he asked what kinda mods needed to be done....now I've never done the swap....but I assume, since the 4dr JDM frontend is more snub nosed you would be better off to do the conversion as SiZ said....but if you want to mod yours....you need to re-bend the hood arc....and modify the corner markers to accept the rounder corner. Now if you dont want to bend the hood then you can modify the bracket to work with the factory hood and lines.....but then the lip edge of your fender is still too long. :2cents:

..plus I think the one-piece lights are alot longer than stockers...so you'd have to hack into your hood and rad support as well...
I've also seen where people have not hacked into the rad support..and let them stick out a bit and 'fill' around them on the fender.. could be cool...could be a mess..
