Default srt and r/t onto se part swap

I tried a few searches but, couldnt find much.
I am sure there is info or a specific threads on this subject.

I was looking for a list of parts that I could use from an srt that will fit my 01 SE.

I believe I read the seats struts and rims fit, but what else?

What about r/t parts to an 01 neon.

Thank you in advanced.

It depends on what your looking to swap over.

Most suspension parts are interchangeable, most interior components are also direct fits. Engine components, transmission pieces, electronics, and other core mechanical parts are not bolt-on. They can be swapped in with a lot of time and labor (and some custom modifications depending on what your doing), but a lot of things can be done with a lot of time/labor/money.

What did you have in mind specifically?

I was thinking about going to some "junk/scrap" yards to see what they had.
I was also looking online but, I obviously had no idea which years / model would fit mine

*I would like to replace my bumper because, its some what worn out.
I could just paint it even though there is one crack

*I need a new fender my driver side fender is dented.
If I could find a different style that would fit I replace both side
OR I can just be cheap, try to knock the dent out and paint it

*At some point I wanted to lower my car a little which means some new struts.

* Swapping out the drivers seat and maybe passenger side

What ever else I could find that wasnt too costly and the would either help my car perform better or make it look a little more unique.

I was hoping to be able to find a nearby yard that had an srt sxe or r/t, that I could pick through.
Unfortunately most of them dont want you in the actually lot of cars.

Thanks

If you replace the front or rear bumpers with any from 03+ Neons, you'll need their headlights or taillights as well.

Fenders are the same from 00-05, so you should be good on that front.

*At some point I wanted to lower my car a little which means some new struts.
If you can get some good, low miles SRT struts, they are comparable to Tokico BLues. If you can't, just get the Tokico's, they are excellent for the price. Also, the Eibach Prokit is the best IMO.

* Swapping out the drivers seat and maybe passenger side
Seat brackets and everything should be good from 2000-2005.
