I'm explaining why people use FTL when describing your car.
My SRT-4 is my daily. It could be pink for all I care as long as it keeps getting faster and faster and getting 30mpg.
Please. Let's not start comparing my cars with yours

I have a 800-900hp Camaro SS with a mod list as long as your arm. It's been in 2 Calendars, about to be in GMHighTech Performance and multiple other local magazines. It'll go throught the 1/4 at 140mph from a standstill.

I have a 2009 Corvette LS3. It's 20th fastest in the country in stock form. It's won car shows multiple times in stock form, and won stock classes. I was the first in the state of Maryland to have a Cyber Gray car.

Finally I own, and have owned the stock 1/4 mile record for SRT-4's since 2006. My current SRT-4 has 80K, no LSD, and goes through the 1/4 at 13.50 on street tires w/ a 2.1 60ft. I have a build thread on it, it's less then impressive.

Now I don't know why you're so ass hurt with me, and I've been trying to be cool rather then bash apart that thing you own. However if you wanna go toe to toe with car achievements and what we both own, then fine. Let me know. Otherwise chill out and take some constructive criticism

How can a stock car have a build thread? *LOL*

To the OP: Your car is FTL. PhillyLS1 pretty much nailed everything on the head when he said it.

Unless you are a cow or a cop.... the black and white theme doesn't work. Didn't even work for Michael Jackson.

maybe u didnt say it but it came across like u did.
i dont mind comments good or bad but bashing someone progress log isnt cool at least there doing there thing, if someone posts they should have at least one good thing to say. phillyls1 if u want to say something off topic (anything besides questions or comments about the progress of my car) do it in a pm or a different thread. this has gone on long enough it is time to get back on topic ( my car)

i will. i had the shutter delay thing on. i cant decide how to break up the two-tone with a thick white or silver pin stripe. if i do white ill do white rims or silver ill do chrome rims. ummmmm????

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Mon Jul 27, 2009 10:03 am

I would do silver personally especially if you use a metallic blue it would flow better in my opinion. Plus a clean 5 spoke chrome rim (like centerline storms) would look sick.

i wish i work at a shop i love working on cars, its bout all i think about, my neon and my next car a 300zx twin turbo, thats bout 3 years off

here r some pics of the 300zx

marakka · Post by **marakka** » Mon Jul 27, 2009 12:58 pm

Thats a

ing example of a 300. I've never seen one look THAT bad.

Its your progress log and you post up to show progress and gain input. The one thing I hate about 2gn is how nice everyone is. I'm in the Army and I don't live by the rule "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all". You don't like the comments.... maybe you should not post up?

I understand you don't have the money to get the body kit painted right away. Well then why hang it? I understand you need to hang it to get it lined up and make sure there is nothing that needs fixed. That can be done in a matter of a few hours. It doesn't need to be done weeks or months ahead of time. I actually had my kit painted prior to it ever going on my SXT.

Next is that interior. Horrid and horrible. Its overkill with a lot of cheap items in it. I think I'd not have such a problem with the car (Yes I do not like your car in its current state) if it didn't have the typical ricer interior.

The color scheme is a good one. I wouldn't throw a 3rd color in there. I'd do a stepped line with the same black that you use on top. That way anything will work on the car and you aren't limited to color matching or bringing a theme into play. Centerline storms are ALWAYS a win on a Neon. Or if you did a black mesh centered wheel with a color matched blue lip.... that would be kind of sick too. If the black matched the black that you do on the upper half of the car of course.

wtf is that what this is???? jesus ive been doing it all wrong

I understand you don't have the money to get the body kit painted right away.

u have no idea of my finances, i have no debt i own both cars (wife's mini cooper & neon) and have a good savings. the only thing im waiting on is where zack (sxxxt) and i both have free time to work on it then paint it.

overkill???? so u dont think 20" rims is overkill??? (on a neon) come on

just do what u want. dont listen to anyone. its all just suggestions. just like this one either A go with a white interior and black exterior but dont try to incorporate blue in there either. but hey thats just a small opinion i aint hatting. my interior was blue then i went back to oem black and im going for a blue exterior and black interior theme now.

im redoing my interior i might not do as much white but i like the black and white so ill at least do a little

Oh my bad. I didn't realize that your finances were so in order so that you could wait for someone to paint the body kit when you and your friend have time to save money and do it yourselves. Man... how would I have ever missed that. I'm sorry for making that mistake.

My car is a show car. Far from what yours is. We want to talk finances, I have more invested in a motor sitting in storage than you have invested in your mods and the purchase price of your car. Don't go swinging an e-penis you don't have my friend. The 20's on my car put it in a class of its own. My car saw 3000 miles last year and 0 miles this year. So back to 20's being overkill.... On a show car? Not at all especially when its the only one.

As for the stepped paint here's a pic:

You are the epitome of a ricer. Wether you chose to acknowledge it or not thats up to you. To you I'm a hater. To me you are a ricer.

Gaudy painted interior ------ check
unpainted body kit ----- check
cheap mismatched LED mods ----- check
stock suspension ------- check
stock wheels ------ check
countless ebay parts ---- check

<----- thats for you ricer.

Neon4Life · Post by **Neon4Life** » Mon Jul 27, 2009 5:23 pm

wtf someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. whats the deal dude. hes just trying to mod a neon like everyone else. not everyone has money to just do everything at once. i mean dam i once too had an unpainted kit and 3 colors on my car but i had money to get it all done at the time but hes working on getting everything done. so cut him some slack. and SXXXT wich is the one helping him is gonna do a good job painting it too cause they work at a shop with a booth and he went to college for it. so just let him have an unpainted kit on his car.

sxxxt · Post by **sxxxt** » Mon Jul 27, 2009 6:03 pm

haha. haha i turn heads even with my unpainted bondo showin cut up neon lol if i cared id spray paint it but i made that mistake once i spraypainted my whole bodykit and when i went to paint it my boss told me the kits got a gel coat so you have to sand all of that spray paint off. FUCK that suckd. so i deal with it. ppl come to my shop and talk to me almost everyday just cuz my car is a work in progress. it is a progress log. i mean fuck i started mine almost a year ago and im still not finished with mine. shyt happens. i moved, struggled with a job went bak to school then finally got a good job and im tryin to get stable and once i get stable then i can finish it no problem. my todo list is rediculious but its a work in progress and as long as i keep workin it will get done. same with everyone else. check out my progress log later tonight and youll see why i had to take a break from my car. i agree with everyone one. yea some parts are a little corny. but ppl make mistakes. i went thru that stage when i first had my car. i had ebay list that didnt stop but then i realized i need to do custom stuff and make it my own. do somethin different, if i can. its hard to be unique and not everyone is gonna like ur style. but fuck if we were all the same it would b a boring world.
like i said check out my progress long and see what iv been up to and my todo list.
