I have a 2004 Dodge Neon n-srt4 and I was wondering if it is worth it to dump out the money and buy the hood and the trunk do you guys personally like the look of a carbon fiber hood? I always thought they were cool. But if you guys have one could you tell me whether you like it or not.

Here is a picture of my Srt4 without
it.

To me different colour panels make a car look like a ricer, even if they are genuine carbon fibre.


But hey, its your car if you want to do it, Do it!

That's the caveat of owning an SRT4, people are still gonna call you a ricer if you mod them aesthetically. I'd get a carbon hood/trunk if I could afford it on my 2010 Mustang GT, but hey, if you have the money and don't want to use it on performance mods, by all means get it! If I were you, I'd have an intake, tune, exhaust and coilovers (maybe brakes as well) before buying a carbon hood/trunk, but that's up to you and I don't know if you've already modded the car or not.

Mustangs look mean with carbon hoods. Wish we could get cool cars over the UK, Insurance prices are stupid so most of have to drive 1 litre shoe boxes

@OP if you have money to spend my first priority would be performance, Its all about stealth. Michael has some really good suggestions! start under the hood, not on top of it.

id upgrade supporting mods before a bigger turbo. Need nicer parts before making more power like a bigger fmic, injectors and stuff like that. Id get the hood and trunk carbon fiber wrapped if you don't wanna empty your wallet. I wanna get a seibon carbon fiber hood for my car badly haha.

I would say, they look great cars anyways, and with a carbon bonnet and boot, it looks even nicer. But if you didn't want to splash out on a real carbon one, you could always take the ones on it now off and get them wrapped? A lot cheaper, and you can barely tell the difference!

Wish you could get the SRT-4 Neons here in the UK
