Been pretty busy, All I have done at this point is mocked up the parts and taken measurements.. If you want pics I bcan take pics of the torn dowm from enfd of the car and me standing there with a tape measure... Well I do have the fenders that are cut in half, that's pretty cool too...

$2290 AU is rediculous...

Oh I was refering to the Austrailian website that claimed they made the conversion (on page 5), If I was that company I would definately put lots of pics of that kit they "made" on their website.


I can't wait to see your car when it's done though!

lots of work to make the front end cooler. what's the difference in dimensions? what are you going to have to cut to make it fit? post up the mock-up pics?

because it looks like ****. the lines dont flow and the style is just ugly imo. if you want an fd buy and fd, if you want an fc buy and fc, but dont ruin 2 cars by combining them into 1 god awful pile of garbage

Ok, I am painting an escalade this weekend and then I am back to the grind on these. I do not even plan on using this for myself as my car is in too good of shape (original cond) to go putting this on.. So I may need a local guy to help with fitment.. If you guys think I should bother continuing.. I was not aware there was a kit already out there..

ANyone want to buy my progress... Includes FD hood, fd front bumper, two fd fenders (cut in half) and the headlight buckets, as well as the fc fenders cut to match. I am not going to continue on a project that has already been mass produced.. I thought that was a one off....

I don't think anyones mass produced it, just that shop in Austrailia supposedly, but their price is so high, I wouldn't count it.
