Default I need some help and suggestions

I know this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it. What is the width, length, etc. of the Neon R/T stripes? I'm redoing my car's looks and I'm thinking about getting white R/T stripes, and a fiberglass hood. Also anyone got any suggestions on what I should do to her? Check out my Neon here, http://www.cardomain.com/ride/794937. The wing is being taken off. I think it looks to ricey, I'm also getting matching bumpers and ditching the gray ones. Thanks in advance.

I have seen too many Neon's as well as other cars with huge wings like that and it's just a bad idea 95% of the time. That one especially on a Neon, it is not only huge, but it is too squared and sharp edged for the rounded body of the Neon. There are plenty of wings/spoilers out there that would look great on your Neon.

I'm not sure of each part of the stripes length, but each stripe is 7 1/2" wide and they are spaced 3 1/2" apart.

The fiberglass hood I always wanted to get for my R/T was the AAR Cuda style that Howell Automotive has, it's functional and is in my opinion the best looking hood for the Neon. If you get a body kit, my suggestion would be the Blitz kit. The Blitz body kit combined with the AAR hood look great and they look as if they were made to go together.

What all do you plan to do to it?

First I plan on ditching the wing, it's too ricey. Then I'll lower her, get Aqua (the color of my car) bumpers so the whole car is one color, get a fiberglass hood, and put stripe(s) down her. Performance wise, I'm either going to get a turbo or get a short block 2.4 liter crate motor from Howell Automotive, then turbo it later on. I not sure if I should turbo an engine with 93,000 miles on it, although most of it was recently rebuilt, I think it would be safer to get a new engine. The engine is also $1,995 and the turbo is $3,000. And thanks for the input guys.

i measure the stripes on my car earlier for ya...now here is the thing, my car has a sunroof, when i measured the stripes the sunroof was open and the battery wasnt hooked up so i couldnt close it...but just for the hell of it i measure the stripes around the sunroof, but with no sunroof they are going to be a different size...when i put the battery in i will measure the whole roof, they are pretty much
hood: 34in long
infront of sunroof: 5 3/4in. long
behind sunroof: 21 3/4in. long
trunk: 26in. long
and they dont go all the way to the edge...they are like this..
