up correctly maybe consider another muffler type or shaving the rear bumper to accomodate the existing muffler.
3) If audio is your thing, then go balls out and design a kick-ass set-up for the trunk. Nothing says "noob amateur" like a basic black box with the largest subs you can fit in it just thrown in trunk. Spend some time there and really do something unique.
4) Do some interior work, from what I can tell it's a bit stock or plain.
5) Smooth out the exterior. Shave the handles and locks, debadge, smooth out the door guard stips on the sides.
6) Spruce up the engine bay. Keep it clean.

Just a few suggestions, and that's just for asthetics. I don't think you have to redo the whole car when you have so much untapped potential left in the current set-up. Tighten it up, clean it up.

Lastly, for the love of God and Country please don't put another big ass park bench spoiler on your car again. I know things are bigger in Texas, but damn...

I'm sure this guy is appreciating all this "constructive criticism" but please keep the swearing out of this guys, first and only warning.

:hello2: welcome to the boards.


i'm actually kinda feeling the car. glad you went back to the stock wing... that big one didn't match very well. but like overdrive said, just clean it up a bit. i would for sure fix the exhaust and get rid of the rear "neon" decal. just my $0.02 :D

Three things that are killing me here:

1) The stock 2002 Grille - It looks out of place with the body kit front. I would suggest buying a 2001 grille or have nothing in there at all.

2) The wing - I feel the same about the wing as the others whom did not like it.

3) The GIANT Neon Sticker - I do not understand why people put "Pontiac, Ford, Grand-Am" across their windshields/trunk/doors etc..... What, do I not know that is one of those? I just want to go over and ask them what type of car they have and then look at the big ass sticker, and say " OOOHHH you have a NEON. Without that sticker I would have never of known!!!"

Otherwise your car is not bad in my opinion. Take or leave the constructive criticism, but you will learn a lot from the people here.

I like the graphics. Looks great. I'm not too keen on the rest, but that's just opinion. Don't take it to heart too much. Side skirts look good, but I don't particularly like the front and rear fascias. I would go with something simpler on the body, lose the NEON graphic, tint the tails, leave the rest.
Paint the mirrors though. Would really set that car off.

That would be called thread hi-jacking.

You post a picture of your car on an internet forum, get ready for the criticism. Not everyone is going to like your car.

I do believe that was harsh what JeremyJ said though, but you can always ignore and move on.

I wasn't going to post in this thread but I think the reason why you are getting so much critisism isn't because of how over the top your car is. It's more because of the statement in your thread. I think you have struck a nerve.

Sorry but you have your facts a little twisted here. Chicks Dig style, that much is true. However, they dig expensive style. Not used economy cars with chromed out speakers and "cool" lights.

Okay I'll actually contribute now. In my opinion I'd swap the spoiler back to a SXT or SRT wing and possibly remove the neon sticker on the trunk. I'd also have the exhaust adjusted accordingly, which I'm sure you intend to do at some point. You'd have a more decently solid looking vehicle.

I can see why you would want to stick NEON on the back of your car if you were getting sick of everybody asking you what sort of car you drive. I have clueless people ask me how I like my STi, all the time. I have fun correcting them. I think you should remove it though.

This is of course all personal opinion and you are more then welcome to do whatever you'd like to your vehicle.
