Whats the deal w/this....??

over the past 2 days I spotted not one but TWO regular neons dressed up like SRTs....meaning SRT hood and wing, but regular neon bumpers. I dont get it...do these people think they are actually fooling anyone?? I mean...at least get a fake FMIC srt bumper and badge it correctly...

...totally weak

thats the thing. maybe there not tryin to make it look like an srt-4. maybe they are not finished the "conversion" yet idk. but i can understand some people.. maybe they dont have the money to splurge and get everything to make it look like something its not..

but you are right i am too seeing a lot of "fake srt-4"

true...they could be in the mail or something. Still...if you are gonna spend all that money building a 'fake' srt-4, why not just sell the car and buy a real srt instead of having a neon that looks like one.

On the same page, im not much into people who badge any car as a more expensive or faster model...like the WRXs that put on sti bumpers..lips..wings..you name it. Who am i though..tomato tomahto

Or, as much as a Mustang lover I am, those DUMBA$$ kids who get v6's or even GTs and throw Cobra bumper or emblems on it. Whats worse is when they don't even do a thing performance wise.

WRB04 · 05-18-2006, 06:29 PM

i hate people who do that too i have seen some really bad mustangs too that looked very ricey

ej20wrx123 · 05-18-2006, 06:46 PM

A year ago i went to the dealership and saw a new str-4 for 19 and change. I was like damn i might sell my subaru and get one of these....then i realized that it is a srt-4 package. It comes with the hood, wing, and maybe a dual exhaust. Competely dumb if you ask me but i have seen a couple of them on the road i bet thats what you saw.

htheduck · 05-18-2006, 07:08 PM

It's the R/T you guys probably saw. I think it's packaged like an SRT4 minus the rocker panels, front fascia, and big wing.

LSHatch · 05-18-2006, 07:16 PM

What about RS's dressed up like WRXs?

Every car has its own like that. Camaros, Mustangs, Lancers, Imprezas, Integras, etc.

SpendOne · 05-18-2006, 07:25 PM

What about the mustangs with GTR emblems? ROFL!

xLaurenx · 05-19-2006, 01:36 PM

lol i just saw one today actually!

an orange one. the guy driving it tho didnt look like he took the time and moeny to actually get the SRT hood and wing. i think they do sell some like that. i didnt get a chance to see if it was an R/T or not...

smoger · 05-19-2006, 01:47 PM

Broken5hift · 05-19-2006, 02:15 PM

i lost faith in dodge when they came out with the srt design for the base neons.

****ing failures

sisforsurfing · 05-19-2006, 02:20 PM

I think you're seeing the R/T's, too. They took me by suprise a few times, I had no idea what it was.

I like STi bumpers and lips (sometimes wings) on lesser model Impreza's. Factory STi stuff is clean and looks good, sets off a WRX or RS nicely. STi badging without at least an STi swap I don't like though.

The only thing cooler than a WRX with STi body parts is an STi with WRX body parts (and badging

)

smoger · 05-19-2006, 02:49 PM

srt design's are not R/T's.. none of them. r/t's dont have the large spoiler, don't have hood scoop, etc.

they look like a normal neon with different badges.. i dont see how anyone (who is a car enthusiast) could mistake them for an srt-4

My mistake. I thought they were normal neons but had the scoop for some reason.

I've seen two in the area with nothing but the scoop and dual exhaust, which looks ridiculous.

EvlEgl · 05-19-2006, 04:12 PM

is there a diff motor in an R/t? or is it just apperance

r/t has 18hp over the base neon, nicer interior, wheels, etc ,... but was priced too close to the srt to survive.

EvlEgl · 05-19-2006, 04:20 PM

wo hoo 18 HP WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
