Although the paint seems to be uneven, it's a nice effect. Nice work, but I'd recommend finding some UV reactive paint and painting the internals of the case UV Blue.

[snow99dohc]

the paint is just extremly dusty, and ive got paint already along with some uv reavtive fans on the. dont know about painting the inside of the case though.

haha, love the ghetto ass dodge neon photo-chop on the wallpaper.

Relating to the mod:
You really should paint with UV blue on the inside, it would give such an awesome effect.

[crenn]

Wipe the dust off then.....

[snow99dohc]

haha, if that's really your car, no offence, but it's crap =o

[snow99dohc]

its my car minus the gold and extreme lowering

[red2kg]

what about the hood?, and chreysler neon, omega.

*cough* DODGE NEON. Dodge is affialited with Chrystler. I believe they're both GMC companies. Anywho, that trend isn't uncommon -- Ford make the Crown Vic, while Lincoln makes the Towncar (Which is rebadged Crown Vic with the lincoln grille).

Yeah, that's what i thought. Brown CF hood though? ;)

I have much experience with spotting photoshop jobs, I photoshop cars myself.

[snow99dohc]

its a gangsta gold cf hood and those are both dodge neons. and dodge is a subdivsion of dalimer chrysler.

Wow.. you guys are GREAT at modding but TERRIBLE on your car history! :D

The Neon was marketed under all three Chrylser labels.. Dodge, Chrysler, and until they killed it Plymouth as well. So you could have a Chrysler Neon, Dodge Neon or a Plymouth Neon. Chrylser is the parent company. Chrysler wasn't associated to GMC, but rather they aquired AMC (American Motors Co.). Then later Chrysler aquired/merged with the Daimler Corp which owned Mecedes Benz. GMC is a division of General Motors along with Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Saturn, and the now discontinued Oldsmobile.

You are obviously correct about how lots of cars are just rebadged by the parent companies and sold by their divisions. When it comes to Ford/Lincoln/Mercury you were off a bit. The Crown Vic is the same car as the Mercury Grand Marquis but I don't believe the Lincoln Towncar shares the same chasis or any of the body panels of the CV or the GM. The closest match to them in the Lincoln division would most likely be the Continental.

Well I know all this really doesn't matter in this existance we call life, but I figured "what the heck" maybe someone out there is interested in it..:D

EDIT: Another little side note.. The Neon has been discontinued and replaced by the new Dodge Calibre.

EDIT2: The whole Crown Vic/Gran Marquis/Towncar was bugging me.. so I had to do a little more research. Apparently they DID merge all three onto the Ford "Panther" platform in 2003. So I stand corrected. I apologize for NOT verifying this before my post. Ok thats all .. carry on :D

Dodge Calibur. CALIBUR.

Dodge Calibur. CALIBUR.

Good catch on the spelling, but unfortunately its no cigar.. ;)

It should have been calibEr as in Dodge Caliber (http://www.dodge.com/en/caliber/index.html). :p
