look how dirty my trunk is....

 

pretty hot. Not a fan of the black rims on the SSM but thats only my opinion. its clean though

 

Looks nice. I think that the 99-01 front looks more luxury while the 02-03 looks meaner. You custom fit your 99-01 front spoiler onto your 02-03 bumper?

 

Is that an 99-01 front lip on an 02-03 front bumper? I didnt know that it fit. looks good.

 

alright it looks good but your missing one thing the side mirrors the 02-03 have a different shape.....and i thought the front lip of a 99-01 would look better on a 02-03....but those holes that are under the fogs seem to not flow to well with the lip.....all in all its a good conversion.....

 

i think i like the 99 front end better but it does give the car a newer fresher look...

 

not bad how much did that set you back>?

 

shit when ure on a budget u gonna have to use ur old lip.. THAT SHIT DONT COME CHEAP. 400 bucksss just for the front lip .. SO yes it is the 99-01 front lip.. just gotta cut a lil bit..

 

If you molded that front lip it should, MAKE it look better.

but Still look GOOD

 

looks good

 

Looks great, i like the front lip.

 

thanks

 

 

I like the lip from the 99, but I think that lip is a bit small for that front end. I must say, it does look good though. Good shit.

 

looks good man nice conversion

 

looks good, but i suggest you save up money and get the 02-03 front lip.

 

Lookin good man.....

 

man these 99-01 upversions to 02/03 are happening all the time...soon everyones going to be posting an 6MT conversion complete thread

looks good -- how much did it set you back?

 

Damn DJ, I didn't know you come on here too. Now, you converted your front end too. Looks good. I'll see you when I see you. Later man.

 

Nice, looks good. I still need to get by your shop one day too.

 

Bleh I like the 99-01 but nice job though.

 

Welcome to the club. Nice conversion, but change that front lip.

 

I call dibs on the front lip if you decide to sell it!!!!

 

stock for stock i think the opposite lol... you have to remember his 02-03 lights a black housed



and it looks good

 

thank you sir.. I PAINTED THE HOUSING MYSELF

 

nice......

 

looks good! post up some better pics

 

that looks sick, im really getting sick of my 99 headlights i was never really a fan of them and was interested in doing this. so are you going to let us know how much the whole conversion cost you?

 

well...... it looks like a 02 TL......




















nice rims though

 

it pretty much looks exactly the same, but i dont know shit about 2nd gen TL's


if it makes ya happy great

I tried to PM you but cant..... Newbie issues??? I dunno - anyhow, I really want to talk with you about your recient conversion from the '00 to th '03 front end.

I am on the edge with dreams of doing it and have found an entire 03 front clip with all the parts I THINK I need. Mint pieces (hood, fenders, lights, grill, bumper) needing to be painted up after I install them.

I want to learn a little about the challenges I will run across and if it will be easy enough for me to do. It sounds (after searching) that it may and may not be a bolt up and go kind of deal. Please if you can contact me back here and give me a couple minutes of your time.
Maybe a briefe phone conversation? Your mod looks awesome!!! And I would like to give San Diego (my spot) a similar piece of unknown eyecandy to glance at. Im glad you stuck with your original mirrors too! Sets it appart.
Hope to hear back from you man~
Thanks!!!

I'm gonna jump in and try to help you out alittle if you don't mind. I did the conversion also, I have a 99 w/the 02-03 conv. If you look in the photo gallery under TW you will see pics of my ride. The conv isn't just an easy swap, you have to modify your radiator support, change your hood, fenders, bumper, grille. There are also small things that you may overlook also like your washer nozzels, foglamp wiring, corner light wiring..etc. It's expensive to do(parts, labor) but I love the look now and you would too once you see the b4 and after visions of your ride.....

 

I did the conversion too so i can't say it looks bad

However it seems like the job could use some improvement... the parts dont seem to line up even... and the lip definitly doesnt flow well.

 

I'm trying to convert my 2000 tl also. I just wnted to know what kind of modifications did you make, in order to allow the new hood, to fit on the older version tl?

 

i think the opposite, the fog lights make it look much more luxurious

 

I think you'll need new fenders, headlights, hood, and front bumper in order for everything to line up correctly.

 

looks real good!!! i was thinking about doing that to my old NGP 00 TL.. but i ended up buying the a-spec

 

looks clean, i see a zex bottle in the trunk, what shot u running and what kind of kit?

 

Hood, fenders, headlights, bumper, misc stuff.
