SRT Hood Question

I am looking to get an SRT Hood or something similar. There is a hood for sale in the Parts section and what I am curious about is if anyone knows if it will fit a 2001 Dodge Neon ES.

Here is the link where it was posted
viewtopic.php?t=51953

When I have looked online I see that it is for a 2003-2005 but didn't know if it would still fit a 2001 and if it did would there be any short comings that would make a big enough difference to not buy it.

With the 00 front bumper It won't be so bad since the hood and the bumper don't "meet." The hood should fit just fine.

Ok. And if I switch to an 2003-2005 SRT front bumper will there still be a gap?

Nope.

But remember you would have to buy 03 style headlights if u got a srt4 bumper.

& then it would look just too fake. So I say just stick wit what u got. Slab the hood on there & don't do srt4 front bumper.

What do you mean it would look fake?

It means SRT-4 appearance with a 2.0 N/A in it. I personally don't like car to be that way, since it's not an SRT-4.

Yo, there's definitely still a gap between the SRT hood and SRT bumper on the 00-02 Neons. At least on mine there is and I'm holding it lower than stock height with the hood pins.

And he's saying not to have a big SRT bumper hanging off the front of your car if the rest of the body is stock. It'll look buck-tooth and lame.

I will have the side skirts and rear bumper also. I am doing an SRT swap so I figured why not have the body style also. I mean the guy at the junkyard that I got my parts from gave me everything for $1300. Motor has 31000 miles on it. And it looks to be Stage 1.
