The conversion was an event. You have to gut the interior completely, pull both fenders, pull the bumper, pull out the old wiring harness, run your new one, take out the windows, put the power motors in the doors, while you're in the door fish around with the door locking mechanism, and have plenty of advil laying around. It was bad times, I was working alone, I had only seen this done once and the only thing I helped the guy do was pull his interior. I drove to work with just the driver seat in my car until I finished, but it's worth it.
Parking pole came with my bumper (installed), cause I got it out of a malaysian junkyard (RHD). Most guys I guess get bumpers without the pole installed, I dunno, but I play the hand I am dealt and that's what was available/cost effective. The grill is also from the same SiR (4dr) I got the bumper from and I painted the chrome trim to match the rest of the car. It is a subtle difference, but it was included so why not go all the way?
Future plans include selling the car, if you look in Pic #3 my Cobra is already gone (thank you wife), and paying off Pic #3 & #4 (new Si).
Looking back I did have a chance to pick up a GSR longblock for 900 and passed it by because it had alot of miles and I had no idea where to find a transmission or wiring harness. That would be the one thing that I would change about my build AND never going to that shady body shop, (Kurosky's auto) in U'town, Pa. they jacked my car up.
Thanks for everyone's friendly words, I wasn't sure if what I had done to the car would be popular or not.

Spoon calipers are worth more than my car, I think I color matched to "spoon spec" quite nicely though.
I am missing the mirrors and they would probally finish the car off nicely, but my wallet would surely miss the $150 more.
Thin side molding never really appealed to me, especially when mine is just fine.
What's wrong with rota slipstream? I got a good deal (400 w/ 4 tires @ 75% tread).
Did I mention that I am really cheap?
