I know the idea has been introduced before, but since I actually drive one of these cars I thought that, for my first TF kitbash, I'd turn Classics Cliffjumper into a Dodge Neon (apologies for the crummy-quality pictures):

It's a little rough, but it turned out better than I thought/feared it might. The only thing it's missing are license plates. It'd be cool if I could buy a giant Autobot rubsign for the roof of my car to make them match.

did you repaint the headlights or shape them?

I actually shaped them with a Dremel before painting them.

I filled all the pre-existing gaps (grills, etc.) with epoxy putty, filed them down, then used the Dremel engraving attachment for the details. That part didn't take as long as I thought it would; it took longer to figure out what I wanted to do about the doors, and getting the back end just the right shape took a while, too.
