1st Generation G sedan's mod to 2nd generation G sedan.

I am upgrading my 1st gen gsedan to the 2nd gen sedan. I has S tech tein, front camber kit and axis 19" rims with +35 offset front and +45 offset rear. Wondering if all those stuff will fit on the 2nd gen sedan (especailly the camber kit and the rims.)

and also I am planning to modify the 1st gen sedan HKS exhaust to fit onto the 2nd gen with modifying the rear bumper, will that be a good idea?

Thank you for helping me out

Springs and rims should fit with no problem. The front camber kit probably won't work as the suspension is a little different (though springs from the 1st gen have been successfully used on the 2nd gen). I wouldn't bother w/ trying to mod the exhaust. The 2nd gen has dual mufflers/tips so it would look strange w/ only one set of exhaust pipes out one side. Flow characteristics are probably different. By the time you finish modding it to fit, it would probably cost more than just selling your exhaust and buying one designed for the 2nd gen/

I don't mean putting only one exhaust, I will get one more of the HKS exhaust and put it on both side. Does anyone have a picture of the underbody of the 07 sedan?
and does the oem front lip of 1st gen fit the 2nd gen?

Why would you want to do this?

here a link to some photos of the underside of an 07 (it's just one thread away form yours)

Exactly.

Crespo - You would be spending extra money to buy an HKS muffler section (not very cheap) and then hiring someone to fabricate additional exhaust pipes to splice everything together. You would end up w/ a Frankenstein exhaust with dubious performance benefits and at no cost savings over just selling your 1st gen exhaust and buying a brand new, fully optimized 2nd gen exhaust.
