Viva for $1200, I seriously don't see this happening. The shop willing to do this for you must really not know Suby's at all. You need more than just fenders, front bumper and grill. You'll also need a hood, headlights, and misc structual parts to go with it. There is a lot of custom work involved. Are you sure your work is going to cost $1200? or is it $12000?..

guys i bought some killer tape....its gonna hold the whole thing together, no porblem....I cant belive you guys are still trippin on the price...12k is waaaay tooo much and i agree with you all...it WOULD be stupid for someone to invest 12k on a front end.... look man i know the shop owner...i worked there when i was still in high school for a while...ive looked into it people...dnt think i havent...maybe you all should...member im the one who is going to do it...ive been the one really looking it up and talking to shops...What im trying to say it that i know what im getting my self into...instead of people gettng over it..i get comments like..." You need more than just fender, front bumper and grill...YOU ALSO NEED A HOOD AND HEADLIGHTS" like i didnt know that...i was planning on using the stock 04 hahaha...just chill people...ill post pix of the finished product when its all done...maybe another 3 months or so....still waiting on some parts...and gotta save up for those freakin headlights....i just need to be patient...

honestly this is freaking Hilarious! everyone band wagoning saying blah blah, fact still remains its his car and if he can afford to do the swap and wants to that's his choice. but it's up to him to prove he actually did it once it's "finished" since no one seems to believe that he is going to do the swap.

Honestly, the reason you are getting all the responses is because you lied to everyone multiple times, and no one believes you anymore...but no worries. We all look forward to pictures of the finished product. Good luck.
