(cough) RICE!!! (cough) (cough)
Sorry, not my taste, LOL. I'd go with something more subdued if i were you. A kit that works with the vehicles stock lines to accent them, rather than trying to recreate the whole style of the vehicle. Dont have any kits to show as examples, but i think you get the idea. Besides, with that kit you will stand out like a sore thumb to the 5.0's (funny we still call 'em 5.0's when they're really 4.6's).

Dude you dont need a whole body kit. i have a 02 r/t and i dropped it 1" and added momo sideskirts/17' wheels and tires and z3 fenders and it changed the whole look of the car if i knew how to post the pictures, i would show ya jst a idea.

I agree with rice. There nothing more tastless then a car with two images. Stock works great with me. There is a reason why manufactures spend lots of time and money to create a car that pleases everyones eye.
Did anyone get a look at the downforce wings on the front bumper, what a joke. There is no way a neon will see a corner at 80 or more. Even if it did the suspension is wrong to absorb it.
There is a reson why indy cars have a horizontal shock rather then a vertical one.
Here is a question for you guys how much down force is on an indy cars front wing at there top speed???

I've heard the "ricer" comment before and I respect that opinion.
My brother has a Jetta i8T and he's putting a kit on his,
and a buddy of mine has a 03' Neon Black with a Kaminari,
So why not. It's a cute Fun car.
I really like the SRT-4 styling, but I don't want people thinking that it is one. My other car is a Ram 1500 Turbocharged and I just picked this up cause of gas prices. I can't leave anything stock. :cool:

Here is a question for you guys how much down force is on an indy cars front wing at there top speed???
As in "how much downforce does the front wing create" or "what is the total combined downforce on the front of the car?" If i were to guess i'd say the wing makes over 500lbs of downforce at top speed and total lift/downforce on the front when all is said and done is about 0. Just a wild guess though.

i know theres enuff downforce to overcome the wieght of the car,,in other words it would stick to the cieling at speed if you could get it up there,lol

You can also click on the gallery and upload pictures to the DT gallery. From there you can link the image tag to your post and show pictures that way. I will send you a PM on it if you need more help. I think HemiD coverd the other way pretty well. You shouldn't have no trouble.
Anyhow, I have seen his car and I wish it were mine! LOL It's a pretty car to say the least. :rck:

if u dont like the " different body lines" hoodooguru's body kit is pretty nice... lol body kits aernt really rice but that wing on the neon i posted diffenately ugly! i like that front and honestly bodykit aernt exactly a performance mod... i wish i wouldn't have got a body kit and would have put the money into motor instead! but if i had a 2g neon i would go with the wings west even if it is "rice" or w/e!

I was going to mention that too. But the kit would be a Chrysler product and they arent cheap!!!!! Then again body kits arent exactly cheap neither.

I just picked up my Octane R34 body kit and Z3 fenders from Rushkits.com
I got the whole kit for $359 and fenders for $150. Just gotta save for installation now. I could do it myself, but i'm going to take it to the body shop that does work for the local Dodge dealership cause they did an excellent job on my truck when I scratched it.

Anybody know the name of this kit? I really like how clean it is, doesnt make the car look too ricy. It's a Mexican car, maybe it's a factory option? I hope not.

Its a full bumper, note the altered front grill (and crappy seam where it meets the hood).
