Uh lets see, (within 1 year)
-$450 Sound System Sub and amp only
-$1800 Wheels and Tires
-$3000 Car accident insurance would not cover includes body kit (i crashed into a parking pole pretty hard when i used to have an apartment)
-$Neons were free- PEPBOYS
$210 Tint
About $4k
I would never convert my car into a manual, but i could have been only $2k away from a Petit Supercharger.

Easier than anything i ever did, mine was pretty fast (about 1 hr, the sides are easy just mount the tube with the clips mark for the screws and bingo!~ The front will probably be the hardest for you since you probably have the black engine cover that goes under and is attached to your bumper and other engine plastic protecting parts, it only took me 3 min, I say installing the tubes only took me about 20 min, It took me about 40 minutes figuring out where and how to run the wires and where to put the switch, and transformer. A clean look ill post pics later of engine (how i ran the wires) Come to socal and ill help you install

Really? Hmm. Well i'll just make an order for the underbody lights and some extra mounting hardware. I have 6 interior tubes that have no home, so i was going to put 2 in my fender vent area and in my front bumper.

I'm just waiting for a 60-70 degree weekend again.

Sorry, I didn't looks close enough. I think I'll eventually go the R Magic lip etc route as well with my WB. I like having the CF going around the bottom though it really looks quite nice.

Why would you never make your car manual? Its 1000x better for RX8s. Now for V8s that is a different story. You cant stall a rx8 effectively.

Zumn, you should make a thread about your Neon install. That way people who want to do this will have an idea what they are getting into.

I know i have an order of Upgrades:
Tint
UnderGlow
ExoticSpeed Header

my car is at the shop getting some new drill/slotted rotors install and a new spoiler. but this is what it looks like before the mods, i was also wondering if my car would look good with chrome rims? i track my car so not sure if chrome falls under the whole racing look.
