RE: Carbon Fiber Hoods
They might have a gap, but I can't remember where I saw a regular neon with an SRT-4 power bulge hood. (why the bulge is powerful I wont ever know...okay that sounds bad ill shut up now). I'll try to find it again. But it fit okay, or appeared to anyways. Picture angles can greatly miscontrue things, or hide things that normally wouldnt be hidden.

RE: Carbon Fiber Hoods
HAHAHA!!! I like that one.[sm=icon_rofl.gif] They make all kinds of hoods for the various Neons, even the Viper GTS style hood with the small scoop up front. The only one they don't make for ours is the only one that I want which is the AAR Cuda style fiberglass hood with the functional scoop seen below:

I give up I can't find it. Mitch that hood would flow really well with the lines of the car because of how curvy it is. I dislike the look of the IP2 due to its edgy nature as Ive said before. Just doesnt look good.

I highly doubt it would look stupid. It would look far from it. It flows with the body lines. I love the style of the PB stock hood. Thats why my CF is the same style...it just looks so damn good.

Morning Pride. I think you should look into the IP2(IPP) Hood. It was made from an SXT mold...so while it doesn't fit the srt-4 right due to the front bumper differences, it would fit an SXT/SE/R/T perfectly, because of the mold it was made from. This is according to a neon sxt owner who bought one.

I love the hood on my car. Nothing but compliments from people. I wish I was smart enough to post pics here. But it lines up great. The only bad thing which isn't the hoods fault is it had a hairline crack in it at the front scoop. I called Modern Performance and they wanted me to email pics but you can't see it in pics, only in person. Luckily its not too noticable. I'm ready for the trunk lid now.

RE: Carbon Fiber Hoods
The IP2 hood doesn't. The IP2 hood is this hood I've attached. It looks a bit different, but was molded with a non-srt hood. It was molded with an SXT hood, which is why it would fit your car better than it fits the SRTS (with the gap as seen in Tipop's Installation thread, and as seen on the picture of the yellow hood above). The Modern one, is an OEM style hood, and I think youd have a bit of fittiment issues right where it meets the bumper...but I doubt anything major at all, if even that. I was just mentioning that the IP2 would be a more perfect fit for your car than the power bulge hood.
