I've been busy with work and stuff. I was out working storm duty for a couple weeks after Irene. I've honestly been discouraged about the car for awhile so I've been staying off. The body just looked so bad after the deer. I found out insurance covered all the damage just recently so I decided to let the neon live on and fix her up.

si lip for sure! it's the last finishing touch to round of the skirts and bumper.

Like the wheels. What kind are they?

the wheels are tenzo type M. 17X7.

Thats all I took today. She's a 06 IX MR with 38K on her. Bone stock besides a harness bar. I love that thing. too bad its loaned to me while my car was getting finished. Probably a good thing too 19MPG doesn't work too well as a daily driver. Fun car to ride/drive tho. just ask shawn (SLAW)

.

Both cars are wrapped in Donlops. The neon has the Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec 225/45/17 and the Evo has an SP Sport model tire 245/45/17 (not sure exactly which).

me likey..

I think it would look even better if you went lower in the front.

How much did all that painting and body work cost?

And that was in the answer to your first question to boot

Your car is looking sexy sir. But damn you for having an SRT rear bumper with the 3Ds. You are making it hard for me to stay with the idea I have now

you know what... now that i actually look at it, you win

oh you guys.....

don't worry Danteneon I don't have an srt hood yet. I almost did if my buddy didn't find a replacement hood for 100. My stock hood was rusted through on the front.

as for the stock evo. I've never driven anything more fun. The only draw back is that u need dirt or grass to effectively do doughnuts. The thing loves to grip. Hell it's easier to get my neon sideways on pavement.

That looks great. If only you didn't have to have a front plate. There's something about bringing home a car with brand new paint on it. Only problem is it's all downhill from here.

Car looks so clean! Idk why but the front end looks so high off the ground even though you're lowered.

Wow, I think for the first time, I've seen aftermarket wheels that aren't BBS that look REALLY good!

I really need to paint my car. New front bumper, rear bumper, and rear driver's side door first (no Kevin, I still haven't put the bumper on that I bought from you a year and a half ago).

Car looks great and I'll bet that it feels better now.
