Default alrighty then.....nother question

IF you could change any visual cue of the SRT-4, what would it be? You know,,,,something that would make the styling better looking.

My choice would be,,,,the headlights. I like the front end, very well, but I really don't like the rough cross eyed looks of the headlights. Also,,,,,I wish the body, side panels, were a little more muscular looking. That's the only thing, visually, I would change.

I also would agree, the car should have been a bit more muscular/powerful looking. Granted its a Neon, but if I had to choose one thing....I'd probably choose a different hood....viper style or similar...

A 2-door version would be cool.

But I agree w/ the headlights thing, probably the whole front clip could have been more "viper inspired." The round "Hi!" Neon headlights should have been tossed in favor of lights similiar to those on the Viper.

2 door would of been awesome. headlights definately got to go to big and shiny but then again i guess the aftermarket companys fix the flaus the manufactuer couldnt do.there is really one thing that stands out that would be the ride height, it sits high and its raked in the back other than that got to love it.

I'd probably only change the rims, to something similar to the vipers, or a rounder version of the wheels on the new 06 Rams....THOSE 5 spokes are sweet looking.

Other than that I like the way they look. I don't have any complaints whatsoever.

I may have offered stitching in the headrests and different colored seat options also. 800 for Katzskins is awful expensive.

A slightly larger turbo with better flow characteristics at the outlet and an adjustable wastegate capable of holding 24 psi, and a capable fuel delivery system.

Oh wait - that isn't cosmetic.

If there is any area that needs careful attention on the srt-4, it is the rear. That is what people will see most of the time.[sm=gears.gif]

At first it was the wing, but I got used to it. (a little too boy racer without true functionality) then it was the headlights, but, I fixed that for 20 bucks with vinyl. Then it was the seats, cosmetically ok and certainly functional, but a pain in the a## to get in and out of, (I'm 6'3" and the car is a long ways down. Keeping in mind I've been driving a Jeep and/or a truck for the last 5 years) but, I'm getting used to them too. Then it was the skinny tires, but I fixed that. Now it remains only the angry stinkbug stance that kind of bothers me.

not sure that I would change anything... Im pretty content with the way the SRT-4 looks...
Though a bigger turbo and stock 300hwp would be something else!
