I dont think you understand what they are saying though.

!YOU CAN'T SWAP FRONT ENDS WITH ANYONE!

You would literally have to do body work to make an 08 front end fit on your car and with the parts that you now HAVE to buy because NO ONE can swap with you your cost goes up dramatically.

You know I've never seen pics of your Z and your STi together. You should post them up. They are both sexy rides.

how old are you viva?

Just so you know a few things.

1. The front ends DON'T SWAP.
2. The colors ARE DIFFERENT.
3. WHO THE HELL WOULD RIP THE FRONT END OF AN 08 AND SWAP FOR ANYTHING GD?????????
4. It will COST YOU MONEY because it would ALL BE CUSTOM for BOTH cars.
5. And the ****tiest shop couldn't do this job WITH the whole 08 Front End AND your car for $1,200....

well....the tranny started to give me problems after a week or so....took it to nissan to get it checked out and found out that the tranny was no good anymore, it had the wrong tranny fluids. I wasnt worried at first cause the car was still under warranty, but Nissan voided my warranty because of the previous owner ****ing it up... So that left me with a car that had a ****ed up tranny and my only other option was to buy the warranty(2k) wich would have been stupid...so i took the car back to the dearlership and got my STi back..it had been a while since i had driven it and had gotten used to the
350z's power...but once i drove the sti again...and punched it ..it reminded me why i liked this car so much to begin with...so i threw all my parts back one and here i am....trying to **** with it again...
