i'd say no to the srt spoiler, imo it doesnt look right on a 2.0 neon unless u have a body kit or srt bumpers.

They look a little too Pontiac for me.

i was thinking about going with the srt wing once upon a time. then i drove my friend's srt and realized that the srt wing is in the middle of the rear view mirror. the sxt wing just blocks out high beams

'02 R/T is the same as SXT
'01 R/T is the HammerHead.

Check out my sig. I have had the SRT spoiler since 2003. I liked it then because it was original on a white car, but now everyone has one! I have been trying to trade mine for quite some time now.

Depends on how tall you are. I had more problems in this area with the SXT wing than I do with the SRT wing.

SXT or 1st generation "surfboard" wing. Those are the only spoilers that I've seen that really complimented the looks of the car. SRT is a bit too big and the hammerhead is just god awful. I wasn't real big on the AVS downdraft until I saw someone use filler and molded it to the trunk, then painted the whole thing. THAT looked damn nice.

I completely agree. The surfboard spoiler on 2nd gen cars looks great. My only gripe about it is i wish it was just a tiny bit higher. Sometimes when you look at it it looks like its awkwardly growing out of the trunklid.

I tried to install one on my car but the spoiler holes do not match up. :(

trust me, you get tired of the basket handle look. especially that of the srt spoiler. I regret trading my sxt. If i had a spoilerless lid like you have, i would just leave it like that.

What I said on another thread:
I guess for me I just feel that kind of wing belongs only on a fast car, such as an SRT-4, or Supra TT, etc. And even then it's questionable. But at least then the car boasts the power reputation for it.

But hey, if YOU like it, then again like I said that's all that counts.
And that's pretty much how I feel about a lot of overly "racy" visual enhancements.
Drive it like you stole it, and work on it like you married it.
