RE: My black/red 04 sxt!
ORIGINAL: DevilsReject
Something to remember, on the weekends, people dont always post as much....not to mention the fact it was St. Patrick's day. Dont' take silence as flaming. I've seen some posts take a week to get a response, and I've seen some posts get 50 in a week. To be honest, I'm glad to see you finally posted pictures of your ride.
For starters, I think the black wheels with a red lip would not only look great, but it would definitely be different. My thought on that would be to find a wheel you like and go for an all black wheel with no chrome lip. This way, if you curb check it or get road damage to the rim of any kind.....all you will see is a black spot....not a shiny chrome spot. Makes it easier to hide the damage unless you are up close.
Not a fan of the graphics or the floormats/shields, but to each their own. Graphics can be done tastefully, but like LowSlowNeon, they arent for me.
The gauges and the heat/AC ***** look great.....although I probably would have done a black **** with a red stripe....would make the flames stand out more and give you a much better overall look. The Dodge plate in the door is great as well.
Overall, the wheels and kit will really set the car off a ton more. The Neon has always been a favorite of mine as far as modding goes. The cars can be made to look ridiculously sweet....Good luck with what you do....just make sure to let us see the progress/finished work.
Opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one....so dont take anything too personally. You may think alot of us flame you on purpose, but we do not. Too many people get on forums and start faking the funk and saying this and that.....but they dont or cant back it up. I'm sure you've seen it.....and even some of the people who do this know cars quite well.....so they make it harder to realize the person is bullsh*tting us.....

RE: My black/red 04 sxt!
So I might not get rims and tires after all if I dont get sponsored fully for both or the doors Im going to either paint my stock rims a gloss black and do a custom red lip I already have wider michelin tires than stock and getting some prokit springs I can drop on stock rims . Or trade my sxt in on a 2005 bright red modded scion tc which is 160 hp stock and this has some bolt ons so I may get 200 hp out of it and going to turbo it if I get it . So its up in the air about me keepin my sxt or not . I really want some bigger rims and tires but em gettin the drop no matter what .

My ride looks just as nice as all the other sxts and neons on here but noone will ever vote for my ride for the month and a I havent got very many responses on her. Mines at least more different than like lows and spikes . There both just black with almost the same mods but me I have a bit more into mine and almost sponsored fully for 18inch rims and tires and drop and vertical doors . Will post pics of all that stuff on here plus my new ghost graphics.

RE: My black/red 04 sxt!
Do something different with it if you're not getting the attention you want. In general though most people aren't a fan of graphics on the car. To me it is usually an eye sore. There are very few instances where I think it adds to the car. The only example I can think of where I like them is for a rally car. And what are you trying to say about my car...that it's just your everyday neon? I can pretty much assure you there is maybe only a few that look just like mine.

Im gettin attention with what she looks like now everyday. I just need rims and tires and drop . I love the invador hood and cf trunk and love the looks of the avs spoiler in cf . not to keen on bodykits but for a show ride might have to go with one if fully sponsored for the evo5. I may go with cf graphics if I get a cf hood and trunk . Yours is awesome lookin low especalliy your headlights . Im just lookin for a way different look for my shows this year . More wilder the more attention I get for her at my carshows more classes I place in also. Cf is very rare for graphics.
