Notes:
1.  Rear spoiler could either be a standard after market as shown below by Wings West, or the custom
fabricated metal integrated as shown on the "Shelby" proposal above.

2.  The body kit is mentioned only for reference as to the desired look, however, it is not likely that the
entire kit will be purchased, only the front, as listed above.  This is according the "Shelby" proposal shown
above.

3.  Interior panels and other interior alterations are mostly custom and no actual price can be made to them
at least not at this time.


Exhaust Header:
Pace Setter 70-1215  Dodge Neon 2.0L SOHC

Manufactured using mandrel-bent, mild steel tubing and surface-ground, thick steel flanges, PaceSetter Headers are available with standard black painted finish or Armor*Coat, a polished, 2000 Degree F, metallic-ceramic coating. Each header undergoes an extensive preparation phase followed by two applications of the coating and a high-temp curing process. The Armor*Coat won't discolor like paint, chrome or dull finish coating, reduces underhood temperatures, resists rust and corrosion and is easy to keep clean. All PaceSetter Headers come with hardware, gaskets and illustrated instructions and are backed by a three-year warranty. Header bolts not included.

Exhaust Cat-back system:
Pace Setter Monza  88-1431 Dodge Neon 2.0L SOHC

The exhaust flow of an engine has a direct effect on its performance. MONZA Performance Exhaust Systems utilize the right combination of larger than-stock, 16-gauge, mandrel-bent tubing and low back-pressure, high-flow performance mufflers for cooler, smoother engine operation and increased performance. Each system uses corrosion-resistant aluminized steel and features chrome-plated MONZA Exhaust Tips with Resonators. The finish is a durable black paint. Necessary hardware and instructions are included. MONZA Performance Exhaust Systems are designed to replace the original equipment muffler system and, in many cases, attach to the stock catalytic converter.
