To do a full Si conversion is kind ricey and expensive... Just get a 99-00 front end conversion with a nice lip and some red/clear taillights. Make sure you have amber blinkers.

Only Si part on my front end conversion is the OEM grille. Reason being that I bought 2 egay 99 type r style ones that broke on install.

OP if you gonna do any looks to the car exclude the spoiler and Si wheels. Just do the 99-00 front end conversion with some nice rims.

do yourself a favor and go all OEM body panels. Aftermarket parts might be cheap, but they're junk.

It can all come from a 99-00, doesn't have to be SI. Unless you want the SI grill and lip.

because you could just buy an si with all the money you spend on the car + trying to convert it. not really the same as swapping a motor that never came with the car.

Avoid making inflammatory comments like this^ one. Stay focused on answering kyden's question. The extra attitude is unnecessary and could potentially derail your thread.

Nice man, keep it up no matter what anyone say's, it's your car and what makes YOU happy.

If everyone had the same taste, ideas, and build then we would all have the same car=boring.
