Default *pic request* DA with jdm dc2 itr front end?

just wondering if anyone has been crazy enough to try it. it would look like a modernized facelift to the original DA9 DB1 front end. it might be interesting. flame suit is at the ready. thanks in advance

There was a guy on here that did it. I believe it was a red car and it looked really good. I can't find the thread though.

seen it in person once, just looks awkward, the dc2 front end is round, it doesnt fit with the boxy body of the da.

Acutally there is one member on here that actually made it look good IMO but I don't remember his user name.

I can never find a front shot of it but it looks great here's the picture.

He used (I think) 1/2 of the DC2 fenders/DA, hood, and front bumper of the JDM DC2.

I'm also considering trying this.

they're ok, as they resemble the oem headlights. It kind of makes the DA look crossed-eye

That is so the front end from Jon's car!!!! I think that was his name... haven't talked to him in a good while. That bumper is one of a kind! I remember his build pictures where he actually made the bumper lines like that!!! And i bet you that's his modified painted CF hood too!!! There's no doubt in my mind that his old front end!!!

i agree wholeheartedly with this guy. i remember seeing his build thread too, thinking the whole time that was a weird way of doing the conversion. it is very unique to the builder as i have never seen it done the same way before. this is his front end without a doubt. what a trip.

Look at where the front bumper molding use to be.





You can see the lines going from one end to another. And if I recall correctly. He's the only person to modify his bumper like that where the bumper and hood meets.</TD></TR></TABLE>

I did all the body work to that myself. After I sold the car, the kid had it for about 4 months and it was then stolen and completely gutted and stripped. Made me very sad.

Props on your conversion man, they did a pretty decent job.

Here are a couple more pics of mine, and then the after pictures from when it was stolen.
