paint the bumpers and it looks good!

[Derk_eliso]

you have the same tires as I do, kumho 711's, same trim too 215/45/R17... yeah painted the bumpers black, tint your windows, and pull those door strips off and you're in there bud!

Are those door stripes two sided taped on or will it leave holes in the doors that I'm going to have to cover up like some of the side modlings out here on some vehicles?
** Also ClassicRock/ I want that front end conversion, I think that wil look better and Ive been trying to find a stock spoiler that come on these cars but can't so I might have to get money str8 and buy that Wing you have.............

[JStumpalump150]

no, the door strips wont leave holes, and while your taking the door strips off you should take all the badges off. and you arent going to find the stock spoiler for your car cuz it wasnt made. your car is a sadan and didnt come with spoilers back then. i would just get an aftermarket one cuz if you do manage to get a stock coupe spoiler you will have to drill holes anyways and you also would either have 4 brake lights if you wire it up, or you will have a light that looks weird cuz it doesnt do anything if you end up not wiring it up. thats just my opinion

You said you already have a bodykit? Then don't waste your time and money painting the bumpers.
Take all the badges off the hood and trunk and side moldings off the doors.
Tint windows.
Lower it.

thats why i did the conversion. I hated how the front ends on the 95-99 looked. But the body kit isn't cheap i'll tell you that much. I had to special order mine to get different side skirts.

[d1nonlyjv43]

if i was to do that conversion those side skirts from the 95-99 wont fit so i would have to change those too?....

steps on taking off the door strips? will i need to buff it or something after they're off so it doesn't have a line? thanks

Depending on how old the car is and how much sun it has seen in its life you may not want to take the side trim off at all. The is newer looking under them and at times the car may not look like the color has faded that much but the thing to remember is that the car fades evenly and its not like it happens over night so its not something your going to notice that much. Really need to think about it before you do it.

Any 4-door side skirts 95-05 will fit, along with the stock Z24 side skirts will fit as well. So will Sunfire ones. My skirts are RKsport Import fighter 4-door skirts.

[d1nonlyjv43]

so basicly all i need for the front end conversion is hood,bumper,and fenders

[Lances133]

The hood and fenders are the same. 95-05

[Classicrocjunkie]

Fenders ( you just cut the corner marker bracket off)
Hood as lance almost said 100% correctly are the same 95-02 ( 03-05 are different lance, sorry)
00-02 headlights and corner lamps
9007 pigtails ( I have a detailing wiring diagram for these)
00-02 Headlamp mounting brackets
New bumper

...thats it.
