Looks nice. You should measure how many inches off the ground your neon is. Why such a big high wing?? (coming from someone with an srt4 spoiler)

well i mean i like the way the neon looks but it looke to much like a bubble which bothers me so i put a wing on it to take away from the bubble look and to add more black to the car well i measured before from fender well to the ground it droped 1.6 inches exact

Get a 2nd gen or srt4 spoiler if you want a spoiler but thats just my opinion. Yeah i know it dropped 1.6 inches but how many inches off of the ground is it now?

A few inches would be crazy!!!

A couple of inches makes a difference, but its all what you can put up with.

my first neon barely had enough room for me to get my hand under the fraim rail of the car. it rode rough but dam if it wasnt a good handling car. i didnt care how rough it was to drive but i loved it. plus the only time it was really rough was like severe back roads or pot holes.
