Another good site is www.howellautomotive.com

I also have aftermarket pedals. I have the Pilot pedals that I got from Howell and they are crap. Don't ever get those; I wouldn't recommend those to anyone[&:]. They keep sliding up and never stay still through 1 trip. I am going to switch my pedals when I get time. Eventually I will get better ones (drill pedals). The best type of pedals have to be drilled. Sparco pedals are drilled and other good products are too. The only reason I didn't purchase the Sparco pedals to match my Sparco shift **** is because the size of the pedals I wanted are too small. Normally universal parts don't work on Neons (particularly the shift boot & pedals).

when i had my neons mounted the side ones are very easy to mount and so is the front one the front one is alot harder to hide but it is doable...now the back one on the other hand is tight as hell since the muffler and exhaust is like not even 5 inches from the bumper but its all very doable my suggestion since you dont know how to do any of it would be to get someone who does to do it...and also if you want a deep sounding exhaust go with the borla or thermal catback good luck with your modding

The reason for the moisture in the trunk is because of bad tail light gaskets. I had that problem and I've heard a lot of neons have that problem. I wouldn't pay them to fix it, just buy thr gaskets from them and take off the tail lights and put the gaskets in yourself...screw labor lol.

there is a plug that I believe the trans and throtle cable come through, you can make the hole a little bigger and run anything right through.
