technically would it be cheaper to go with the srt-d front bumper or to buy an srt bumper and fill in the "nostrils". ( yea i know some of u dont like the srt-d but im just pitchin the idea)

yea, i believe its 750 while the srt4 is around 500. personally, i like the srt-d plus i dont have any plans of a turbo anytime soon so the nostrils would be unneccassary.

They are actually about the same MSRP. Find one used. :) It will be much cheaper as Jake said.

I honestly couldnt tell you. supertrick_05, or someone else with a SRT-D bumper conversion could probably tell you.

...I like the lip better too, dont you?

anyway, IIRC, the SRT hood is longer than the neon hood. So, unless you have a SRT hood, there will be a gap. 3/4" to and inch I believe.
