has anyone tried a full coupe front end swap?
man i was just wondering about this topic too and i found this thread! Andrew, this would be crazy. i love the coupe headlights and the choices for bumpers, wider wheels in back, etc... i don't think this would be too hard, if its all cosmetic it can be done for sure. i'm with Tim about having a sedan and being different, we see coupes all the time, but rarely see a nice sedan with something done to it that not many people have. don't get me wrong, i love the coupe but... keep us updated

Sweet! I'm excited for your next update.
How is the progress on the motor? I have had all the parts for mine for months...

I know a couple guys from Baer through UMS Tuning. They are the ones that made the 6/6 kit for TwinSnails. Maybe as your car comes along they will be able to give you a good hook up.

I'm planning on having custom ground cams. the overall duration won't be crazy, but I won't to go pretty aggressive on the ramps though, and as much lift as works well with these heads. that's why the valve springs have been an issue.

Yeah they are still here.

I am getting ahead of myself right now. I was just searching for coupe bumpers.
Do I keep my dual intercoolers and go with a stock 06-07 coupe bumper or the nismo coupe bumper? or, do I switch to the greddy intercooler and go with a big mouth front bumper? for big mouth, I really like Kumura Z bumper, but it isn't open enough for the Greddy IC.......or course, I could get the SFR intercooler for the Z................and go for this look...
