Should I keep RT or get SRT side skirts?

Post by Tam » Mon Feb 02, 2009 9:51 am

I've been scratching my head about this for weeks. I don't know what I want. So I have a set of yellow RT skirts(or mopar or w/e u guys call them) that I plan to paint...But then along the way, Someone wants to trade me his black SRT skirts for my RTs. I've always liked the SRT slightly better than the RT but everyone on the forums always prefered RT skirts over everything else. If I trade, I'd have to fork over $20 to ship or I can keep the RTs and save $20.

My RTs:

SRTs to be traded:

After I photoshopped the skirts, it made it even harder to decide. What should I do? I kinda like em both.
I hope it's ok that I used z3roneon's picture for this.

I know the blue is way off my car's blue...but I'm not the best at photoshop. And the front bumper with the lip and grill are on my to do list so consider them part of the decision. :D

I voted Mopar skirts. The look seems to fit your car better. Although we need more angles to tell for sure.

First thing you should do is wash that poor neon, then you should trade for the SRT skirts

that's correct, he pays his own shipping for his SRT skirts to my house and I pay my own shipping for my RT skirts to his house.

I'm getting mixed opinions from all my friends/family and you forum members. lol this isn't really helping that much.

RT sides,i dont like the srt skirts very much,a little too square for the round lines of the neon.i would even put the RT skirts on a srt4 if i had one.

I may have missed it but do you have your stock front bumper or will you be changing it as well? I can find a side/rear shot of srt sides with the stock 02 rear so you could see approx what it would look like if you went that way. My front was changed by then so that won't be much help at all..

I will be changing it out with the one on the pic. An 02 front with civic M lip.

If you're talking about the pics of your car of the rear/side shots with the stock 02 rear, I have saved one, but do you have more than what you've posted in your progress thread and the picture post thread? If so, lay them on me!!

This is the only one i have so far.

I was hoping you would drop by this thread!! :D

The SRT skirts look nice and form fitting, where the R/T skirts are just flat and boring.

Okay Mat, he's what I dug out of photobucket.. Maybe these will give you some idea what you like and don't like. At least this way they're on the same color car.
