Default Help PLEASE!!!

My b/f has a Dodge Neon. I do not know what year it is (long distance relationship). He needs a new hubcap & I wanted to surprise him with one. I was wondering if this would be possible to do w/o asking him (even casually) what year his car is. Thanks so much for any help. I am completely illeterate when it comes to cars![sm=thanx.gif]

only problem with the neons it that they all look alike....from 95-99 looks just the same..

2000-2001 has different headlights.....
2002-present has a different style headlight then the 00-01's....otherwise, thats the only noticible difference

Fixed.
There are other differences, but they are irrelevent.

First off Laneydoll, how much are you looking to spend?

You should probably ask him what year it is before you waste your money on the wrong one.

Looking to spend? I don't really know how much TOO spend. I am truly in the dark about cars. That is why I posted here, to see if I can get some help from the enthusiasts here. I really appreciate any advice I can get.

actually, the 00 and 01 were twins. the 02 had the same headlights but different front bumper (there was a piece of the bumper that came up on the inside of each turn signal). 03 was, as noted, new headlights and bumpers

can you by chance copy down the VIN without him knowing (considering they are oem hubcaps and not aftermarket) and post it up? (or just snap a pic with a cameraphone or something of his current hubcap

We live nine hours away. I guess I can just casually ask him what year it is but I really did not want him to know what I was up to. Was trying to "surprise" him.
