2004 Dodge Neon SRT-4 Extreme Concept (Post #2)!
Here is more information I found on the 2004 Dodge Neon SRT-4 Extreme Concept that debut at SEMA this past fall!
The asphalt-kicking sport compact Neon SRT-4 is pushed to the next level with this Extreme project car shedding pounds and bulking up its muscles. Extensive use of lightweight carbon fiber and composite parts has reduced the weight of the Dodge SRT-4 dramatically - by an estimated 500 pounds compared to the production SRT-4. More exciting is that the SRT-4 Extreme features a prototype edition of a potential future Mopar Performance turbo upgrade kit and a ride-height-lowering Mopar Stage 3 coilover suspension kit. The project car also features a Mopar short-throw shifter, Mopar blow-off valve kit, Borla catalyst-delete resonator, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup race tires, brake kit from StopTech, SSR semi-solid forged wheels, six-point harness from TeamTech, Recaro race seats and Moroso detachable steering wheel. Equipped with a subtle body kit, it features a subtle bright silver metallic exterior, with lightweight carbon fiber hood, deck lid, front and rear fascias and door assemblies. Created with the track in mind, the SRT-4 Extreme also demonstrates the Neon's street potential.

I am going to get a different hood. I mean i like that OEM hood. But after being in japan for 2 years. Cooling the engine, instead of the turbo is the why to go. I just want to know what else is reduce on the car besides truck and hood?

Yeah, so do i. Im done for now on my engine...now ill work on my suspension. Though the Carbon Fiber looks good(SCOOP), its not design like the factory as it directs the air flow over the Turbo. the CF does not. Unless there's a newer type.

this is what modern performance put for there oem hood. This hood, manufactured by Fiber Images, is of the highest quality.
The hood retains all functionality (except windshield squirters), and will use the factory trim piece for the hood scoop.
Take time to review these pictures closely. You will notice no short cuts in their manufacture. Take notice of the deep glossy clear coat. You will notice very few if any flaws. No black banding around the edges, just pure carbon fiber.
The underside of the hood is finished like the factory steel piece. All under hood ducting to cool the turbo is present and functional.
Note: Hood pins may be required, check your local laws and statues.

Fiber Images do make a good hood. I am saving my money to buy a silver CF hood to match my silver srt-4

Your right, that hood that they make has the under hood ducting and I apologize, I was wrong. I thought that this was the same hood used by Sport Compact Car magazines project SRT-4, which doesn't have the under hood ducting. But the problem is with this hood your paying only for looks since it has a steel underside and is only slightly lighter, if any at all, than the stock steel hood. Most CF and FG hoods are a lot lighter in weight due to the elimination of all of the steel, especially the underside bracing. I cannot see paying almost $600 for a lighter look, besides I've never cared for the CF look, to me it looks like the modern day plaid. It's a great light weight and strong material that I would like to use, but I would have to paint it.
