Bugeye to 04-05 front end? part 1

Bugeye to 04-05 front end?
Does anyone have any links? I've seen the fenders hood and front bumper for reasonable prices. The headlights would have to come later but I just need to know how much work would be involved in doing that. Thanks!

Nick @ Section 8 (stealth-wrx) did this conversion to his drag car...

It's been done before. I've considered it, but it just ain't worth the cost

You can. Just do the opposite of the bugeye->tear dropped conversion.

i would like to do the 04->bug-eye conversion...
edm/jdm projector headlights are sweet.

i wonder how much something like this would cost?
silver04rs 01-23-2005 09:37 PM

just trade. :rolleyes:
veightkiller 01-23-2005 10:08 PM

that's alot of work and $$$ on labor plus stuff....well if guys are willing enough to do that modd its up to u....or just trade ur car to the 04 ones..and maybe the market value for your car will go down....if u have that canversion?
Handsdown 01-23-2005 10:58 PM

anyone with a white 04 want some bugeyes? i ain't got no money...
UGprez 01-23-2005 11:12 PM

Bugeye for life... :banana:

Also interested to convert to bugeye... anyone in NE? I have a JUN bodykit for my old '02 in the basement I can't seem to get rid of.
baileypicks24 01-24-2005 04:09 PM

Hmmm, should we start a front conversion trade thread?? It seems as if there are takers on both sides....
2ndGearFling 01-25-2005 12:10 AM

Well....I weld. I talk to nick at section 8 now and then, he told me what has to be done. Its not hard. 4 Hrs of work. Best Friend owns a great collision place. Soooo.......any 04's for the taking in the Michigan area???

how much would the parts cost for that conversion?
wrxxxrated 01-25-2005 11:14 AM

if you were to buy all the parts and not swap...I think it was something like 5K? Its in one of the links...
subalou1 01-25-2005 12:37 PM

5 is too much
wrxxxrated 01-25-2005 01:01 PM

tell me about it...that is why we need to find people to swap with :)
baileypicks24 01-25-2005 01:04 PM

Maybe if we get a couple more interested people we'll start a front conversion thread no?
wrxxxrated 01-25-2005 01:42 PM

Agreed!! I am willing to take a road trip somewhere...It would be GREAT to do 2 or more at a time!!

I was just thinking how sweet it would be to buy an 04/05 STI and do a bugeye swap with the EDM projectors.

Someone do it!!
RumblingREX 01-26-2005 07:44 AM

I am interested in doing the swap! I love the bugeye look. There are several items that need to be discussed.

1) Paint colors. All but black I think would have a succesful swap. I know with my color I am looking at a paint job off the bat.
2) I love my adjustable HIDs. I personally would want a set of EDM/JDM HIDs to replace mine.
3)I am paying off the car, I don't own it yet. When I traded in my 02 I spent a full day and half undoing all my mods and I still left scars(i.e. FMIC). If I do this swap, I don't think I could convince a dealer it is a true STi! But I never plan to get rid of this car.. that's what I said about the 02 too. ;)

I am thinking of raping a car in a junkyard. That way I have the parts to turn it back into stock. Lession learned, I kept all my 02 parts and I was glad I did!

Just some things to think about.

Me Tooo!!! Sorry, but the teardrops are bland. The car lost the edginess. I'm getting an 04-05 STi scoop that fits the 02, to get rid of the bland, rounded scoop for one with some edges and creases.

You'd think that the VIN would be enough but a friend with a Cobra has had people claim that his car isnt a cobra and that he just faked the VIN.
