You should mod it out!

its actually pretty clean when there wasn't snow on it... it should be, its an 05 with only 28k miles on it

it decided to snow pretty bad the day after I brought the car to the body shop. kinda sucks because the tires on the Neon are terrible, it took me like 20 mins to get down my driveway this morning

haha looks like a truck
I GOT MY CAR BACK TODAY! biggrin.gif

I had them repaint the rear bumper too. it was sunfaded and scratched a little, thats how it's always been, its how I bought the car... so this is the first time I've seen it all shiny and nice

I just have some crappy camera phone pics I took at work, I'll get some good ones later

the rear bumper BEFORE (this is the best pic I could find of it, I tried not to take too many pics from the rear because of it. plus it was right on the ledge so it didn't really show in pictures too much)

YAY!! I'm happy for you !!!!!!!! That's great, cause its depressing seeing damage on a celica even if it is your' retraded baby" ;p
I'm glad you finally got it back. smile.gif My rear bumper just started doing that exact
same thing in the same spot. I have a spot like that about 2"x 2".
Must be all that invisable oil thats going out the exhaust.
Was it only on the passenger side?

JDM guy made me do it.
I'm very very happy to have it back!



Randy, you're lucky you only have a 2" spot! the fading on mine wasn't only on the passenger side, it was all the way across the bumper on that ledge (I just don't have a good picture of it). it was like that when I bought the car and I've tried everything (scratch remover, buffing, paint cleaner, you name it) with no luck... but repainting worked pretty well biggrin.gif



I did get it back with a new problem though

looks great, glad you got it taken care of without too much of a hassle

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
