    This is my 2003 dodge neon. it went through many stages of different upgrades, you may see it with a giant wing even.. lol but that is gone.. here is my current setup. let me know what u think leave me a comment in the guestbook

I do all of my own work on my car. i don't like to wait for shops to do it or pay them to do something that i can do and then i get the satisfaction of having done it myself. however if i cant do something i have to take it in.. i hate doing that...

Goth this a while ago, but now i just ground down the edges a bit for it to fit on the neon bumper.(was for an srt-4) cant wait to put it on like many other things... lol

Ebay Catch Can. bought it for 20 bucks and i think it came with everything i need to do it except vacuum lines. but im hoping to install it as soon as i can. however im at school now without my car so it will have to wait. but ill post pics when i finish installing it.

next thing i plan to do is change out the lights behind the gauges  and the hvac for these and make them light up blue. ill post pictures when i get it done. this is a good forum on how to do it. http://forums.neons.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=267477

Done with this just need to get pictures of it at night.

hey i have a question for you i just put in blue leds in my gauges but my fuel gauge isn't lighting up very well did you have that problem? i'm thinking that if i replace the smaller bulbs with blue leds it will light up?

Are you talking about the HVAC surround? or the hvac controls panel?

Neon looks good brah, I recomend painting your grill black to give it a more aggressive look, I just did that on my ride and it looks sweet. 5 stars for sure, check out my whip sometime.
