not exactly, check out the fenders as well..those are FD pieces. looks like they molded FD fenders (front portions) onto FC fenders and bolted the FD nose accordingly. those headlight housings are also FD units, not sure about the hood, I bet it's a hybrid as well. beautiful car!!

That looks fantastic. In the Yamaguchi 3rd gen book Mazda's got a mule FC at the Nurburgring with an FD front end on it. It looked good then even grafted on in temporary fashion. I've been wondering for awhile what a full and carefull install would look like.

RotaryExtreme (I think) has a front end that resembles an FD for the FC. Note: I said resembles....
Also, any bigger & better shots of that car? Would like to add those images to my collection!
thanks!!

Hmm...that looks pretty darn good. (At least from the angles of the pictures).
The hood will have to be custom made as well.

holy thread from the dead.
ive been thinking about this for a few years, could i just make alum sheeting to modify the the fc clip so i could bolt on FD fenders and fd bumper cover?
well the answer is yes, but could it be done for under 3k. including parts.
that is what the ACTUAL conversion kit costs, not including shipping costs (which would be ridiculous.. the company imports from jap and then sends it here.)
i have connections to cutters and welders. even a CNC plasma cuter to cut sheet metal (up to 1/4" thick steel) so all the labor would not be too expensive.
or maybe could it be cheaper to find a crashed roller and cut and weld the front end?
