yes the hood closes fine. why was that a problem with some people. well i figured the hood wouldnt be a problem cause i have a hood scoop that i cut out, and also the support brackets up under the hood, are cute for the scoop, and that factory padding is also removed. Its gonna be replaced with brown bead under hood.
Ill post pics first thing in the morning |

i guess its a matter on where u placed the bar, towards the front or back, and also where u driled your holes. I place mine bar towards the front, and kept the first hole by the bar in place, then drilled the other two.

yea I did
I drilled my holes in different spots + I put my bar towards the back, when I went to add the stock one, I flipped my bar around and because of where the holes were drilled, it was impossible for me unless I redrilled. I was completely wrong and Sapperk, can you post a strait down pic of one of the strut towers ? like Hanyo's pic ? I want to compare them. thanks -------------------- |

Ok so a 94-99 neon front strut brace fits our cars after you drill new holes. So what about the rear? Does anyone know of any strut bar that will fit for the rear? Japanparts.com is the only place i have found ANY strut bars for our cars and they are like $150 a piece

OEM GT4 rear strut bar. get the part # from the sticky and put it in here
about $65 shipped and because it is OEM it fits perfectly without modding. -------------------- |

I have the dodge neon front. I bought it from ebay. It's the Megan Racing one, you can find it on their site too. I also have the GT-4 rear brace. I think it did more good than the front one. I'll see if I can get ahold of a camera for pics.
