Basically the whole front end panels. Hood, fenders, rad and bumper support, bumper and the headlights.
*edit - not 100% sure on the need for the new rad support.

hood fenders core support bumper assembly. i had a 98 front on my 94 coupe till some drunk guy totaled. finally building my car again after a year and going S14. but yeah you will also need your fenders too. have to cut and splice the two fenders together. it looked nice when it was done.

I think it'll end up costing too much when all you want is the CTR headlights. You'll have to do a whole front end conversion just to sport the headlights.

No one has really gotten close to a real CTR light by painting them, but they look cool anyhow. I used Duplicolor Gunmetal.. #314 if I remember right. Looks pretty bad ***.. not like CTRs, but still seperates my car from any others around here.

They come with the corners, and the headlights are made of glass. They also have provisions for the JDM style city lights.

I'm not trying to thread hijack or anything, but would painting the inside of the light the same color as the car look like ***? I'm wondering for my car because gunmetal would look funny with my color. (see my avatar)
