You made vast improvements. Personally I would have kept the old wheels and tint/smoke the front side markers. That would be one clean *** little ???? then.

Those rims were beat, you just can't tell from the pictures. The lip was chipping off...

I am surprised the F-Body guys are for eyelids, don't do it Kenny.

I agree, with some tint it would that much better.

On a side note, it must be weird being a member of a website so biased and closeminded that you can't even say the name of your car because it is censored...

I think it looks way better now. I wasn't feeling the vinyl, it seemed like too much. Nice Neon!

it doesnt bother me, lol

i have many friends who own, or did own camaros, firebirds, cobras, etc.

yeah, they can be real dicks most of the time making fun of my neon, but its all in fun and i love their cars as much as i love mine!

i will forever be an american muscle guy at heart, i just sunk WAY too much money into this and cant really take the hit to get rid of it
