That looks tough.

How much fabbing would you have to do though? I'll have to check out an srt-4 front end next time I see one to get a mental picture in my head of where one car starts and the other ends.

I vote to do it!

The upper vents kinda make it look like a Daytona squished an SRT4. Looks interesting, though......

I would keep the top ports the same as what stock is, but I really like the lower portion of the front end, It would be a cool gfx to use.
