well the lines on my car were kinda changed when the front end got smashed in. the conversion i am doing is fenders, lights, sti grille, sti bumper, charge speed lip sideskirts and rear (if the rear fits on an 02 rear bumper) rs hood with no scoop. i was just wondering if anyone has done this. oh and the 04 parts are cheaper. |

From what I have learned I don't believe it is a straight forward install, frame may be slightly different to accomodate the larger lights of the '04, the radiator brackets may be placed differently, etc. What you might want to do is just go to your local dealership, pop the hood of an '04, and take a few notes and pics of the front of the engine compartment. That should give you a decent idea on what may be necessary for a swap. I am sure you can find information on swap 'kits' as well if you search.

Those wheels look like they are Advan RG, just type it into google and there should be a few places where you can get them or just try your local tuning shop.

What kind of impact was it? I've been nervous about the crash-worthiness of my car since I put the TXS FMIC on.
Thanks, Dan |
