Newbie with newbie question...
Alright, I finally went out and bought a 03 neon. I wanna start buying parts for my car (exhaust, intake, headers...) but I never see anyting listed for a 03, I see tons of stuff for 02's though. Are they pretty much the same, are Altezza tails gonna fit on my car from the 02's? I went to a dealer and took a look at the difference between the two and found virtually none. Please let me know if these two cars are the same or not. Thanks....

I might be mistaken, but I thought that the 2002 neon's were different than the 2003's? When you go on ebay and look for altezza tail lamps you'll notice that they make some for 00'-02' and then they make some for 03' and up. In my opinion I don't believe that 02' tail lamps will fit onto an 03' or 04'. Could be wrong though.[&:]

RE: Newbie with newbie question...
I found the same thing also, the outside roundness I guess you could say, looks about the same, but they list the item in two different categories, so Crazy Squee, are you saying that they should both fit into my 03 neon??
Also, 2004sxt, what did you think about those ones for the 03 and up, I thought something looked a little off about it. Did you buy it? If you have them on ur ride can u post a picture of it... Thanks

They do that with my car as well. Which is a 1st gen. They list them as 1995-1998 and then 1999 (mine) being seperate.
