In 2003, the band's website stated they had "decided to undergo a mutation" and announced the launch of Chris Corner's new project, [[IAMX]].<ref>{{cite web|title=news |url=http://www.sneakerpimps.com/news.html |website=Sneaker Pimps |archivedate=12 August 2003 |deadurl=unfit |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20030812003638/http://www.sneakerpimps.com/news.html }}</ref> A fourth Sneaker Pimps album was demoed but shelved, and is referred to in fan circles as [[SP4 (album)|SP4]]. Many of the songs would be finalized and recorded by Corner on the first two IAMX albums. Although the band's website hinted through 2005 that new Sneaker Pimps material and 5.1 Surround Sound re-releases of the first two albums were on the way, these plans never materialized and band members focused instead on varying side projects.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sneakerpimps.com/ |title=SNEAKERPIMPS.com :: official website |deadurl=unfit |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090201201449/http://sneakerpimps.com/ |archivedate=1 February 2009 }}</ref>

In December 2016, Dayton (under her solo artist name, [[Kelli Ali]]) announced details of her forthcoming project called "Ghostdriver" - A new solo album & Soundtrack to her independent feature-length film debut (featuring Ali as writer, director and performer), which would be produced concurrently via a crowdfunding campaign on the [[PledgeMusic]] platform. On 26 January 2019, a digital edition of the full 15 track "Ghostdriver" album was pre-released exclusively to fans who had donated to the campaign, with an announcement that her former Sneaker Pimps band-mate, [[Liam Howe]], contributed extensively to the mix and additional production of the album, notably marking the first collaboration between two original Sneaker Pimps band members since their disbandment. In addition, the announcement confirmed that the full commercial release of the album will follow later in 2019 in conjunction with the release of the final film. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/ghostdriver |title='Ghostdriver' Ghostdriver - Album Exclusive |website=PledgeMusic.com |date=2019-01-26 |accessdate=2019-01-26}}</ref>
