What color?

clancaster23 · Post by **clancaster23** » Tue Jul 01, 2008 10:12 pm

Looking for opinions on color on two parts, three really, going on my car soon.

I will be getting Danteneon's side skirts. They are silver. My '00 is black. Should I have them done in PX8 or leave the silver to roll with the black/silver way?

Also, planning on getting new brakes all around including rotors and rear drums. I plan to paint the calipers and drums but again I am unsure of color. I want to stick to the silver/black scheme so should I do them in silver or black? I am looking at the Greenstuff pads so there will be a touch of green if you look close enough. Slotted and/or drilled rotors are also a possibility.

My car as it is now:

I would go with the silver if there was a silver 'Cuda stripe to help tie it in better.

Otherwise not sure how good it would look.

What's the cost of that? Need a donor SRT?

PX8 FTMFW! The silver might look nice, though. But I'd leave it black.

Get slotted brakes not drilled.

I may stick on the side skirts and just see how they look in the silver. If I don't like, I'll have them painted.

I can't get the front and rear lips due to not having a +03 model. The kits won't fit '00-'02's. I'l love it but without changing bumers, can't have it.

The Mopar lip kit? I was told it wouldn't fit since the +03's have different shaped bumpers. Without modification anyway which I don't want to do.

look at team nitehawk's black '05 with silver lip kit. Looks pretty cool to me. Either way, it will look nice. Also check YouTube, somewhere there was a slideshow of a neon like yours with a mopar lip on the front bumper

Paint em black.

Got them today and put them on. I'm not sure if I like them as they are or not. May still consider having them painted but I think they flow pretty well as they are with the wheels.

AH HAH!... so this is why, with that clearance on the MOPAR lip kits,.. that all they have left are the front and rear lips...no side skirts left...

because all the guys with da "old skool" 00-02 Neons just bought the skirts!

I would do black skirts and red or silver brakes

I say paint the skirts black. Go with silver on the calipers, and don't do anything to the drums (unless you swap for discs). Get the drilled and slotted rotors......... I've had mine for over a year, and I love them. The zinc still looks as they did when I first got them, a very clean look. As for the stopping

Just my .02

Black skirts/Any color on the calipers is going to stand out so you can't go too wrong. The silver will be hard to tell apart from your rims though unless you look kinda close.

this is old now, but incidentally i found the '00 neon with the lip kit.
