Should I?

Post by crowd00control » Tue Mar 13, 2007 8:58 am

One of my good friends has a silver 03 neon. I was contemplating last night on trading my body kit (after it's fixed of course) plus headlights/tail lights/exhaust for her stock body and lights, and then doing my custom 3" catalytic converter & 3" piping to open up my flow for the turbo. Think it's a good idea? Or should leave my body kit, or do something else?

Why this would benefit us:
1. Her car will look sexy as hell.
2. She won't have any 'too low issues' because she still has stock suspension.
3. I can drive my car without worrying about scraping the body kit anymore.
4. I can get a free flowing 3" catback exhaust for my turbo set up.
5. I'll look more like a sleeper.

03 bumpers are ugly as sin. Either go with another kit, or go with 00-02 bumper, R/T side skirts, SRT rear.

i like the 03+ bumper.

also, the lip does look really good. supertrick has one, and i think OB does too. they look really good.

that's a tough call. but i would say chagne up the kit somehow. since its already been broken once... do you wanna deal with that again?

my vote is chagne it up. but idk if it would looke better with an 01-02 R/T front, with R/T sides and SRT rear.... or the 03 bumpers wiht mopar lip kit.....

i personally love that kit, but you are totally done with appearance... so i say go for the trade. but i would definetly try to go with an 02 bumper. the 02 r/t stuff would look great a long with an srt rear... or the 03 front with the mopar lip. but even if you went plain jane, it would still look awsome with the carbon fiber hood/trunk combo

get rid of the kit, sigh i don't like kits to be honest on normal neons.... unless it's something totally custom show worthy. Not saying yours is not, just saying in general
