I think you said you had like 2500 dollars burning a hole in your pocket. It would probably take up about 1-2K if not all. Sorry if my estimation is wrong, too. I am not experienced with bodyshops. Ray, 0Re0, I think y'all are pretty familiar with shops. Any thoughts?

I think it might run close to $4000 for such a conversion...

I'm not sure how much each headlight assembly costs, but I'm going to guess that they are roughly around $700 a piece. Now this doesn't include the harness (which I'm pretty sure is necessary). Customization will be needed to the hood, fender, and the bumper. Most people that do the Supra headlight conversion just end up using the Supra bumper or cut off the top portion of the bumper and some how mold it to their factory bumper...

So considering parts will run about $2000 and labor to be around $1500 to $2000, yes, this can be pretty expensive...

Personally, I wouldn't recommend this conversion since:

1. These wildstyle conversions are played out (IMHO).
2. You can get projectors for a fraction of the cost of this conversion.

I never have because I think it would be visually unappealing... and it wouldn't do much at all...

Plus rain can pour straight into your intakes so its more a track thing methinks. Has anyone actually seen a headlight conversion they thought looked good? Out of all the ones I've seen the only one that almost looked good was that 5th gen orange one. I would only ever consider it if it was done on an AWD celica otherwise It seems a bit lame. Imagine pullin up next to a supra at some lights and getting owned by it.

As for the Integra with the S15 front headlight conversion...Integra/Silvia Conversion. I remember that from when it came out in Import Tuner. A really nice ride.
