Just get CTR heads and paint it one color(front lip, moldings, sides, roof wing, mirrors) all same color. No need for 99-00 front end, save the money for real wheels or swap.

I agree, keep the 96-98 front, it looks good. PLUS your fitment is excellent, which is hard to do on EK fronts. Most of the 99-00 fronts I see, even in magazines, have nasty front end fitment.

If I were you I'd just get some different mirrors instead of the USDM smoothies, that would make a big difference...

Default Update......


OEM PARTS....

OEM PARTS>>>>



ready for the body shop....








as u can see there's no gaps. or anything wrong with the 99 00 conversion, i decided to shave the front bumper...so looks more clean...and add a Bomex wing. which i still thinking is too big, maybe i will trade for a CTR wing or a Spoon

all comments are welcome thanks!!!!
