paint the door handles and body moldings to match the body or take em off and it will look nice. ive been wondering what white with green looks like.

Welcome! Is that a WW body kit? Also green neons FTW! I had them on my car too, took them off to replace with LED neons. Haven't been able to order the replacements yet.

I bought the body kit from andysautosports.com and it is the evo 5 body kit. And yeah i like the green neons they were put on when i got the car.

Welcome to the forum! What's up with the front bumper pic tho? Is your hood not closed, or does it just fit badly?

Up in Elgin eh, you might have seen Erick (esteinmayer) up there flying around in a red Neon?

Yikes. Looks like it could use a little ride height adjustment.

Welcome to the forums, by the way!

Better pix please. Someone else here has that front bumper on a light blue neon. I don't recall it having that fitment issue up front. Remove the black trim on the doors, paint or switch out the door handles, lower it and maybe remove the vinyl roll call on the doors

well since my neon is a daily driver what is the best option for me in suspensions upgrades note that i live in IL which means there are pot holes out the dick and need to avoid them without messing up my kit... please give me some options that will keep my car from scraping the ground

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Sun Feb 15, 2009 10:17 pm

First gen springs on stock struts are a cheap way of making it look good and dropping it without going TOO low. That's whats on my car currently and it sits almost perfect, but the rear is a bit lower than I'd prefer.

Sweet Neon man, we're a pretty diverse bunch here so whatever floats your boat, big, little, or no wings at all, welcome.

Oh yeah lower the beast too.

I live in Pittsburgh... You don't have to tell me about potholes. My car is getting lowered on Mopar Performance 2gn lowering springs (First gen ACR springs). You can't use just any 1st gen springs though. They have to be ACR springs so it has been said on here.

What's up bro? Love the white n black. Hey, like they said earlier, we are diverse here. But I personally like the color coordination of the white n black. I'm not sure why some are telling you instead of suggesting to remove or change some things. I think to each his own. But I'm new to forums so I guess thats just how its done. No disrespect to anyone. Anyway, Welcome. Just do you!!!

haha i was waiting for someone to say that lol but im keeping it now lol i took it off im thinking though of taking off the body kit... but im not sure though

Lose the kit, and find a lip kit if you can. I know it's a cookie cutter design now, but it's because it works. It's amazing to me how much it changes the look of the car. Still very clean and refined unlike a body kit, but more aggressive still. Don't sell it, you'll miss it! Just remove the side moldings and paint the door handles.

wait ur saying take off my body kit... and do what put the stock kit back on... i was thinking if i take off the body kit i would keep the giant fog lights and fabricate a hole in my stock body kit for it to fit... i have to cut out the middle anyways for my FMIC thats coming soon hopefully
