The definition of a NEON
A great domestic compact car whose rapidly disappearing taillights are most typically seen through the windshields of Honda Civics, Chevy Cavaliers, and other assorted shitboxes.

Well, i'm bored, it's raining, i'm broke and didn't get much done today...

Here's a Tiny update:

Started modifying the sideskirts, cut of the piece that connects to the car, so i can mount it on the car, and fill in the space between It and the sideskirt itself.. The plan is to do it this WE, but the weather sucks and my grandparents garage is 10cm to short to get the Neon inside :evil:

Got some filler on the the corners of the bumper, i put on a wery thick layer so you might see some minor running :roll:

But the good news is that it's nearly ready for primer, just a bit of sanding and bondoe. And the wheater is perfect to paint in so i can finally get some work done :D

From the looks of it, a body kit is a helluva job. Is it always like that or are you unlucky ?
I always thought it was plug n play.
