unlike Honda's you cannot mix and match body parts for any gen 7's. If you do, it'll cost alot of money!

someone posted a Veilside 1st gen (using a 200sx kit), so I guess a lot is possible, but ain't going to be easy, and it'll be expensive. You just want the airdam/bumper, yes? Cause if you also want the wings/fenders it'll b even harder. Maybe it's easier to buy an FD instead, indeed.

It would be just as hard to put a FC clip on. FC, FD - both need extensive custom work.

Anything is possible with enough $, €, £, ¥, etc. However the best way is do it yourself. You need among other things a lot of free time, some body and fabrication skills, and imagination. Good luck that would be interesting to see.
