I would assume everything you need for a regular front end conversion (Including JDM DC2R front)

So assuming:

Front Bar
Fenders
Bonnet
Radiator Support?
Some welding skills or a good shop to do it

Might be more, might be less

*waits for appropriate members to post*

also headlights, fenders will need to be cut in half and joined up.

[Mr Tec]

so no matter what ill need to shorten the fenders ?

[hisoka]

were are you located, i think my freind got some custom fenders from his last project and it looks awsome.

but usually you need
99 radiator support
99 bumper
99 headlights
EG fenders
99 fenders
99 grill
99 bonnet

remove the whole front, drill out the radiator support. weld new radiator support (spot welds) then bolt up everything to check, adjust headlights for it. line up bonnet with headlights.

now custom the fenders using your EG ones and the new 99 EK ones. use about 1/4 of the front of the EK one and the rest of the eg one. you need to seam weld it.then use body filler and shiet to make it look good.

why do i need to use only 99 ek parts?
eg fenders ??? wouldent i just need ek ones and shorten them ??

[xtercii]

depends if you wanna go pre-facelift (95-98) or facelift (99-00)...

[hisoka]

yea mate there was 2

lol i was waiting for that.... didnt wanna say anything:thumbsup:

LOL what a serious guy. 99 or 97 whatever, facelift or prefacelift.

and eg fenders i said it wrong, you use back of eg fenders and front of EK fenders.

Another way is to cut it out the shape of the EK headlights on ure exisiting ek ones.

gud luck man.. alot of custom work required!! haha..

iv done this on my delsol wif eg front end!

whoz gona b doin the work??
a) panel beater??
b) sum1 who no's how 2 weld??

gudluck

[hisoka]

most panel beaters know the basics of welding. could also try it yourself if your okai with welder. and instead of using ek front fender, just cut out the headlight shape into the eg fender. thats the other way

i personnally think it will be harder 2 cut the headlight shape out..

i havnt compared the ek and eg fenders yet..

[hisoka]

what you do is close the EK bonnet with the eg fenders on, then mark the point were headlight should start and then follow the shape of the headlight, trace it or if you have a fender line it up and trace it. iam just saying its another way to do it instead of welding them together.

^^yea i guess so..
u might b able 2 get away wif doin tht..

Only 1 problem tht can come wif tht is IF the ek grauds have like a inner lip wher the headlights clip into too help holding the headlights up this might not work 2 well..

I no the eg use the fender lip 2 help clip in the indicator lights..
Just a thought..
