ok i am in a dilema i built my car three years ago on what i wanted to do. basically have a nice car and go to a couple of shows but basically built it for me as my toy. but not i am thinking of putting back to stock body wise get rid of the kit and go with the mopar lip kit and back to the factory blaze red, and re lower with better suspension, and put diff wheels on it. but i also like the way it looks before it got all banged up. just looking for some insight.

a couple of years ago after the work.

the stock look i had before.

How banged up? If you are missing noticable chunks then I might consider changing out the kit. If you are missing an entire side of the car weeeell...your looking into something deeper.

I think if you like the way the car is right now - then just leave it the way it is. Less work

i say leave it the way it is and just go a head and fix it i mean you have all that time and energy in to it

dumper is cracked in four different spots, pass side side skirt is cracked too. i need a new SRT hood because it is buckled. i have pics just dont have the time to upload them right now. i have thought about running a diff bumper besides the evo like the buddy club 2 or something else, the fog lights are a major PITA.

I'm a big fan of keeping the car looking somewhat stock, it just looks cleaner when it's lowered with some beefy tires. I don't like to attract attention to myself so that may be the reason. Plus you have to drive different with a body kit, you don't really get to enjoy driving when you're always slowing down to keep the kit from scraping.

I say u go stock wit the lip kit BUT! keep the 2 tone. For some reason i like it

i say fix it up.

by fix it up i mean get a new front bumper.

i've always been a fan of the stock'ish looking cars.

doesnt attract attention, and its cheaper too

You actually did a nice job with that evo kit...I can't believe i'm saying that. If the fogs were black, would be perfect

Stock FTW

Paint the fogs black?

and while youat it your paint the headlights and dome light too...I guess I don't get why people think tinting your lights is cool, sounds counter productive IMO.

A more stockish look is more sensible, definately the opposite of the evo kit. But do what you like, after all it is your car and your money..

i voted take the kit off but;i would get like a buddy club 2 front and i think that would be much better,love the color

i like your car the way it is. just fix it up and roll.

well after some time pondering it and waying my options, and the last peice of my bumper breaking, the kit is coming off and the car is getting repainted, and is getting a lip and subtle changes from stock and thats it. it sucks to have to take the car back from such an xtereme but Massachusettes roads suck and is not really the place for that type of set up.

dblsg · Post by **dblsg** » Wed Mar 11, 2009 2:29 pm

yeah, i made the whole body kit mistake once too

you should keep the paint though... i likes that

04sxt2.0 · Post by **04sxt2.0** » Wed Mar 11, 2009 5:25 pm

im not to sure yet, i like the paint, but it needs to be repainted any way its fading and not cleared. it would look different.

DoubtedNeon · Post by **DoubtedNeon** » Wed Mar 11, 2009 11:16 pm

i really like your paint, it looks very nice, u should keep it painted that way but mopar lip kit on the front

asanti · Post by **asanti** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 7:14 pm

I say repaint it in the same color scheme, but do the OEM look with a lip kit and keep it dropped.

Later

I think the oem look is much more tasteful than these flashy body kits. Plus when you lower your car with the already low sitting body kit, you end up scraping and sometimes trashing the front bumper.

There is something smooth about a lowered oem body neon. I guess I'm just a fan of the "less is more" theme.

Neon4Life · Post by **Neon4Life** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 8:28 pm

lol wow im thinking of doing the same thing. like changin my evo kit to my oem front bumper and stuff. but i know i wont cause i know ill miss my evo front.

but really i think ur red with evo kit neon looks nice so oem would just look too stock and not flashy at all,, thats the way i look at it.

Hmm my dumper only has one crack

Sounds like you should consider going stock and using the money you'd have to spend on fixing a broken kit to upgrade something.

04sxt2.0 · Post by **04sxt2.0** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 9:52 pm

the crack is no more neither is the bumper the bumper broke all the way now so its fubar.
