Default 2003 sxt to srt4

I was thinking about swapping the look of my sxt for the more aggressive srt4 look. what parts would i need 2 complete the transformation aside from the obvious front and rear bumpers and side skirts?

the only thing youll need is the srt4 washer fluid bottle.. the sxts is too big and wont fit with the srt4 bumper..!
and for the side skirts youll need to drill the holes so you can put them,!
other than that! u might want to buy a grill .. so ppl dont look at your radiator when they see the front of your car.!..

Thanks for the input. But I dont have the money for a complete engine swap. I was gonna save up some money and get the bumpers and sideskirts then when I start working (after UTI) I was going to supercharge my 2.0L -or- get the 2.4L and drop the turbo swapping for a supercharger. I'm not to sure about the turbo because I heard from numourous mechanics (about 4-5 people) that the turbo heats up so much that the block can/will get warped and the seals do too and it's all in all not good for the engine. Also I was going to do a tranny swap from ATX to MTX. I wanted some astetics on the car and I like the SRT-4 look. I'm not trying to be something that I'm not... I just like the way the SRT-4 looks. I know my SXT will always be that. I just like the agressive look the SRT-4 has to offer.

If you still disagree with my choice and reasoning.. let me know.

honestly the best way to go is get a 2.4 turbo, and no u dont have to worry about much since the 2.4 come stock turbo therefore the block is MADE to handle the stress. u would easyly spend around almost 2 k to get ur car to look like an srt4(including paint) and around 1200 to get a tranny swap. with 4 to 5 k u can get a whole srt4 swap including the engine,turbo, tranny swap and labor. its just the best way to go, and honestly once u feel that kind of power, u wont give a fuc how ur car looks trust me

I just bought my sxt in november.. so buying another car and/or selling the one I have now is not an option. maybe I'll just drop a 2.4 turbo in it or supercharge the one I have now. considering how expensive everything would cost.
