Few pics of my 2k Neon

Nothing too special, just the first bath since I have owned it. Got it on a trade about 8 months ago. Paint shines nicely after cleaning, but the body is not the best up close. Car had a front lip on it, but the previous owner tore it up on the way here. I doubt it would have made it into my driveway if it had it anyhow. The car came with what I believe to be, Goldline springs (they are yellowish) on stock struts. I installed the R/T style headlights since the car came with some ugly chrome projectors that hardly "projected" light at all. Tinted stock tails will be going on soon, along with some Slipstreams when the current tires wear out. Also, want to strip the nasty tint off the rear windows...(any advice there?)

Just installed some new(er) carpet and have some new oem
floormats on the way. Old carpet had some holes/stains/smells in it. My favorite change so far. Leather is in pretty good shape....

Not too much done- 2k with a '02 R/T swap (got it this way). I have added a Thermal rear section, AEM intake, MPx TB, Granatelli Coil and wires, Prothane race inserts and booger bushings.

Main problem with the car is the intake secondaries are not opening, not sure if it is the MTV motor or a wiring/pcm problem??? I need to fix that, and I want some new struts, but the car runs great otherwise and is pretty strong for what it is.

Looks great! BTW I don't think those tails are "stock"... they look nice to me.

Nice and clean car! I love your ride and that stance! The "R/T" injector cover is pretty neat too.

You need to get a civic type R lip on the bumper now.

This car is so clean. Makes me wanna get another one and just lower it with some skirts like mine used to be.

Thanks for the comments, guys!

Yeah - I know they aren't stock. I actually installed these-they came off of ebay. I like them, there is just chrome that shows around the edges and that bothers me. I could just paint the chrome, but I am gonna try some tinted stock tails. These will probably be up for sale soon.

That's funny, I think that's what the car had before.

Actually, here's a pic of what it had-I really liked that:

The guy I got the car from ruined it on the way to drop the car off. It was cracked and wasn't worth repairing. Looking at that pic really makes me wish it was still there.

The civic lip is pretty cheap on ebay. You can get one and paint it then swap in onto the bumper then it will look like that again!

Damn. Get a lip back on there. That one had such nice fitment. Glad those headlights are gone, too.
