My friend had a sleeper civic (Yuck, Burnt Rice!) anyways, whenever he would have someone pull up on him he would blow them off the line and they were left wondering how the hell that just happened. There's no greater feeling.

"Honda Civic SI $21,000.00, Subaru WRX $28,000.00, smokin' both with a sleeper neon.... priceless!"

deffantly keep it a sleeper then it looks like "just a neon" that is what i plan on doing when i get my motor built keep it simple and it will be defferent just because alot of people are doing a srt conversions on the 00 to 02 neons, but it is up to you it is your car so do what you want.....that is just my opinion

Its all up to what you want. But if you want an SRT-4 buy one, thats my opinion.

I have one answer, if its an srt-4 then its an srt-4, an sxt is an sxt, so make look CLEAN, maybe a lip kit and lowering spring and rims, maybe some tint, but keep the rest stock (hood, spoiler) MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A CLEAN NON-SRT-4. you'll also get more respect and not get laughed at when someone thinks your an srt-4 an then dosn't hear a turbo. So that what I have to say.

the answer is easy. Keep it looking the way it is. I haven't touched the exterior of my car, though I'm thinking of getting rid of the sport aluminum wheels in trade for some larger steel rims. I like the look of the aluminums but they get a lot of attention.

The sleeper look is the way to go, I think Neons don't get the respect they deserve and it's about time we did something about it.

I have an srt-4 2.4L turbo engine in my 00 neon, it has been swaped i wouldnt put an srt-4 body on a neon thats gay. i have the power to back it up so the ? is should i put the srt-4 body on it aswell or keep it a stock neon body.
