Ok guys, as of now I've put my order on all necessary parts to make the gt-four front end conversion.
So far I've estimated the total cost of the part, including shipping, custom/duties, to around 1600$, in Canada. I'll post pics as it goes, I might change teh color of the car to white, if not, a similar blue that I have.  Car as it sits :

No foglamps for now, I got a pair of universale driving light I might try to put into the sockets. The hood vents should be coming with the hood and bumper on my last order.. Well I got some more pics up. The lowering springs are in :  And I test fitted the spoilers blocks, really happy with it, its looks so bulky and tuff in real life versus photos, so cool   And the room that hosts the parts while waiting for the rest   That's it for today -------------------- -Rémy 02 SiR, 08 250R |

Alright, after 8 freaking hours, I installed my springs myself, despite the attemps I didn't save the rear sway bar links...oh well, its still gonna be cheaper than if I made them installed by someone instead.
Before and after pic  I REALLY love that look with no spoiler and dropped...mmhh.... -------------------- -Rémy 02 SiR, 08 250R |

If you like the spoiler-less look id be willin to buy the raiser blocks off you...that drop looks perfect though.

the end links are always the worst to remove... so far, i've always found ways to remove them.. even on my old rusted 5th gen which took me 2 hours.
anyway, rayme your car's looking good. are you repainting the gt4 parts to match the current color or are you getting a whole paintjob all together? -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

I was able to save the endlinks. Yeah they were rusted but I hammered the inbus right in very hard so it had alot of grip. When order my whiteline swaybar I will order a set of stiffer endlinks too.
