Sup guys, sorry I rarely post here now. Just busy at work all the time, barely have time to even get on my own forum.

Many of you know I did the first coupe front-end conversion on my car. Well I'm looking to sell my car soon and selling it as-is modded is very hard, nobody will pay what I want. Plus letting go of my custom fenders is very hard. I'm thinking about letting everyone have the chance to have a nice coupe front and the possibility of sick headlights and a variety bumpers... by making copies of fiberglass conversion fenders.

Of course no shortcuts will be taken, I want to make the best possible fitment. I've looked into metal and LOL, it's like $100K minimum investment. I've been looking for some good fiberglass guys and found 2, so I think I'm set. It's still very expensive, and I will have to sell my car to fund this project. But I think it will be worth it for me and the rest of the community. So who's seriously interested?

Well this wouldn't happen probably until winter time. I would need to sell my car first and use that money to fund this project, it's very expensive.

For the conversion, you will need these fenders and a coupe bumper, hood, headlights, grille and fender lining.

I wonder how odd it would look with a Coupe front end conversion and stock rear fenders. I would imagine that you'd need to do some work to the rear quarter panel as well to pull this look of properly.

I would love to do something like this one day (well into the future).

Bump For DieselX. Saw this car in person, it is AMAZING with the coupe front end. Instead of doing projector retrofits...get the coupe front end guys! lol. I wish I could do the conversion but I just bought DieselX's rims so i'm tapped until I sell my SF-Winnings.

wow, this car is just ill. My favorite parts are the rear fenders. Smooth lines and aggresive.

Easily one of the most beautiful sedans.

Not sure on the final cost, but both fenders will be between $650-850

Well everyone else who did this conversion (3 ppl? lol) did not do any rear fender work. It definitely looks better with wider fenders, but I mean it could be pulled off without it with a proper wheel stance. I'll advise a fender pull, it's cheap and looks good
