Default 2003 SXT Conversion ???

New here wasn't sure if someone might have asked already but i was looking into doing a SRT-4 conversion to my 2003 Dodge neon SXT.

Thinking about doing maybe doing a SRT-4 Front bumper and Rear Bumper, and Spoiler then doing Wheels and tires.

Just wondering on fitment and if any one has any ideas thanks

All u need is a washer bottle from a srt or your passenger fog light will have fitment issues. You can make your own or melt your bottle to fit with a heat gun. I see some srt washer bottles floating around ebay around 30 dollars shipped. Thats if u have fog lights, if not just get some fog light delete from carbon by desgin. You dont need anything for the rear bumper it will fit right up. And the spoiler will fit into the holes of sxt spoilers.

Im not sure about the wheels and tires thats not my area i hope i helped

here my how-to on the rear bumper conversion:
http://forum.2gn.org/viewtopic.php?p=269614#269614

and a link to front facia removal (non SRT but it will help):
http://forum.2gn.org/viewtopic.php?t=36
and as stated above, youll need to pick up the SRT washer fluid resivor.

if you want the true SRT look, youll also want to get the SRT side skirts.

the bolt holes for the mid and high wing are the same, if you already have a spoiler on the sxt, all you need is the spoiler. and if you have a clean trunk lid there are plenty of SRT owners out there willing to trade up.

the topic of SRT rims on an sxt has come up much inthe past. there have been reports of the sxt struts rubbing, so you may need to pickup the stock SRT struts and springs.
Some discussion: https://dodgeforum.com/m_385823/tm.htm
Accomadating SRT4 wheels: https://dodgeforum.com/m_385823/tm.htm

there have been many discussions on this topic in the past. just do a quick search and youll find a wealth of information

I should also add that the SXT and SRT hoods are different. while the hood scoup is obvious a little more subtle is the fact the SXT hood is 1" shorter. so you may find some issue with the hood/bumper lineup in the front until you get the SRT hood on it.

you can see, look where they line up on the headlights, and look at how the SXT hood is more of a V shapped at the end.



Like stated above, the side skirts make a difference:




You might also want to get some tighter mesh for the front... as its gonna look pretty naked without an intercooler in there.
