Talking 99' to 03' conver.

Howzit bradaz and sistaz...I'm back after a long vacation...missed cali and my wrecked TL...since I got back, I decided to convert my 99 to an 03...its coming out pretty well..don't have pix up jst yet...but they'll be up very soon...so far I got the fenders and hood installed (but not all the way) and now I'm waiting for the front bumper and headlights (id like to really get my hands on blacked out housing...but me no find) my question is..is there any mods I have to do to make this converssion fit? Like do I have to drill any holes? And btw HOW THE HELL DO U GUYS GET THT DARN SIDESKIRT OFF? Cut my fingers 3 times trying to get to tht damn last bolt to unscrew the fenders
Thnx for reading...enjoy ur day

I think you have to change out the front reinforcement bar also. Maybe you knew that already.

Blacking out the head lights is cake man. Grow a set and do it!

^6 speed.. no ocean paint and alot of time and some money.

6 speed swap usually doesnt happen fast. theres alot more involved then most people think

There is nothing you have to do to make it fit. It bolts right in. You dont need a engine swap. Richie makes modules that pretty much make it PnP
