ksport lowering kit 1.5 inch all around

i need to find wheels but very indecisive the diamond stars were sold plus they didnt compliment the car
working on locating an srt4 rear bumper and sides. also need a new rear door than going for paint but not untill my vacation in september

let me know what you think and i know the wheels are a mess but there stocks, also ive been on the neons.org forumn for close to a year and just from what ive seen on this one i like it much more everyone seems helpful towards others, hope to meet some of you in the future.

thanks yeah those were diamond star 15x8's with a crazy front and crazier rear offset but they wouldnt have worked unless i did coilovers and possibly a flare kit, so off they went sold to a vw kid up maine. Thanks guys and any input or ideas would be great!

on a ramp like that.

Specially if the car is running. Our ebrakes suck.
Wheels in the front look like they happened naturally with brake dust and rotor fail!

thanks i like the first one too, as far as the wheels the bronze in the front is darker than the rear and i just actually repalced the brakes all around and tightened the ebrake. but trust me i was a little nervous on the ramp but she was all good

Wow, for some reason that blue 1gn makes me want a 1gn, and that's REALLY hard to do since I usually hate them. Maybe it's the hoodpins... :-k

well i did my tranny drain today, first one of my cars where i could and it went quite smooth. took about an hour and there was very little metal to the magnet which i would assume to be good. Hopefully this coming week going to be picking up my new door.
