Before we begin, and just in case you were wondering, the
Dodge SRT-4 is the performance version of the ubiquitous
Neon that continues to haunt the strips and parking lots of middle America. The SRT-4 was developed when
Chrysler was stgill in the hands of the
Germans (as
DaimlerChrysler) by their in-house tuner group then known as PVO (which stands for the uninspired
Performance Vehicle Operations). In 2004 the PVO was wisely renamed
Street Racing and Technology (you now see the SRT connection don’t you) and the 4 in the tile is indicative of the 4 cylinders f the turbocharged engine. Knowing all of that you can now sleep easier.
The SRT-4 is a nice looking vehicle and surprisingly quick at that. The fornt seats of the vehicle featured additional lumbar and lateral support in order to assist in performance driving (although I’m not sure how physical driving can be unless you intend to flip your ride). What’s great about the 2004 SRT-4 is that it comes with the interior pre-tuned with a faux CF steering wheel (NICE!), shift boot (the thing that goes around the shifter) and a satin silver “cue” ball shifter knob. These elements along with the special SRT gauge faces and matching silver rings on the
climate controlreally render it the perfect palette for the addition of an
R24 black carbon fiber dash kit. One of these days I’ll actually get around to posting pics but until then you”ll have to trust me on it.
But, I digress. Today’s post is about the aggressive, snub-nosed front fascia and headlights of the SRT-4. I don’t think I need to describe the exterior much since I’ll be showing the pictures shortly but the light smoked headlights really add an extra special touch. I would have preferred the dark smoke or blackout to the light smoke but I think it still works well. Anyway thanks to Brandon in the form of this post and the $20.00 rebate we sent his way and enjoy!
