any one know of a kit to put rx8 front onto an FD??

ok so i stumbled across some pics of an FD with an rx8 front on it and I really like it!!! Just wanting to know if anyone knows where I could get the kit from? it looks to be a BN-sports rx8 kit but i cant see the conversion kit on the website and beacuase I neither speak or write Japanese, an email would be pretty hopeless :P

here is the pic I found:

Looks likes bn sports front bumper, hood and fenders. That is going to be EXPENSIVE to get custom brackets and the like made to make it fit, plus all new brackets for the lights. Definitely a unique fd, there is a similar black one floating around that looks much better.

Hey thats fine, each to their own but I like it. I know its a BN-sports RX8 kit but there doesnt seem to be any listing on the website for the rex7 conversion kit, I think they should make it ha ha. This is one of three FD's I have seen had this conversion.

I already have the 99 spec entire front end, I see many others all the time as they are reasonably common over here, I guess if I had this conversion then it would set mine apart from the rest and I dont want to go down the "veilside fortune" kit, c-west or any of the other types of common kits bashing around. I would however change to the RE-Amemiya adgt kit ( i think thats the name, just skipped my mind) as I only know of one car over here with that kit.

If you want to part your parts I"m all ears. I've thought about going feed bumper a while ago because a few people had 99 spec's. But its mostly on the forum, and where I'm from FD's are rare.. I went with 99 spec because its OEM.... Nothing compares..
