thank you TiNK!
I wish my parents would let ME buy an SRT, but I gotta do the whole school thing in a year, so they want me to save up a little. This is the next best thing. Should have pics of the paint by next Friday.
Anyone have opinions on the sideskirts issue?

Looks more like a Mini-Caustic.

Oh yea about the skirts the you should put the srt skirts on it. hell looks like you already got a good start. All you need now is a nice lil intercooler to fill that void and some boost and you'll be good to go

edit: SRT skirts and rear

gunton224 · Post by **gunton224** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 11:06 pm

wouldn't an intercooler without a turbo be a bit, um...rice?

if I get skirts, would that kinda force me to buy the srt rear bumper, or would it look ok without?

Yesss. but what I meant was to get your car turbo'd lol. about your skirts, IMO I think since you have the front fascia right now why not just finish the deal with the rear and sides.

new pics of paint

I got the car late today and had to work until 9pm. I took off the eyelids, finally. I'll have more pics tomorrow in the light and clean...

LowNSlow · Post by **LowNSlow** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 11:44 pm

guessing they didnt remove the bumper to paint it.. so they painted the crash bar as well?

gunton224 · Post by **gunton224** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 11:48 pm

yeah, but i dont rele care, I'm putting the mesh in as soon as it gets here...

How much does MAACO charge to repaint a car the same color as it was stock?

gunton224 · Post by **gunton224** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 11:10 pm

depends what package you buy. Mine was 929 but that was 400 in body work and a prep job

Edit: new washed pics

you can't really get the full effect unless you see it sparkle in the sun in person. It's not the same stock silver. It's actually a silver paint used by chrysler on wheels called Sparkling Silver. The flake in it makes it dance in the sun...it's a bit darker too. Overall they didn't do a bad job. They're dumb as hell as far as masking stuff off, but you get what you pay for. They ripped the rubber gasket around one of my headlights, so I have to go back on monday so they can replace it. They also have to fix where a small gnat landed on the paint before it could dry on the roof, but they'll fix it, so I not pissed at all. They did a bunch of bodywork and preped the car before paint for $929.88. not bad...

Wait a sec sait a sec... You are doing SRT-4 swaps, and you haven't done your own yet?

You need more pictures of your car gunton, better quality too.

gunton224 · Post by **gunton224** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 11:30 pm

i know the pics suck because i used my moto SLVR to take 'em. I'll see if I can snag my parents' camera...

gunton224 · Post by **gunton224** » Sat Mar 08, 2008 10:02 pm

resurrecting this thread by finally putting better pictures up, these from my iphone, hence the clarity...

There's also some pics of what my dad's durango did to the front in our driveway...

DannyBoy · Post by **DannyBoy** » Sat Mar 08, 2008 10:09 pm

I still don't understand why people put SRT-4 front on their normal neons. It just doesn't make sense. They look way worse than say, an 02 R/T front.

J-Villa · Post by **J-Villa** » Sat Mar 08, 2008 10:11 pm

if your car was lowered it would look awesome...just looks weird with an aggressive bumper and a car that sits high

theTeejmiester · Post by **theTeejmiester** » Sun Mar 09, 2008 7:48 am

yes drop it! looks so much better,other than that nice car maan

MyNeonSaysHi · Post by **MyNeonSaysHi** » Sun Mar 09, 2008 12:47 pm

So thats what a Neon SRT-4 would look like on reg SE/SXT springs... Damn that thing sits up high!

I am sorry, but poseur SRT-4's FTL. Not a fan at all.

It is very clean though, give yah props on that!

have fun when the clear starts to peel around where they taped things off. MAACO sucks.
