Its black until i get the bright silver metalic paint from the dealer to paint it the color of the car. Wasnt too hard to do and it looks nice.

Hmmm... Looks weird. Looks like there's no grill, just a strip of plastic... Like it's missing something.

Should look awesome when it's painted. Now you just need to lose your stickers and extra fog lamps, then your car will look slick as hell.

What all did you have to do to make it fit?

i like it,, but maybe get 2 more, to fill in the top and bottom, and paint to match the car, would be a fuller look.......

you bastard! i did that 2 weeks ago, but it sat at such an extreme downward angle, that i took it out until i can figure out how to make it sit straight. looks good though, i definitely need to finish mine.

Well i had to make some angled pieces of plastic to make it fit. It sits straight now but it needs to go up a bit higher because it does sit a bit low. I like it because it has no emblem and it has the outline of the hood with the line in the center.

I had to cut it in half and then shorten it ~5mm then super glue it back together, sand and paint black for now. I will try to get more shots at different angles.

Definitely post pictures of it when it's painted.

my friend shawn did that on his 01 r/t when he got an andys auto sport bodykit, in fact all he did was have my stock grill piece modified, the logo part removed and painted.

on your car it looks pretty good, just make sure you make it silver!

I have been wanting to be a 1GN for a long time almost ever since i drove my buddy's 1GN ACR which was sick.

But they are getting too old and now I want a new car more than anything. My eye has caught the AUDI A6 4.2L Quatro. 6SPD BLK

Might be getting one of those in the next year or so and then start saving up money for an SRT Swap into my neon. I am thinking A sleeper Rice Eater.

I am thinking of putting in a SRT-4 motor in 1G too. Think it would be fun to get in it and fast as hell. faster then a SRT-4 would be with the same motor, I think

Man that looks pretty good actully. And I HATE that front facia, my least favorite of all neons. But that helps out alot. It just looks like something is missing between the headlights. Looks good.
