2005 Dodge Neon

[DaneckiAP]

Here's what she looked like when I got her 3 years ago.



And then I got back from my first deployment to Afghanistan and started putting some money into her.









And then I got bored of how the front end looked, so I did a '02 swap on the front fascia. I personally think the '02 bumpers look the greatest, among all the Neon years.




Of course, the Chrysler Grille. Bought it from a forum member on 2GN.org who lives in Canada. They seem to like our Dodge ones, and we seem to like their Chrysler ones. Works out nice =)



Custom fitted Civic Type-R front lip.



And some more random pics......






Currently have a set of stock, folding side-mirrors that I will be turning in for paint, got a set of MM Inserts on their way, and retro headlights being built and finished up hopefully within the next week. The front end is painted now, just waiting till I get my mirrors complete and my retros. Then I'll be taking updated pictures.

Any comments, feedbacks, suggestions, or haters are welcome

Thanks.

Thanks man. There's a bunch of random work I've done to the car. Not a lot of guys tint their own taillights with tint spray, but I did (NiteShade from modernperformance.com). My side markers I wired to blink with my signals. et cetera...

Thanks man. The motor is stock I'm going to be getting out of the Marines soon, and I gotta budget my money elsewhere. I was so hoping to get it boosted after I got back from this last deployment, but if I didn't owe so much on damn thing... (ya, boot little me 3 years ago jumped into the big pool of high-interest rates). But to answer your question, I believe the brochure says 130HP lol.

Thanks man Appreciate it. Means a lot after all the work I've done to it. The most common expression I get is the dumb-founded look as they try and figure what my car is lol.

*UPDATE*

So today I'll be dropping my folding stock side mirrors off at the paint shop (guy is hooking me up for no charge). Then all I got left is my retros. Can't wait for those to come in.

Here's a another picture of my painted front bumper. Still waiting to get more stuff put on to get better pictures. Just feel like keeping everyone waiting. The only other thing I may snag is an SRT-4 hood from my buddy since he got a Kaminari one for his SRT-4.

Anyway, here she is. And just fyi, in the picture you'll see how my eyelids don't fit flush on the headlamps. Those projectors are eBay POS, but the retros I got being built right now will be able to have the eyelids sit flush.

friggin sweet! I know what you mean about when people try to figure out what your car is... I had the same thing with my cobalt. The C/F hood and body kit I had on it made it look like an Evo.....

I am going to try and get an SRT-8 Cherokee and then mod that

Nice. Not really a fan of the Cobalts, but they are some pretty b.a. cars.

I have always been a fan of Jeeps and the SRT-8 is one of my dream cars that is actually somewhat in the realm of being feasable.

I had to teach Westgate how to use the quote option....... HAHAHAHA

As for Jeeps? I can't seem to grasp the concept of an SRT-8 Jeep. Granted I know it's cool, and fast and all that jazz, but it's a jeep. Not bashing, just lost is all....
