just curious i know one member that did the swap. i just got in a car accident and they are replacing the whole front end. is the 03 front end a bolt on swap or is anything different. just curious.

not too sure but I think most of it will line up but the lights and fog lights grill and maybe hood might be diffrent... (not too sure one the hood)

@cUr@-TL

i voted for the '03 front-end.. but i think it depends on the look you're going for... if you want the "luxury" look... imo the 99-01 front-end is better... but if you're going for a sportier look, then the '02-03 front-end is definitly the way to go...

if you wanna know more about doing the conversion ('cuz there's definitly much more than just replacing the headlights/grill.....), PM me...

You'll have to replace the fenders hood and move some stuff around under the hood. New front bumper. It's a costly endeavor, but if your insurance is taking on most of the bill I'd say go for it.

it all depends on wich one YOU like better. i love the front end of my 2000.

Just remember, you can't get a Mugen grill for the 02-03.

well i got in an accident so from the fenders up has to be replaced. im not to worried about the mugen grill. it would be nice but im sure something like that would be coming in the near future.

yea but do you need a bumper, hood 2 fenders, 2 headlights, and misc other little parts?

It would be nice to do the swap as im thinking of doing one. Do a search, acouple others have done it.

Insurance is paying for this but is there a difference in price between the fenders and other parts, they are not going to pay for the conversion if it is more expensive

Rpappi

well im going to see how much the diff is. they can charge the insurance alittle bit more and get that stuff for me. he does things like that from time to time

Rpappi

too late i just found out they already ordered the parts. but im going to be picky about the work they do. no more liscence plate holes in my bumper.
