I just got a neon and im about to paint it when i came across a V-fiber body-kit. Iv never installed one before, and im not sure how to make it look good? It seems to be a little wider than the rest of the car (about 4" on each side) I can attach the center areas but around the wheels theres not much to attach to.Do i have to make a bracket? should i bondo the bumbers to the fenders? It seems that if i force the sides of the bumpers in it could crack it? Replies to this message: hellcat1988 (Apr 27, 2009 9:12 am)

Replying to: xxx98neon (Apr 26, 2009 4:42 pm) DO NOT BONDO IT TO THE FENDERS! Body kits aren't supposed to need bondo on a neon. If you look at the old bumper there's a bracket on the bumper and a stud on the body. The brackets fit over the studs to locate the bumper on the body and the plastic fender well liner are what hold it in back. If it doesn't fit even close to well, then I'd say you got the wrong one. It should be the same width as the car. 4" more on each side is WAY more then the "fitting" that an aftermarket bumper should need. I'm picking up a Dodge Neon Extreme Dimensions Viper Front Bumper for mine from 2K Racing here in the next few months. Be cool to see you out on the streets.
