what do u guys think of this front clip?

Okay i have been looking for a long time for an affordable headlight conversion and instead i found this for $500.00 shipping included, what do u guys think? it looks like the entire front dam doesn't run flush with the fenders and it says it has to be installed by an auto body do u guys think its worth it?

I think it would look pretty sweet if it had 2 on each side instead of one, like the integra, but like that, it looks somewhat gay, and annoys me to look at it.

Id Im not mistaken, that was a bumper that a forum member here made. It was molded from a Z32 (newer 300ZX) front bumper.. I personally think it looks very nice, other than Id like to keep the pop-ups. Maybe you can just cut those headlight panels off?

With the spaces off the sides of the bumper, it looks like it would only be part of a wide body kit where you would need fenders to match too.

Yeah, that probably wouldn't be too bad. Maybe something like the projector headlights on the new STi WRX??? It's just not feasible putting round things on a squarish car... Perhaps on an FD it'd look a little better. (Not the ones in the picture though)


Quick Reply: what do u guys think of this front clip?
