all conversion are going to cost more then you think. i would just buy a Si Lip and a Type R Grill JDM head lights and call your front end good.

why make your car look like something its not?

Generally how much do front end conversions run?

depends on how much the front end will run ya, how much materials is going to cost, so probably around 2-5 grand with paint

How? Really good deal? Hookup?

New/Good parts are going to be:
$100-150 for fenders (almost anything)
$100 for a bumper (if we say eg civic/del sol or 'teg = minus grille)
$100-200 for a hood (new/used --- add another 200 for a decent cf hood)
$500+ for painting
$massive range of prices for headlights (and corners) ($50-200)

(rough prices)

Now throw in the skills for someone to mold that shit. Thats where the big bucks are if you dont know how or have a friend how can hook you up.

In the end youre left with a car that has no idea what it is supposed to be. All that cash couldve bought a lot of other things or lumped into 1 nice engine goodie - ie turbo or build

500 for painting .... where do u get your shit painted...
it would have costed me 600 all together for the sol to a 00 civic conversion...

Whoops, I guess I didnt factor in hood painting price
fender for me is 125 and bumper is 225 = 350
add another 125 for another fender and its roughly 500
So, Id imagine another 100+ for a hood, yeah.

Oh, and my bodyshop is Clarkston Autobody&Radiator
