I have an 02 neon and recently hit a deer, and I'm gonna do the work to repair it. I was wondering if the bumper cover (nosepiece) was the same on the 03 and up neons? Thanks alot.

 

Nope...in 03 the nose changed. You gotta get one for an 00-02 neon. You can use the 03-05 nose just have to swap headlights which would be more work and money.

 

yup there is a big difference between the 02 and 03+ front bumpers. You could, if you wanted to while your replacing the bumper, go ahead and purchase the 03 headlights and then the 03+ bumper would fit

edit* DARNIT lowslow beat me too it. CURSES! the headlights you can find cheap enough on ebay etc. so its not a big project but its up to you to change the style of your front bumper

 

Sorry, 00-02 only is gonna be a direct fit.

 

Thanks alot guys. Saved me alot of grief at the junkyard!
