Default Extremists Anyone?

I am still new here, I want to know who is running sewer-pipe exhausts, overtly designed body-kits, or stage XXX camshafts? Who has flowmasters or cut-outs, or open exhaust? Who completed the SRT4 swap and is taking out Corvettes or who is running 200 HP shots of nitrous oxide? Who's sittin' on 20's with 15's in the trunk? And don't forget the pics to back up your claims!!!

(My sport coupe wont work in this category, yet..)

yeah but im tired of dumping unnecessary money into neons that still wont be worth anything....ive got so many other plans right now,
ive got to finish my 68 valiant project....want to lift my durango (5.5" suspension with 35's)........and if i get this job that ive been waiting for, im gonna get a WRX, a crotch rocket, and my wife will be getting a new grizzley 4-wheeler...so yeah, not much point in modding neons right now

Ouch Spud, but you have a point, the resale value of these cheap neons are alot less once they've been modified. Now, come on people. I got a neighbor with a body kit and a fart can on his neon and I have seen others with body kits and mufflers. If money was no object of course we wouldn't be rollin' in neons, SO forget the expensive mods, what mods if any do you people have?

WRX??? noooooooo! i was actually about to buy one before i bought my pontiac. if its not an sti then i dont think its worth it. the trannys in the regular wrxs break very easily.

but anyways of course a neon isnt worth much, at all..especially 13 years later, but do you not still have a passion for modding neons anymore?
