he he,I see... well I bought mine new in 04, and I liked the appearance of it. But the NGC gets on my nerves a bit... still, on long trips it peaks out at 42 mpg (hopefully much more after what I am doing to it as we speak), and overall for what I paid for it new, I have NO COMPLAINTS overall, I find it to be reliable for the money.

And AirWolf, as far as the lip kit you are talking about... the lower dimensions of the lip kit you are referring to are EXACTLY the same '00-'05, just FYI hint hint. I got the full Chrysler service manual to prove it and show ya where the bolts go. And I seen a guy in person in Des Moines throw one on in his garage while I was drinking his beer and it came off an '03 RT, and he was putting it on a 2000 and it fit perfect.

Go with an SRT, that way you don't have to worry about ya know, not having a turbo. They're cheap as ****

75k+ SRT > 2.0 Neon

He's abrasive, but I agree with him on this one, I could have picked up a new SRT-4 cheap if I would have wated 4 months after I bought my car... my need for speed probs would have been solved somewhat no prob

All right, Well Im looking too spend about up to 7000 for a used neon, But does anyone have a suggestion of style too, The SRT-4 is an awesome car but too expensive. I see a couple of SXT's around but some too much or not in good condition. Im not looking to race really. Would the SE or ES be good too. (just because I see some of them for sale too) First upgrade I was thinking of doing is the EVO5. So yeah are the SE and ES fine?

yeah a es or se would be fine for that evo bodykit. Than you should do rims and tires and a drop and for the engine intake , nicer plugs and wires and a nice exhaust than your set.

haha, yes I do like the vertical doors but all in time. First Ill start off with the body kit, a small spoiler and paint job. After that Ill start doing more internal and engine things. Thanks for everyones help!!

One more question too, and its most likely my last, With the evo body kit I see the rear of the car is very flat like in the pictures here ...http://www.andysautosport.com/dodge/...i00091967.html ... Do I need to get an attachment for the muffler?? thanks once again!
