That's a neat looking rear end it has there, that tip and exhaust piece on the right side is obviously custom, and looks like an srt-4 wing on the back, looks good. The tail lights go great with the gray and so does the nice dark tint. Well since the exhaust is all set in that department, the first thing that most people do, like I did, was go for the cold air intake (fender well). Go to AEM.com and check out there cold air intakes for the neon, they look great, and really help the neon get out of some of its sluggy ways. Besides the cold air intake, the next step you could do is a performance header, and a hi-flow catalytic converter so your neon can pick up some torque and breathe a little better! That should be a good start brother. Other than that, the car looks good and usally i dont like the 03-05 styles but this one looks nice.

 

that looks raw. you need to get some bay pics. any other mods?

 

haven't really done any serious mod to it yet... I do have a cheap ebay cai for like 40 bucks... I heard it does pretty much the same as the AEM so I didn't bother getting the AEM cai. So right now basically it's just cai and the exhaust that's been changed for better flow. I would like to do the header but haven't really look into how to install it yet. I'm planning on doing an SRT swap in the future so i don't want to waste too much money on engine mod that's going to be taken out when i do the srt swap. What other mod do you think i can still do that would still be usable when i do the srt swap? I wanted to do the UDP but i heard it's complicated with getting to it. I'm still in school and live in an apartment so no garage or power tools or any of those good stuff... and the neon is the only car i got and i need it almost everyday... I bought the neon with my own money when i went to college so yeah... try to save money for college, living, and of course my neon

 

looks nice, i actually prefer the 03-05 models better then the 00-02 but any neon is awesome!

 

its clean and nice, great deal on the car, yea i agree , you should start from engine out to the skin, then you can lower it on 18's black rims since you have a greay car go with black and cf theme inside out.. black tails and heads lights would look great also..
incase you go chrome you need to change that tint to 25%mirror give it the luxary look...

 

this is my car when i got it , looks like a mini 4x4 lol

after

 

Hey thanks for the comments guys... so here's my plan... next stop would be header then UDP then motor mounts. As for the rest... let's just say after I save for a while by the way are ebay header any good? what about UDP? not that i like ebay stuff better, it's just that i rather save some money for more upgrades... unless they're really bad [&:]

 

The first thing I would of done is taken that silly looking thing off the hood. WTF is that???
