Default EG6 front on a EG9?

Has anyone attempted this? What all is needed, obviously the fenders, side corner lights, bonnet, and bumper; is that it? The wheelbase is 50mm(about 2") longer. Looking at the 2 fenders, from the doorjam it looks like the same distance, haven't physically measured it. The one problem I have noticed is the A frame, it is different in shape slightly. So not quite sure if it will look decent or even bolt up properly. Please anyone respond...

Want to get a carbon bonnet, but there isn't a company over here that makes one for the sedan.

Thanks,
Chris

Nobody knows? Maybe nobody even gives a ****, no problem. I'll attempt anyways and see how it comes out. Or does anyone know if a company makes a carbon bonnet for the EG sedan?

I don't believe it fits properly unles u get some custom work done.

That why you have to buy all those parts. It's not the just the parts that are different, the bumper support and parts of the frame are diff. as well.

Why not just modify the bonnet insted of the entire front end of your car ?

Good question? I actually like the look of the hatch front alot better than the sedan front. This all may be mute anyways, as I might just get rid of it and pick up a new ITR or CTR. The ITR is like $3000 more, and also costs more every year for road tax and insurance here in Japan. Even though it is under 2.0 liters, it acquires the 3 series plate, something about the width of the car from what I have been told.
Thanks for the couple of replies.

Chris
