    Well it started out as a joke just to have eye lids until I could afford the Diamond Clear head lights and make some vinyl ones, but I never got that far. But yes, it really did have electrical tape eye lids.

    Before:


    I had to sand down those little nubs and stuff on the housing of the head light:


    After, if you look closely you can see the lines where the electrical tape over lapped. Over all not a bad job for 1/2 hour and 5 cents worth of electrical tape:

    Well after my mechanic fucked me over 3 times on this rebuilt engine (a $6,000 mistake) I was planning on keeping it forever. Than it started being well... a Neon. Chyrsler products are know for 3 things, how good their suspentions are, how bad their automatic trannys are and wierd electrical problems that never seem to go away. Well that latter of those started happening to me and I just got sick of it, sold the car not running for $1000 took the $10,000 kick in the nuts, (bought the car and a minivan load of extra parts for $5,000) and bought an MR2 that I promptly wrecked. I just dong have good luck with cars, lol.
