all you 2000-2002 neons what have you done to make your front grill more aerodynamic. It just seems like a freaking brick with such a open grill and front airdam.

I went to aco hardware and got a piece of gutter guard for about 3 dollars and put it in the bottom opening. looks just as good as a custmon made one and alot cheaper.

Hes talking about stopping wind resistance.
Anyways, you need air hitting your radiator in order to keep your engine cool.

I love my 01-02 R/T ACR front end. I think they look poo w/o that little 1" lip around the bottom edge.
Most of the "aero" kits you buy are not aero at all anyway. Wind tunnel testing is unGodly expensive.
I'd bet DCX did a bit more testing than any Super-Euro-Japa-Rean-Ninja-Black-widow-drift-JGTC-Camel Trophy-F1-snoop-dog kit.

Haha, all that, and the actual word "rice" doesn't even appear.
I just ordered my clear bumpers and my carbon fiber pistons yesterday.

I made a grille out of gutter guard on my neon a couple of years ago. it turned out pretty nice for the money i spent

I have tried looking into this but get messed up when I actually try....

I cut a little xtra to wrap around the fascia openings, then used a 2 part epoxy to literally glue the mesh to the back side of the fascia....
