Alright.... I got a little time so I'll do some typing. Forgive me but I have a broken pinky at the moment and it gets in the way.
Alright... I bought the car as a white 05 with vipers, kicker package and no sunroof in Dec 06. 1669 whites made and even less with kicker but no sunroof. I was in Iraq and my wife bought the car as her daily driver until I got back and we could ship it to Germany. I came home from Iraq in Aprtil 07 for the birth of my daughter and drove it for the first time
I drove it for a week before the clutch roasted AT the dragstrip. So with only a week left on my leave I had to drop a clutch in it. $900 later I had a Clutchmasters stage 3. But it gave me a good reason to put on my exhaust, intercooler piping and intercooler.
So then I left for Iraq again. Drove the car for 8 of 15 days I was home. Owned it for 5 months.
I got back from Iraq and was in Germany. I headed for the states in Dec 07 to go get my wfe, daughter and car. I was supposed to drive the car to port with my buddy and his Evo IX. We were going to ship them together on the 26th of Dec. On the 20th my wife backed out of a parking spot and started driving forward when an old lady came down and sideswipped the whole car, bounced off and hit 3 other parked cars. From fender to fender was damaged, both wheels on the passenger side and bent the rear coilover and hub.
Thats when I got crazy with it. Already had to have the whole passenger side painted so I started on a quest to find a good color. I got online and looked at almost all manufacturers limited lines and had a list. So on the weekend I took my 10 year old daughter out dealer hoping to find the colors I had on my list and took her input. We wanted to see the Super Bee but due to its limited production we never figured we'd find one. As luck would have it I was driving home after deciding on a Mitsu color and I thought I'd drive by my buddy's work just to say hi. He works at a Dodge dealer on the south side of Cincinnati. I pulled in and started scanning the lot. No Super Bee of course. So a salesman comes out and we start talking. I explained the situation and threw out there that I was looking for a Super Bee to see the color. He's like.... we just pulled one off the truck. Its around back getting washed! I was happier than a fag in a dick tree. So we went around back to find it. My daughter ran ahead of me and I just watched her face when she turned the corner. She smiled real big and said "Daddy thats IT!" Sure as shit..... the color was amazing. So we painted the car that color. Everything other than under the hood got done. I'll be doing underhood myself this winter but I'll do it all in black.
So..... now I got this amazing color and all these Kaminari parts. I had to find wheels. Well.... a guy here in Germany is BIG into Dub wheels and TIS. He's got a 300c wagon (magnum for Europe) on 24's. I wanted 18's or larger but couldn't find anything I really could decide on. Then I found some information stating that anything in an 8" wide wheel with an offset of et40 to et35 would fit as long as the wheel and tire combo was 25.4" or less. So..... After some calculations... a 225/30 20 would come to 25.3"
$2200 shipped later and I've got what I'll say has to be one of the rarest SRT's around.
Outside mods:
Seibon GT hood.
Kaminari custom painted CF front lip
Kaminari skirts
Kaminari CF KTR2 wing
smoked LED tails
CF pillars
completely sanded fog bezels and mirrors then colormatched
I'll either be getting a Kaminari rear bumper and modding it to work with my exhaust OR using the CBD rear diffuser thats coming in the mail. Dunno yet.
Well thats all the time I've got for now.
I <3 you Marraka.
I don't know of any SRT's on 20's and only your neon on them. I've heard of one reg neon on 22's but it didn't move..... rims got put on at the shows. But I've never seen pictures of it. Hell.... I think 21's could fit with some work.
