I finally get to say it....."use the search feature" this topic has been covered many times before!!! smile.gif

But I'm not a prick!

What your gonna need is new hood, fenders, front bumper and headlights. I've also been informed but not confirmed you might need a new rad support but I doubt it. It will be a bit pricey but worth...check your local junkyards for some of these parts! Good luck!

LMAO..if you think the fenders are the same between the 1st and 2nd gen..you better get your eyes checked there my friend. The fenders are completely different in the area where the turb signals are. But I'm sure you knew that and were only testing us right? rolleyes.gif tongue.gif

I was gonna let him find out on his own cause he doesn't like to hear the real anwser which brings me to the question why did he even bother asking the question in the first place?

just buy a body kit and that should be fine. for one thing a mps kit will remove the vent in the front and make the car look somewhat like a in integra or celica. (i like the mps kit also) or get a kit and modify that to add different lights. I prefer the 2nd look (cuz i have one), but i like the 1st gen also. but, to convert backwards isn't the way to go. I've seen 1st gen front end converted to 2nd front ends. yeah.
