So wat are the odds of going to a salvage yard and say finding a bumper for my neon? i need a silver one either 00-02 or the lights and 03+ bumper. Think i'll have any luck at a salvage yard or am i better off lookin sumwheres else?

Well, considering I can't wave a dang stick without seeing a Neon on the road the junk yards would have to have a few of em'.

well i need a rear mine is cracked right up the middle and is barely together, but if i could get some 03+ full kits i'd love it, just wondering if salvage yards would be a decent place to look for this gear especially a front one

They may be a good place... but shipping would be killer. I can grab a rear bumper off of a 00 Plymouth that is silver. I don't know how I would get it home to even ship it.

The last time I went to a junkyard there were almost no neons, so parts for me to find are super rare and in horrible condition

The local yards I go to never really have much for 00+ neons. TONS of 95-99. When a 00+ is in they get picked to pieces, but then again, thats just in my area.

Its stupid around here trying to find salvage yards with anything good, mostly 1st gens, and rarely any 2gns, never any Srt-4's which make sense seeing as I have maybe seen 3 on the road before.

If your that worried about it coming off:
Just take off the fascia, bolt the plate to the rear bumper, tape the license plate light next to the plate so light still shines on it while your driving.
Remember, the rear fascia is just a cover, not a bumper, so as long as you still have a plate with a functioning light on the rear its still legal. And it would be safer than a rear fascia flapping in the wind ready to fly off the car!

Man, too bad you don't live near me. I've got a junkyard within 1 mile with a decent amound of 1gens and 2gns. Silver ones too.

Oh, that, they wouldn't have. They've got some 2000's and some 2001's, but nothing any newer than that.

or find an LKQ yard near you. I work for them and they can get ANYTHING you need for your Neon b/c they have a nationwide network of salvage yards
hey JonnyMopar, Which junkyard you live near in Mass with alot of Neons? I know Advance Auto Recycling in Cumberland RI had some Neons and a couple of SRT4's B/C I've seen some of their parts on Ebay on the LKQ pages
