Other than what you have done, I'd put on a stock rear bumper w/single exhaust. Faux dual exhaust on a 4-banger is retarded, and who knows you may actually pick up a bit of power going to single.

If it were me, I'd rip off all the SRT-4 "unique" body parts and put on panels from the base model Neon or the SXT or whatever.
I was thinking about doing the sxt look...would be pretty sleeper,the dual exhaust isn't hooked up(ziptied to a brace in the back for reasons...POLICE!) its running a 3 inch open downpipe

Ditch the rims, though they do look better in black. But a nice set of aftermarket rims would set it off nicely. And thank goodness you got rid of the shopping cart handle. Aside from the rims, your set to just concentrate on seeing what else you can break in the drivetrain.

I've been running open o2 housing (loud) for a few months now with no exhaust at all with no problems. I've floored it past cops without realizing it, shit a brick, then realized that they just don't care as they fly past in the next lane at 15 over. It's a very mean sound, open o2 with the wastegate open, so unlike the tinny sohc d-series exhaust note it's not so much irritating and high pitched as it is ungodly loud and painful.

Oh, the Skittle looks 143% better without the wing. Of the changes you've made that's the one I like the best- especially in the rear-view photo, the car looks nice. It's a shame that it's so rare for someone to see that view.
