I dunno. Just an idea.

because then your being a cheap ***.

DO it right or dont do it at all.

You need

Headlights
Headlight bracket
Corners
Grill
Bumper
Fenders
Hood
Lights that go on the bumper

if you dont want to get that then leave your car alone.

Cheap ***???? WTF?

Have you ever seen the conversion done that way? Has anyone???

People are quick to flame something a little different. Now i'm not saying it CAN be done,,,,,but i'm simply asking why not, or has anyone seen that "type" of conversion gone bad?

I think it's gonna look "OFF." Zenki has the round edges as opposed to the kouki's pointy lines. You've asked, we've given you our opinion. Go for it then if you really want to, it IS your car.
just my .02c

thanks...

I actually just got a reply from someone who actually bolted the hood up. he said the hood is too long, and too wide in some places.

So....cancel that idea.
thanks.
