SRT-4 rear fascia vs SRT-D

SupaDawg · Post by **SupaDawg** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 10:27 pm

just curious if anyone has seen them both in person? they both offer dual exhaust at almost same prices... I'm ordering one on saturday... trying to decide...

yeah, the rear facia is just an R/T bumper. it's basically an SXT bumper with holes for the exhaust from the factory.

SRT-4 Rear

SRT-D Rear

Opinions? I plan on geting a howell front end, and eventually skirts, but will the SRT-4 rear look stupid in the mean time?

Mmm. I want an SRT-4 rear.

It might look a little funny without side skirts since it looks a bit lower than the standard rear piece.

no disrespect, but yeah, it would look kinda stupid with the SXT car with a lower SRT rear. just my .02 cents.

Kevo has srt front, rear, side skirts and full r/t exhaust in his back yard.

If you are going with the howell front and sideskirts at some point I would get the srt-4 rear. It may look funny for the time being but it will flow with the howell front and sideskirts better then the srt-d rear will.

Basically, for now the srt-d will flow with the car better but once you put on the front and sides it won't flow together as well and then you'll want the srt-4.

so just get the srt-4 rear now, don't install it 'till you get the rest of the pieces.......... duh

dblsg... that would be easy if I had the option. Problem is I have rear body damage and our winters are pretty unpredictable here. I wanna make sure i make the right choice before I run out of time, so you can understand the bind... I need to purchase a rear bumper tommorow no matter what.

Why can't i just be happy with the way my 03 neon looks? lol. Damn indecisive nature.

Anyone seen flamedmopar's 2003 neon?

I may go with the SRT-D rear bumper and the SRT-4 front... It doesnt seem to hurt his lines at all having the longer front and no skirts/stock bumper. what do you guys think?

BTW, my neon is patriot blue:

I don't like it. Something looks funny and I'm not sure if it's the royal blue flames, the 15" chrome wheels, or the no sideskirts... Might be a combination of everything, too...

I should go looking for tapered side skirts that taper off before the rear bumper... might look slick that way. Time to start playing in photoshop i think. lol.

believe me....that front bumper hurt his stock lines REAL bad. that bumper is a few inches lower than the rest of the car. the rear SRT-D bumper is designed to fit the SXT's lines, and so is the front. notice on the front of the SRT-D, there isn't a big lip on the bottom like the SRT-4. that's because it's designed to fit the stock SXT's sides without the sideskirt kit. trust me, if you're thinking of getting an SRT-4 bumper and SRT-d rear, it's not going to line up at all.

SupaDawg · Post by **SupaDawg** » Fri Aug 12, 2005 10:22 pm

true supertrick. I think i'm coming to the point where I may just leave my SXT an SXT and focus on making it the best SXT I can as opposed to chopping it with an SRT... for now anyways.

supertrick_05 · Post by **supertrick_05** » Fri Aug 12, 2005 11:26 pm

good choice! but as I stated above, if you want to do a dual exhaust set-up in the future, I would see about getting an R/T rear bumper because it will be the same thing as your SXT bumper, only with the holes already there for your dual exhaust. so I'd ask for an R/T bumper (only if ur thinking of dual exhaust) and shouldn't be that much more expensive if it isn't the same price as the SXT.

SupaDawg · Post by **SupaDawg** » Fri Aug 12, 2005 11:38 pm

it's the same price. I used the part number from the SRT-D kit.... $403 CDN primed from my dealer.

I'm actually picking up the dual exhaust kit in a couple weeks.... buying a pair of black LED rear tails first.

thanks for your advice...

so which bumper did you end up going with?

SupaDawg · Post by **SupaDawg** » Tue Aug 16, 2005 5:57 pm

I went with the SRT-D bumper. Plan is to add the AVS rear skirt in the future along with SRT-4 sideskirts and the howell front bumper.

For now it's juat a matter of getting my baby all fixed. I'll post some pictures of my current damage tommorow and you'll understand the rush.

FYI, the SRT-D rear comes unpainted... no primer either... just bare plastic. I got mine for $360CDN

damn....shouldn't have posted the mix-n-match body kit thing....now SupaDawg knows about the rear. BASTARD! LoL! j/k....you'd better post pics when you get that AVS rear!
