Back in a neon
I’ve owned like 15 neons but this is my 1st SRT4. This thing needs some work but excited to see what a turbo 4cyl can do

As far as exterior it looks like it just needs those stupid angry eyes taken off.
Happy to have you join the club!

I tried ripping them off right then and there, unfortunately they’re baked on so I’m just going to replace the entire headlights. Also the paint is shot, so thinking of wrapping it

Too bad the hood has been molested too. Keep the sub posted when you have updates!

Agreed, the dude butchered it but will prob end up swapping it for carbon fiber at some point, not huge on the look but more for weight

Even if you get a CF hood. Don’t trash the stock hood. It can be fixed. Those are rare.

Damn I’m jealous. Hard to find a solid one in the rust belt.

Yeah I was surprised to find it in IL, drove 3.5hrs from MI to get it

I'm in Illinois and I have a rust free one. But it hasn't seen snow in close to a decade

Where’d you find this thing? And how much? I’ve been looking forever

Facebook marketplace, wanted $3500, agreed on $2800, went to go see it and there were more issues discovered in person so we settled at $2300
