Definitely interested in seeing this ! Glad someone is doing something different.

 

My sedan headlights > coupe headlights

 

I think it would be an awesome project.

If the front fender fits, order up the APR wide body kit and just mold in the rear fenders. The rear bumper would take a bit more work but I think it is very possible.

But... why not just talk to Rookie and have his shop out here make you a custom wide body with a custom front end. I was talking to him about it a while back.

 

sounds cool !

keep us updated

 

yep, ttrank headlights are awesome, as are the guy that retrofitted the suv ones that look like bug eyes, cant recall the name of the car, looks like some ion
cannons or something.

jon!

 

The Q45 ones with all the little projectors?

I have not seen someone who used SUV projectors?...

 

yeah thats the one im thiking of the Q45

that one looks crazy, i really like yours to

 

I like the Q45 ones a lot and was going to do them but I wanted a hi/lo beam and more color with a very clean cut-off which the Q45's don't offer.

Sorry Andrew.

Back on topic.

 

It would probably be cheaper to buy a G35 coupe, I mean pesonally I cannot see a way to justify the cost- and i'm not cheap. I think the sedan front can be made better than the coupe with a 1.7" drop, nismo front and 8" wheels.. wayyy cheaper and less risk of your motor falling out on the freeway

 

Andrew has a lot of time and money into his sedan. Plus he uses it for work. Like many of us, we need/want a 4-door car.

If I had wanted a coupe I would have a coupe.

 

Richi3,

there is no risk in the motor falling out. If my assumptions are correct, it is only a cosmetic makeover. the structural framing is totally identical between the coupe and sedan. the panels should bolt right up in the same holes! there probably will need to be some body work to make the fenders blend with the sedan side skirts. even the front radiator support piece if the same. the coupe headlights should bolt up to the same spots!

 

Thanks Tim.

if this works out, I'm sure you'll want to do it, too. Wouldn't it be great to have all the coupe hood and bumper choices!! plus, you'd be able to have the same huge selection of wheels/offsets available that the coupe/Z have, too. the rear fender flares are going to be more involved, but it may be easier than I think.

 

how much wider is the coupe versus sedan??? can't be that much, but obviously enough to reduce wheel/tire options

 

the coupe is probably 2" wider than the sedan. at least 1" wider on each side of the car.

EDIT: just looked it up.....69" for the sedan width.....71.5" for the coupe. so, 2.5"

Tread Width Sedan: 59.1" Front / 59.3" Rear
Tread Width Coupe 60.4" Front / 60.8" Rear

 

Let me know how this goes. I must say that I'm thinking about it...

We always seem to do things the same, just one on the east and one on the west.
