I went to the junyard today to pull the disc brake calipers and e-brake cable off of a 1998 tiburon. I got there and saw that the car had the 2000-2001 headlights and hood (front end). I said, this isn't a 1998 and the guy said yes it is, I checked the vin#.

I thought to myself (okay...idiot) and let it go because the brake calipers are the same on all RD's.

Anyway, I got a peek inside adn it had the rd1 interior and the rear end of the car had rd1 tailights. wtf? Did any Tibruon come with rd1 tailights and rd2 headlights/front-end? even the 1999's? I thought all tiburons with the rd1 headlights must have rd1 tailights and all tiburons with rd2 healights must have rd2 tailights...am i crazy or did the owner do an entire front end conversion?

I know it's been talked about on here, now I know at least one person has done it. Too bad he wrecked it.

weird....

No, it was custom.

Werd...sounds like he converted it. It's not hard...isn't it just hood, bumper and lights? I think even the fenders are the same between the two gens.

they do that here alot, you take a rd1 anc swap the frount to the rd2 and leave the rear alone. thats how i bought mine 3 years ago. but i also did the rear to rd2 the front conversion is about 1000 dollors and the rear is about 600
