Is the 1st gen to 2nd gen conversion possible? and what would you have to do to convert it.

I most say the Turbo Cuda Kit looks nice but still like to keep an opened mind smile.gif (only little little (did i mension little?) problem i have with it is the rear bumper).

I've seen a body kit called the Studie Kit looks prety good(from what i can see anyway).


this is a pic of it


the Turbo Cuda looks a little better though laugh.gif

Where is everyone seeing this "Turbo Cuda" kit?

Anyways, yes, you can convert your car from a 1st to 2nd gen externally at least. You need new rear fenders and a bit of body work there. New taillights, new rear bumper, I belive a new hatch, front bumper, headlights, bumper support, hood, and a few other things.

I don't think the Studie has been made in quite awhile man.

Welcome to the fold.

I thought they didn't make one for the 1st Gen?

Matter of fact, I'm almost sure of it. The only ones I've seen have been converted.

Damn, well that sucks,

how about this, anyone got any ideas what will make a red 97 tib look sick. I am going to get rims soon as spring hits, and i might slam it down, i am not sure, but any ideas for the 1 gen tib body kit would be great. Thanks
