[NaderG]

I been looking through posts and stickies and i am still very confused about this. next year i am planning to do a major project on my car in which i will either swap my engine or add a GT4 front end or even both . The Gt4 front end conversion parts are posted in the stickies but still are confusing to me , can somebody that did it before tell me exactly which parts need and a simple guide of what needs to be done ? thanks everybody

It is a pain. You'll need to extend the lip about...4 inches on both sides. To do this you will need a cutting tool ofcourse. Then you will need to see how much you need to add exactly. Materials you'll need to extend this are basically, fiberglass cloth, resin, hardener, brushes, mixing container (styrofoam and plastic cups will melt), sand paper (lots of different grits), sanding block, primer at minimum, then paint if your going to do it yourself, and a drill and drill bits to drill new mounting holes. This is only what is required to EXTEND the lip to reach the wheel wells of the coupe/convertible. You will still need to find a way for it to mount flush, as most body kits/lips are not direct bolt on and still require some modification.
