I just bought an 02 Neon SE and am wondering if the 03-05 style bumper will fit on an 02? From what I've read it sounds like all that is needed is the 03-05 front bumper cover and 03-05 headlights...? Is there any modifications needed like extra brackets or anything like that or is it a clean swap. Also since I am looking at changing the front end are there any suggestions as to styles of lights and or bumpers. I'm not looking to spend a lot as this is pretty much just my commuter car... I just want to make it look a little nicer.

 

Pretty much all there is to it! Just swap 'em out! SRT bumpers require the SRT washer bottle though...if you go that route.

 

Cool. Thanks Dart. Do you have any recommendations on exterior... Like headlights, taillights, anything like that?

 

Those are all personal preference. I like the style of the stock pieces, so that's what I'd say. Find black ones if that's the color scheme your doing, or chrome if silver/chrome on the car. Not really a big fan of how most aftermarket headlights and taillights looks for most any car.

 

I agree for the most part. There are some things I like... like HID's and LED's. My car is white. I'm not particularly a fan of white on a car but I'm going to tint the windows dark, get smoked tail lights and side markers and most likely black accents in the headlights. I think that will make it pop.

Do you know of any website or place to get an 03-05 bumper and a decent price? I live in Washington state if that makes a difference. Thanks for all your help!

 

try lkqcorp.com and do an inventory search, they sell used parts/salvage yard, so its possible they would have one, as far as i know they're nationwide, if not id imagine they would ship it to you.

 

i just searched actually they have some oem and aftermarket, id go oem myself, that bumper was $255

 

If you are going to paint it, just get one off a car at the junkyard if it isn't busted up. Same thing, but OEM.

 

And try Rockauto
