I've always been iffy on the yellow/black bumble bee look but I think the shiny yellow lip helps dramatically. Very Very, huge improvement for me aesthetically.

Congrats on graduating! I totally missed out on your log, been super busy. Love the yellow lip, really grabs attention! Headliner is sweet and nice headunit! I took the Kenwood out of the red car before I sold it. :lol:

So heres the deal, Insurance was gonna give me 7300 for the car, but since its my first car and I always planned on keeping it and building it to my liking, I'm buying it back 1k and there giving me 5800. So my grandpa knows a bunch of people with some shops so might be able to get some deals on some stuff. Definitely gonna need some frame work done and figure out while its only running in one gear. But anyway itll get done. Already got me an SRT-D bumper on the way and my front lip is just scraped up so its still good. Can't wait to get the neon it the state it was, or a little better.

Sadly for now I'm gonna be rocking the black and yellow, I know I know, but trust me eventually itll all be color matched. So don't hate me lol :D

Sorry about your wreck man. The headliner looks sweet. I'd leave it off the doors though. That would remind me of a 90's econo car.

I've PM'd SkaterKing about my buddy's hood, but I guess he never went through with it, but my buddy has a stock Solar Yellow SRT-4 hood in Ashville, NC for $100. That's all he wants. Scoop and all. I can send you his number if you are seriously interested, otherwise just lemme know.
