Re: How much would it cost? Front end Conversion
Fenders-averaged about $34 each
Stock hood-about $250
Bumper-$38
Headlights-150
so parts look to be just about $506
Is there anything else i'm missing?
I can take care of the paint work :)Comment

Re: How much would it cost? Front end Conversion
the biggest line-item on your list is going to be paint...so if you can color match the parts you're looking for, that will dramatically cut your total costsComment

Re: How much would it cost? Front end Conversion
lol didn't think bout the harness. I've already got paint where i had my car painted, I can't color match it unless somebody has used the same exact paint as me with the same amount of metallic. I could find one close but i wouldn't think close enough lol my colors gotta match exactly or it will bug me.
Lol i actually found a better solution just about 20 minutes ago...I found 1999 V6 car im lookin into.Comment
