if you like the look of the 94-97 front end why not just sell and buy a 97? There is one for sale that i know of right now actually. IMO your thought process is a little odd, but its your car and you are the one calling the shots!

Im not sure I understand what you are thinking. You want to repaint your whole car CW and put a 97 style bumper on it? or just put a 97 style bumper on it and leave it black?

Hey thanks for your thought but if I plan on doing this I'll probably end up keeping my 98-01 bumper too.

That's the first time I ever heard of someone wanting to do a old style conversion...a bid odd...

It would be cheaper for you to sell your fpb and buy a cw 97 considering the amount of money you will spend painting it properly (door jams, under hood, etc. etc. etc.).

Just leave it alone and buy another.

I would totally do that if I were rebuilding a theft recovery R, and had to get a new front end anyway. But I think I'd paint it MR.

My "JDM" front end is starting to "grow" on me, now that I've got some fresh HIDs to install in it, with a VIS lip.

Still a good use of a 98 ITR ....
