Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

I don't think that it would look all that great, the lines between the generations is pretty different. I wouldn't be surprised if you could swap front ends since the cars are the same platform.
 
The "face" of the 04-08 is a lot bigger looking than that of the 97-03. even if you COULD do it, which I think would be problematic if possible, it'd look plain awful.
 
the whole front clip im assuming??

would look all kinds of wrong, the front wouldnt match the back and visa versa, bad idea.
 


I was going to yesterday, but I was having trouble finding two images of both cars, the same color, in similar lighting, at the same angle. >_>
 
well do what you can with what you have lol, hell,, find a pic of an 04+ then copy the stance with your car, colour is easy, lighting, who cares.
 
haha. go to a parking lot im sure you could find a gp laying around somewhere for a pic. or just anything to get a general idea.
 
how would you attach the bumper? it wouldnt fit nor look good, the headlights and foglights look different and are in different places and the under sides of the bumpers are different, it would be more work for something you will just change back after it wouldnt fit

Click to expand...

You'd have to remove the whole front end. Which is possible. From the bumper to the fenders you can remove EVERYTHING albeit the frame.

Go watch OVERHAULED or something like that, they do it all the time.
 
i appreciate the feedback it was somthin i was just throwin out there i like it when cars get "converted" as long as its done right.. i looked and the lines are quite diff.
 
Only viable choice, if this would work at all, would be a front and rear conversion, and only on a coupe, as the goal would be to look like an 04-08 coupe.
