carbon by design sells CF ones (obviously) and fiberglass ones
dont think you can buy the perrin ones anymore unless you find them used

Yep that's the same car I found when I googled "neon circleville ohio"
Anyway, looks good. Please have the lip kit painted yellow and don't leave it black (assuming you get a black one) no body kits, or wings. As for the projectors I think they take away from the look. I'd go with black housing OEM style lights.
congrats

Yes, mine came with one and, no, you can't have mine.

Someone correct me if I am wrong but the Kicker Livin' Loud subwoofer will retrofit in any 2GN. Just don't let something like this...

...happen to your Solar Yellow Neon. This was my '02 SXT- I still miss it.

If you have all seasons you'll be fine. I was basically just saying don't use summer tires in December.

no it will not, it will fit physically with no problem but the harness for it is part of the main body harness so you will have to wire it up your self .

Well thats good. Specially since you are just learning how to drive a stick.
For some reason I faintly remember someone on this forum who had an 03+ yellow R/T and did their seats like that..... Wonder if its the same car.. Hmmmm

i just purchased one of these myself for my r/t, from what the guy said, the black and red are your + and - and the other 4 wires will match up to your rear speaker wires, color for color. I'll be installing it here next week so i can give you all the info once its done if you'd like

Manny: Initially, glad everything worked out and you were able to take it home. Definitely do the timing belt, water pump, tensioner, etc. now before it's too late. Put that on your list before all of your mods so you aren't kicking yourself in the ass later on. Secondly, the interior looks like a Katzkins kit, and while it's of good quality not something I would be able to drive around with the yellow is LOUD. I would steer clear of the projectors, they're cheap.
As for radiator shrouds:
www.metalwerkz.com
www.jmbperformance.com
www.carbonbydesign.com
MetalWerkz is having a New Years sale right now so they're cheaper than ever, he's a vendor on SRTForums, nice guy...I have one of his shrouds in my SRT I was the prototype car for the Koyo Rad version.
Keep it clean

were you able to save anything from your old car?

thanks for the links LSP.. the timing belt,pump and tensioner are all on my todo list when i get time this week. and i know the interior screams.. but idk i kinda like it. it looks better in person that in pics. im sure yall look at it and probably think its overkill on the yellow but not really. and ok on the projectors. i might just get some eyelids and call it a day with that part.
and no i didnt get anything from my old car.. so its all new parts like i need some gauges and just everything..although the speakers in the RT are way good and they have good bass so im sticking stock speakers on this one. maybe a sub.
im surprised no one has told me to debadge the car.. thats usually the first thing someone says.. but that too is what im gonna do.. beside the RT on the front doors.
i also havent been able to come up with a name for it.. so everyone submit me your ideas on a name for trough pm.. and then ill pick one.
