Whoah. New Pics!

It's been a while since I've posted pics of her so I decided to grab a few today... Please keep in mind that she's just out from being parked for a few months so she's a bit dirty. It's been raining the last few days here (hence the ugly skies) so it was pointless to wash her up. She needs a real good scrub and wax job which will be coming in a couple weeks.

The eyelids are in rough shape so I'll be peeling them off and either buying fiberglass (or plastic) ones or just painting them on. Also, the roll call on the windshield will be gone as soon as the weather gets a bit nicer out. Let me know what you guys think!

Car looks good except the eyelids but you said you were going to take care of that. I would get them painted to match personally, it would look so much better than the black.

Sexy little neon.

Thank you!

Yeah, the eyelids took quite the beating sitting outside over the winter months - Sucks not having money to store it inside. But yeah, they'll be taken care of as soon as the weather permits. There's a paint shop about 20 miles from where I live and I think I might hit them up for a couple cans of color matched paint to do the eyelids and a couple other ideas I might have.

Thanks! The color definitely grew on me. When I first got the car I was a bit iffy on the color. I definitely love it now.

Cars looking great. One of the cleanest on 2gn. But I don't really see anything wrong with the eyelids. They look fine to me.

Great picts! Love the look of the car.

Would be nice to have a car sit for a few months and not accumulate mileage on it.

Thanks guys!

@Matt666 - The eyelids are starting to peel up around the tops of the headlights and are in desperate need of removal/repair.

@MyNeonSaysHi - Thanks, man... It is kinda' nice to be able to park it for a few months, but crappy because I start missing the fun of her after the 3rd week she's parked.

I'm hoping that I'll have a job real soon so I can get a few things done to her that I've been wanting to do, but right now.... All I can do is hope.

Thanks for the compliments, everyone!

Tis true, black is the absence of all colors.

Looks good Mikey. I say go w/o eyelids. I used to be all about them but I grew out of it (for the better, in my opinion). They're a bit played out too.

I'd go without, but I hate the bug-eyed look on the stock headlights... At least on my car. If I had the black housing headlights, I'd probably be more willing to go without. I'm thinking I'm gonna' do the body color matching eyelids as soon as the weather breaks and I can afford to do it.

Kinda'. I'm still gonna' keep her listed for sale and if she sells by the time I get a good job, I'll just be driving the Crown Vic. I'm still gonna' have fun and play with her while I have her, though!
