Hi guy i have 2000 plymouth neon with 2004 swap srt-4 and im runing 50 trim turbo but i still have stock intercooler in order to run more boost i need to change the i/c but the stock bumper is to small to fit the i/c so what do you guy recommend to do get a srt-4bumper? or there is any bumper(for 2000 neon) big enough to fit a big intercooler? thank you

you could just always cut the bumper or just buy an 02 style (which looks like my front bumper). You will still have to cut.. just maybe not as much.

I have an AGP "Direct fit" on my swapped 02 and there is not much bumper left in front of it.... I think regardless of what pre 03 bumper you use there will be quite a bit of cutting. I know on my intercooler I have about an inch between the back of the intercooler and the radiator support so I am going to push the intercooler back and hopefully not have to cut so much out of the next bumper I put on there.

I could have fit a big fmic with my 02 bumper, but it would need to be cut up pretty good. Or you could always go with water injection. That will cool the charge temps alot more than a big fmic.

Could always go with the 03+ bumpers since they have quite a bit of space behind the bumper for a FMIC.

Do you have a picture of your car? I'm curious to know how it looks since it's a ticker core.

Yeah I am going to try to get some pictures soon, I am ashamed of how dirty it is right now but I will get some up soon.

Can you just snap a pic real quick of the bumper so I can compare how much more you had to cut for the thicker core to fit?

Yep I will snap one tonight...

Alright, here goes...

Please excuse the bugs, as per Jason's request here is a shot of my chopped up front bumper. For the record this bumper is temporary, I am slowly working on its replacement

I know, its a hack job... The intercooler can be moved 1 inch back by redoing the mounts which will be done before this goes on..

You know, I really like that front fender. I dunno why.
