for those of you who don't know, the PT and Neon share the same chassis. I have already posted the difference's between the front control arms. Now I present to you some pics of the PT front frame:
If someone has some detailed pics of the Neon frame, please post

2000 Neon MTX swap with '02 R/T PCMOlha Koba, a psychologist in Kyiv, said that “anger and hate in this situation is a normal reaction and important to validate.” But it is important to channel it into something useful, she said, such as making incendiary bombs out of empty bottles.

I have some pics of 2000 vs. 2005 frames I can throw up when I get time/feel like it.
Had the wreckers tell me the part numbers are different 00-02/03-05 and tried to convince me they wouldn't fit. While I'm sure the P/N's are different I can say for sure the 05 fits on the 00 no problem, just in case anyone else is getting told this.

They are all the same fit wise. The differences are in the bracing underneath.
2.0
5272341AA '00/'01 $582.00 superceded from 5272238AE ('00)5272238AG ('01)
5272341AB '02 $757.00
5272341AC '03 $352.00
5272341AF '04/'05 $407.00
2.4
5290203AB '03/'04 $752.00
5290203AC '05 $814.00
So be careful what number you use. I would at this time, specify the '03 2.0 pn# if ordering from a dealer. The pic with the red arrow is the only difference between the SRT and the standard crossmember. Is it worth $450 +/- to have that clinch nut to fasten the pipe to? A drill, drill bit and tap are far cheaper...
