Love the license plate!

Thane... that might be the only good door off the car. One had a dent that looked like a bullet hole, one was caved in, and the drivers door had a slight bend and surface rust... that said... they're for sale. $100 for all 4

LowNSlow · Post by **LowNSlow** » Thu Mar 24, 2011 10:18 pm

So $25 for one then huh

I've got one of those too

Looks really good, I like it and I love the roof being black! Are you going to remove that pinstripe on the fenders/doors, or is it painted on?

still intrested in that trade?

sidepipe87 · Post by **sidepipe87** » Fri Mar 25, 2011 5:59 pm

John - yep, $25 per door

Gramps - Thanks!

Thanks! I'm not sure yet... It's vinyl. My red 00 had the same stripe and it was so faded underneath it kind of looked like shit. I may take it off. I may add it to the rear once it's painted properly. I'll think about it more.

haha Sam I knew I was going to be doing this when I propsed that trade. I still want that car but I still want to drive this for a while. We'll see what happens lol

I was wondering why I saw no intercooler, rear drums, and ~40 series tires.

I bet you have fun seeing how other people act around you in traffic now. hahaha

sidepipe87 · Post by **sidepipe87** » Fri Mar 25, 2011 7:06 pm

Those aren't 40 series tires... They're stock 205/50/17s under illuminas and eibach pro kit.

Yeah, a kid in a gti was blowing off at me i traffic today lol

sidepipe87 wrote:So the REAL story is... I had a busy ass weekend this past weekend doing work. Here's what happened...

The final result

So yeah... I can't afford an SRT haha. I decided to swap over all the parts from the donor car I'm using the motor from for the '03. Yeah it's a fakie, but it looks pretty good over all. Uriah could appreciate it. And yes, the red paint blatantly doesn't match... I had cans of Flame Red mixed and it wasn't even close to matching which pisses me off because it wasn't cheap... I'm going to have it repainted by my dad's friend eventually. Overall, I'm happy with it. Just a better looking daily driver that is now more exciting to drive

looks good ... I always wanted to do that to my SXT with ATX and cruise control

This tread makes me lolz

Good work sir. I like the black roof in the gloss rather than the flat (like some other red Neon on here)

Going to keep the tag on there?

Hey that's my trunk.

I'm surprised nobody noticed the smaller front brakes and lack of rear disc right away first pics(as well as no intercooler). Ah, I might have been fooled too if I hadn't already seen the car before I saw this thread.

If it's the same GTI I encountered in front of the Miracle Mile, yeah that kid is annoying...

Every GTI/STI/EVO I pass revs up past me and my "ESRT-4".

Then I die a little on the inside.

JeffM · Post by **JeffM** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 8:22 am

What the hell? No one revs up at me.

Thanks guys!

Teej - I could've predicted you wouldn't like it lol. It looks a lot better than it did before anyway.

Lane - I had the parts so why not?

John - the 04SRT 4 plate? I took it off since it's a VA plate. didn't wanna risk getting in trouble over it.

Steven - thanks man! I enjoy it

Toast - No not the miracle mile ricers... this was on 376. I took Kyle past the MM last night to show him the Saturday night Fast and Furious crowd but there were only 3 lifted trucks with underglow there
