before I but my TL-S I went to Valley Stream and the salesman showed me an 02 type S with navi and 99-01 Tails. I found it odd. Figured maybe it had been in an accident

Maybe it is a 99-01 and he was in a rush to do the front end conversion.

How do you think the 02-03 bumper would look on a 99-01? I know some molding work would have to be done because of the head lights, but if it was done nicely, do you think it would look good? I want fogs and just love the look of the 02-03 bumper with fogs and the OEM lip kit.

yea i think maybe he got rear ended and he didnt care what taillights he used.


but as for reverse conversion. i talked with bravedemon before and he likes the 99-01 front end better and was thinking about a reverse conversion.

You dont have to mold anything, you use 02-03 headlights and fenders

I know you're not going to show it here until it's done. I just meant that people know that you're working on it so we can get to finally see it when it's done.

A bunch of Mandrel bent Pipe, headliner, bumper, paint, bondo, plasticweld, 30' steel braided line. the rest is a secret

Seems like:

Turbo, sunroof delete, 02/03 bumper modified to fit 99-01 front end, and steel braided line I have no idea..but probably something going from the front of the car to the back..
