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.

Mounted the Hertz HV200 temporary, i need to be outside when i make the panels so i'm forced to wait until it get's a bit warmer before i'm able to do it.

Finally got the dash covered in vinyl, only got the panel left wich will be covered in red comfort suede.
