Great looking Neon .like the color . Sprayable bondo or glaze you can find in any auto paint store or website . Most common I think is slick sand . If you do a lot of dodywork it is great stuff . instead of going through diferent grid sand paper you can put 2 coats on top of 36 or 40 grid and fine sand it. Plus it has some shine to it so you can see how straight bodywork is .

Also, the little air inlets in front of the rear fenders don't really flow with the rest of the bodywork too well. I think you should build up the area around them so they look like cutouts from the panel rather than tack-ons. That would also make them consistent with the Esprit's rocker-panel inlets, giving your car a more recognizable "Lotus" look. (Also, am I mad or does the left one protrude more than the right one? Might just be lighting.)

As far as rear brake cooling ducts they are the same style as headlights they go half way in and half way out of the bodyline . Originaly I thought about smothing out the sharp edge on top of the door and rear but more i looked at it the more i liked it gives more agressive character to the car . the front clam has cut outs in front of the wheels and all the air intakes so there are some sharp edges too . And the whole Lotus look , anyone who is familiar with Elise will recognise that its Lotus .
Looking at the car now there are few things that could have been done diferent , but trying to change and create new lines and look from scratch its harder than one might think .
