Lip Kit or not lip kit

Well here it is tell me what you think. And yes I know the hood is ugly and the car is dirty. I think with an OEM SRT carbon hood and some eyelids it will all look good together. Thanks

Could you put up some pics of the side and rear of the car?

if the lip kit includes that hideous scoop then no. otherwise it doesnt look that bad but theres something about it i dnt like.

A lip kit on a SRT front would definitely be original. Get rid of that god awful stick on scoop though. It looks like it's peeling up on its own!

Keep in mind that that lip will be very difficult to graft onto your SRT bumper.

The lip kit is designed to attach to a bumper that turns inwardly at the bottom, not outwardly like the SRT does.

All that said, I can't make up my mind if I like it or not

I like it! And for some strange reason the scoop looks okay. You should cut and fiberglass it so it's functional.

srt carbon fiber hood. get lip kit skirts and rear. leave your front bumper alone. i like the SRT-D bumper w/ the kit on it.

As for the fitment issue I'm just gonna cut off the bottom section of the bumper and then put the lip kit on. The paint in the lower part is shit and its all cracked and busted so the lip kit is a easy fix as well as original. The scoop would come off if the shit head who put it on didnt use such crap adhesive which pulled up the paint. That was the first thing I did and the paint underneath was crap. DCX I think still has the lip for less than 100 and in my color so it will probably be cheaper than a repaint and body work. Thanks for the responses and keep em coming.

PS. I don't have updated pics of the sides are rear but the sides have no skirts as I'm looking for a complete set of SRT ones, I have also taken the moldings off. As for the rear it has a debaged trunk, nightshaded tails and 3rd brake light, rolled SRT bumper with R/T Neon rear exhaust section and an SRT spoiler.

Looks good. Maybe you should attach the lowest portion of a regular or SRT-D front bumper to the bottom to give you something to attach to? Just an idea. It's original, I like it.

Oh yeah, lose that hideous scoop!

lip kit would be fine but i think it looks good and isn't necessary

Besides originality, why exactly do you want to do this? I'm not being a dick, I'm just curious. Most people add lips to the other bumpers because they don't already have one, but I don't necessarily think the lip kit looks better than the lip that t already has on it.

SRT bumper already has a lip! That one looks terrible

I was just looking for a cheaper and original way of modding the neon without having to pay for a bumper repaint because it is so torn up and the paint is shit on the lip

sidepipe87 · Post by **sidepipe87** » Wed Jan 14, 2009 9:54 pm

I say either fix the paint on the lip, or get a carbon fiber SRT lip that will just fit over it.
