Got a couple of early gifts from my awesome wife! Let me know what you think, sorry bout the dirty car.
 I've had the steering wheel for a month or two and the front strut bar, modded.......gotta love neon.  I was very pleased with my front strut bar, a little heavy but well built. Front strut bar OBX JDM rear strut bar 7th gen wheel JDM Tails - Thanks Goferris            Still by far my favorite picture of my car, my wife and little girl!

neon front bar I take it? Looks really good. Now all you need are the plastic covers for the rear strut bar.
edit: maybe I shoulda read the title post before I started talking LOL. either way it looks really good. I would also invest in a 7th gen short shifter. Makes the interior look really nice.

I drove it with just the rear for a few days before i put the front one on, then i really noticed a difference after some spirited driving. Thanks Batman! Its always a work in progress!

The trunk mat is actually a foam that you can lay down in a garage or use it how you want. It came in big puzzle like squares and i cut it to fit the hatch, to be honest it came out nice it just needs to have like a light carboard backing on it so its more sturdy. It was like $12.00 you can find it at a hardware store, i found mine at a BigLots. My front strut bar $40.00 shipped Tuna Tom on ebay. -------------------- Sorry, no animated sigs allowed.
