be like it is
there have been a ton of other show cars with bmw lights, skyline style, nissan silvia, merdeces...etc...

its doable, with time and experience or money.

oh DUH...how could i forget the torneo front end swap. i know a couple people have done it, though i can't remember names. thats where i would start. a canadian member was selling a front end a while back for like $600...at least i think it was torneo.

I wouldn't do this. I've heard of 2 members in socal that bought that whole front end then realized there's no way it could fit our cars without massive modification. It always looks like it'll be easy at first. :/

i would think it'd be easier since the headlights are the same general shape, rather than the odyssey or any other differently-proportioned light...

Sakura is the only one on our forum with a light swap as far as I know... and those headlights are almost exactly the same shape, just different internals. I know he had to do some work to get them to fit too though.

ron has stock accord lights....well, housing wise. hes got a custom reflector retro and such inside them.

I dont know if anyone reads Superstreet here but there is a Silvia in there with JDM Odyssey headlight conversion but its by a company that made a whole custom bodykit as well that flows so smooth with the lights

more hp of course :slap:

Well dang I would just put a cardboard spoiler on the back and cut a big hole in my hood with a metal cutter for a custom hood scoop.

Anyone else on this forum have glowsticks in the bottom strip of their headlights? I heard they look much better than CCFL tubes... :lawl:
