Interior
- B&M white oldschool shiftknob
- SRT4 leather shifter boot
- Red radio bezel

Suspension/Wheels/Brakes
- Eibach pro kit springs
- R/T struts
- R/T rear sway (not pictured)
- 01/02 R/T 16" wheels
- Toyo Proxy 4s
- Rear disc conversion
- Powerslot rotors
- Hawk HP brake pads
- Red calipers

Performance
- AEM cold air intake w/ K&N filter
- Magnaflow custom cat back with 3.5" dual round tips custom fit, with custom notched bumper
- B&M short throw shifter
- Booger bushings

*SRT4 motor swap soon-ish*

i like your neon a lot. i must say it is clean as hell, and is one of the top best 03+ style neons that i have seen and like

keep it clean keep

Both very nice cars. I think if you made a cutout for the muffler it'd look even better!

joelrgr · Post by **joelrgr** » Wed Mar 28, 2007 8:56 am

Love the VW, the Neon is extremely clean, love that look! Have a friend here with a Rabbit GTI 1.8T, such a fast little car, only thing i dont like is the silent turbo

that and putting a short throw shifter in it is a complete PITA with having to push down for reverse... Any info on that from you couple VW people?
