New Neon R/T owner hailing from Connecticut!

Hey guys,

I bought a used 2003 Neon R/T in yellow today and couldn't be happier! I took it driving all day today and got used to it. Clutch seems to catch a lot higher than most, but I got used to it after a couple minutes.

Now, a few questions. I want to make my car look different, but in a subtle way. I don't want loud racing stripes, black wheels, things like that...maybe some of you have some ideas or examples of unique subtle things to do to the car?

Also, my car has a strut bar in the engine bay and I wanted to know if that came stock with the car or was an after-market part.

Lastly, I'm looking for some bolt-on or easy installation metal pedals to go on top of my rubber ones. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

PS. I'm having a hell of a time learning how to heel and toe this thing, the way the pedals are laid out. It seems I don't have enough room to swing my right heel out to hit the accelerator...wasn't a problem in my dad's Mustang GT or my sister's Mini Cooper.

Welcome

I also have a yellow 03' R/T and mine does not have the strut bar you mentioned.

Welcome to 2GN. Lots of great people here, that I'm sure will give you plenty of suggestions. You'll need to post some pictures before the natives become restless.

If you're looking for some great metal pedals, I would have to say look at Autovation.com as they have great ones, but I am just a little bit bias.

Enjoy.

congrats on getting an r/t! the strut bar is most likely aftermarket. you could add the mopar lip kit which looks damn sexy on 03+ neons if you want to change the looks in a subtle way.

If anybody could tell me if anything on there is not stock (besides the sway bar) I would appreciate it.
