Sweet location...is your neon bagged?

Damn! Looks nice! Is that one of those 'window spoilers' from eBay that increase performance?

I think I saw one of those on eBay and the seller was trying to convince that it increases your vehicle's performance because it's made of a lightweight material.

Pull that goofy spoiler and lose the shiny tail lights and you have one SWEET car.

Ahhhh another canadian!!!!! YAHOOO! welcome.

i think the tails match pretty good with the wheels and that window spoiler looks different... in a good (unique) way

I've always been a fan of your neon. IMO it would look perfect with stock tails, but I just don't like chrome tails. Good job on the neon and welcome to 2gn.

I dunno, I'm not a big fan of chrome taillights either, but the more I look at those pics, the more I like the looks of the tails and the goofy spoiler thing.

dblsg · Post by **dblsg** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 3:14 pm

its because the goofy spoiler thing is different, its not something you see on every other neon.

SILVER-ES · Post by **SILVER-ES** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 3:24 pm

I actually like the spoiler thing, a friend used to have one on his 1st gen and it looked good on there as well.

Nice pictures
do you have anything done to the interior of the car ?
what type of wheels are those ??

welcome to 2gn.org

sullygully · Post by **sullygully** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 6:35 pm

Thanks for the comments.

I love the window wing. I find it gives the car less of a "jelly bean" look with it on, making the car look less round(which was my goal when kitting the car). It definetly wasn't bought with performance in mind.

The tails are love / hate relationship. I already plan on opening them up and painting all the chrome on them red. I love how they project the light in a way that I can't really explain, so thats why I got them.

As for the Interior, its bone stock except for my I.C.E. (clarion head unit, kenwood amp, plye 12" subs)

Lastly, the wheels are 18" ICON W65's in Hyper Silver. The pictures don't really do them any justice, and ill try and post some better quality ones if you'd all like.

Would those not fit an '03+? Aren't the rear windows the same?

sullygully · Post by **sullygully** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 8:13 pm

^^
The fit is exactly the same

half_twisted · Post by **half_twisted** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 8:16 pm

i dig the window spoiler, i think the down draft spoiler for the trunk would really add to the car. it almost doesnt look right not having anything on the trunk.

WiTeOuT · Post by **WiTeOuT** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 9:11 pm

I like it man! Great job on everything. What I like is it's original....ya know, the spoiler and everything. You don't see many 2nd gens like that. Good stuff!

scneonchic · Post by **scneonchic** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 1:00 am

i like it alot!

ive only seen that kit on a few neons, is it bagged or is it really that low? i know someone else asked you that, but i didnt see an answer

either way, it looks badass

great job with it! and welcome to 2gn! its so much better than that other .org hahaha

xspeedx · Post by **xspeedx** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 2:22 am

its just that low!!!

no bags

believe it or not

sullygully · Post by **sullygully** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 9:13 am

xspeedx is right. I'm sitting on Koni sports with ebay coilovers.
Bags however are next on the list. I plan on doing it either this fall, or next spring.
If anyones interested in buying my suspension set up, I'd be able to get the project going sooner however

nice neon

scneonchic · Post by **scneonchic** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 11:43 am

i might take the konis from you, how many miles do you have on them?...how much would u want for them?

sullygully · Post by **sullygully** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 12:14 pm

Rears are around 5000kms (3000 mi.), and fronts are only 1500kms (1000 mi).

Rears were installed last fall, and the fronts were installed this spring, and are in "like new" condition.

I payed $1000 CAN for all 4 corners.

I'd settle for $650 CAN ($535 US) plus shipping, w/ lifetime limited warranty. This includes it already installed in the stock strut housing, since these are cartridge inserts. I could also through in the coilovers for an extra 50 bucks(CAN).

So with them already installed in the strut housing, this saves you about half a days labour getting them installed, plus you'd still have your orignal struts to fall back on just in case.
