Porsche Front end on FC?
 
I've seen the FD with Porsche front many times but I was wondering if anyone has done the same for the FC?

slidin RX 02-08-12 04:14 PM

I have not, but I have seen people change the square flip ups to round, making it look more of a porsche 928.

SoCalFC 02-08-12 05:02 PM

the FC was modeled after the 944, wasn't it?
so technically the FC is porsche-like straight from the factory.

I believe he might be talking about this...? These remind me of Porsche headlights, but not so much the front end.

Never seen an FC owner be able to afford any sort of decent performing Porsche before

Just like the ones dwb87 and Lovely Idol posted.

I guess it's an FD only kind of thing.. looks gorgeous tho

dwb87 02-09-12 01:18 PM

Personally, I really like the way it looks. I am sure it would be extremely difficult to do this on an FC, though. I won't say impossible, because I've seen some amazing fiberglass work.

If you want a more "modern" look without the pop-up headlights... Then check out RE-Amemiya's FC2000 bumper.

Well to be honest I don't think the transition from a FC front end to Porsche 911 style would look all that good. On another note to do it, make it look decent & fit right would probably cost more then your basic FC owner is willing to spend on a body mod.

Really!? Easy for who?... Extremely easy is changing a radiator cap. Extreme fiberglass body work is on a whole different level.

Infidel 02-09-12 05:24 PM

actually fiberglassing isn't really hard, you just have to plan it all out and not fuck up so you don't spend hours and hours fixing it which is the hard part.

but seriously wouldn't this be like the honda guys who mold in skyline tail lights and shit lol. The FC looks fantastic as it is.

I really don't see the average person taking on a project like this & getting it right. What may be easy for some could be impossible for others.

I know it's not "cute".
It's Freakin RE-Amemiya .

What you're failing to understand is... There's a big skill-level difference between molding in some 911 headlights and modifying the front end of an FC to look like a Porsche 911. You claim to know a lot about body work. I do not, and I am still able to grasp the intensity of a project such as this.

If you're looking to prove something... Then take it on.

Define "decent performing Porsche".

I certainly don't like the looks of those FDs posted. To each their own, I suppose.

That just seems like the lighting it would produce would be minimal and dangerous haha.
