I happened to see a first-gen Neon on the road today, kind of a unicorn around here (Midwest)--they've all rusted out by now. I learned to drive in a 1995 Plymouth Neon, so I have a soft spot for them.

If the underside of the second-gen is anything like the first, a smaller muffler and a proper diffuser at the back of the car should be in your future. Also, these cars don't have an engine undertray, do they? Fitting one should improve Cd and radiator efficiency, as it helps decrease engine bay pressure.
