What's going to happen to the NEO? Stock rb26 twins maybe?
tbh im not really sure. for now its 320hp is good enough for me (its not a track car) so I'm going with looks before performance.... but when it comes time I'm not sure if i should go with a stock twin turbo setup from the 26 or a massive top mount turbo like this
got a carbon fiber hood from California.... actually surprised a company in the states makes parts for a car that is not legal in their country
In Japan, body parts are quite a bit more expensive for quality stuff, so companies like CC(carbon creations), AIT, Seibon, ect make parts for mad tyte JDM cars that wouldn't otherwise have a market in North America so they can export them to Japan and other countries that have buyers.
HUGE UPDATE:
my plan was to "widen" this car using fibreglass front fenders and fibreglass rear over fenders that i purchased from china.... after test fitting them on i realized this was a bad idea, the fitment was horrible, and the panels are so thin and flimsy. so i scrapped that idea and widened the original front fenders and rear quarter panels in all steel. it took about 2 months to complete but it was so worth it! heres about a million pics of the process.
rear
fronts
I then sold the xxr's ( they were only temporary) and put the car back on stocks temporarily. it looks really weird because of how wide the car now is. it didn't take long before i purchased a set of 18" gunmetal on chrome lip te37 wheels. i'll be installing them after the car is painted.
the car is now in for paint, the colour: PBJ- Laser Blue Pearl. i saw a dodge dart at the auto show and fell in love with the colour so right there i wrote down the paint code.
