I'd say tint the tails and third brake light. Could shave the emblems and door moldings too.

PS: still want the headlights

dont think he's gonna tint the tails & as far as the 3rd brake light im tryin to get him to get the clear LED from Modern. Not sure what he wants to do about the emblems. We've talked about the side moldings, he'd like 2 take um off as he likes the way the look off,but is afraid of the paint being bubbbled underneath.

P.S. havent forgot about you & the headlights :D As soon as i can get him to make up his mind on the white or black housing headlights & ordering them so i can throw um in I'll hit u up Mang :thumbup:

havent had a chance to fix bumper.(not sure whether he wants to do the 03+ front end conversion or jus leave it & flat black the whole car.)

Here is some recent shots of it. Hybrid-srt2001 jus did a clutch install on it (thanks Pimp :thumbsup:) I borrowed the car for the day to detail it & degrease the engine bay so i took some shots of it.



I kno it needs 2 be dropped but the owner prefers it like it is cuz he jus runs over speedbumps lol

racoons are the best! and please no projector,, 2000 neon look really really really RICE with projector headlights.. so dont listen 2 any1 when they say that,,
and id say remove the licence plate in front,, hd lip to accent the hood. =]
and remove the badges on the trunk
tint the clear corners and the tails would look supahh!
i say you go 4 maybe an inch drop all around at least,,

whats he plan on doing with those rims on the car!?
