Ive been thinking about doing a front end trade....and the other day i saw the thread with the 04-05 sti with the 08 front end...liked it and here i am...It might be hard but here we go....if anyone is interested in the swap lmk....:peace:

Do you have a picture from this thread? Kind of curious how this looks.

WTF?! Did you trade your sti in? I am so confused what you are doing?!

VivaSuby, you told everyone you traded your sti ain and gota 350z and now you are asking for all these suby parts again....So I am hella confused....because I asked to trade you a bunch of parts and you told me you didn't have the car anymore

sounds like someone got caught in a lie, lol

I want to see the 04/05 with the front end of 08.

prolly didnt get approved for the loan and they traded cars back now he wants a 08 STI front end :rofl:

The 08 model STi are not a direct swap to prior models.

i want to see how the 08 front end looks like on the older models.

and i want to know about the 350z and no more STi thing also haha

Are you friggin KIDding me? That thing looks hideous, I hope noone is that dumb to attempt this.:barf:

looks like a 240 drift car.

I'm willing to attempt that on my 06 wrx sedan. The fenders have to be after market or fabricated because of the way the new 08 sti connects the fender to the A pillar. Also, on a real 08 sti, the side markers show how long the fender is between the wheel and door. It wont be a straight bolt on trade like how we can swap 02-07. It would be real cool if someone in USA can make the kit. I would totally do it.

this post from another site tells a little about what they did its not just a front end swap on this car but it looks bad ass if you have the time and the cash I say go for it

Looks like it's a chop-top with a widebody kit on the rear end.

Crazy.


Edit ^^ I am lame just stated above in the article ^^

why does the whole roof looks like pressed down. the window got smaller.

ttt

almost had it....we were suppose to do this this weekend but it didnt fall through....so still looking

OK. The front ends
DO
NOT
SWAP.

That chopped track car is a completely custom job. Blended fenders and god knows what else to make everything line up. The fenders are different, the door lines are different, the cowl area is different. You cannot swap the parts.

The only way you'd be able to do this is by buying every single '08 front end piece and getting busy with a ton of bodywork. You'd be hacking up your original fenders and hood, too, to make everything line up, if you could even do it; my mind reels at the amount of metalwork and FG involved.

Vivasuby... This thing you want to do is gonna cost you a bit in a body shop.. Say around $10k or more, plus the cost of a complete 08' STI front end, so by the time you're done you're probably looking at around $15 to 20k..

wtf is wrong with the op? is he in his own world? besides the complication of this whole "swap," who in the right mind would want to swap him their 08 front end for a 04?

I would not only be worried with how much work would be involved but also the fact that I wouldn't trust a body shop to do everything correctly. With that big of a job SOMETHING would be messed up.

This isn't a "have a beer and swap 02-07 trunks" kind of job :lol:

The OP is the same guy that was looking for a Blitz Nur Spec for several months, got his hands on one, then decided it was too risky to run and wanted to sell it... then couldn't sell it and is now keeping it.

well whoever he is this plan sounds retarded. im sick of seeing it get bumped in the fs section personally... :o

i thought this thread is back because he decide to sell the suby again.

Ibtl :D

chill out little man....just chill out....im not thinking of doing the chopped top thing at all...im just doing a front end conversion... dont think that i havent looked into it at all....:lol: if the money is there....why not? there isnt any need for you to worry or make it your business...and i have no idea where you guys got 15 to 20k :lol: without buying the front end im looking at no more that $1,200 ....i mean why would i drop all that money in a front end....just mind your bizz and if you dont like the thread dont come on it and post....i personaly thing that its stupid for a person to get annoyed of this thread getting bumped...but then gets on it and post's.....

Ibtl

:spit:

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.

lol.

Modssssssssssss..

i got rid of the 350z...i only have the STi....

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....

^^^^Dude your not telling me anything i dont know already...i have gone to a shop already...i know what im looking at....i did the research...quit trippin already i know that it obviously doesnt fit but its gonna go in the shop and get done the right way...its not that hard...i used to work at a body shop...and no duhh ...i know the color wont match...im planning on painting it...obvious things!!!!

i got rid of the 350z...i only have the STi....

That was quick. Wa happpon? :(

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...

i thought u have 2 cars already?? the Z and STI....now y u saying u return the Z and got ur sti again ??.........arent u the one that wrote this
"Dude chill out homie....i didnt know i had to let you know whats going on in my life..........i have both im a baller!!!!"......?????

longest buy/sell thread ever!

so yo what's the story here??...u traded ur sti for the Z and u trade back ur Z for ur sti again or ...??tell us man

that must have been his OTHER STI, cuz remember he got a dollar raise! now hes ballllllllllin!!

haha, this thread is awesomeeee!! you should swap your STi front end onto your 350z!!

Finally....

:crazy: :hang: :pointlaugh:

what's that disorder called, the one where u have multiple personalities?







is it dissociative identity disorder?

haha, this thread is awesomeeee!! you should swap your STi front end onto your 350z!!

HAHAAA!!!

Posting.

hahaha the Z would look nice with a little touch of Subaru hahaha.....nah i dont have the Z only reason i said i had them both was because everyone kept trippin...i was being sarcastic....i only have the STi! and this thread should be done with...i just got my front end yesterday.....thanks everyone..all i need are the head lights...pretty ****en pricey but will order them on tuesday...

your actually goin to go ahead with it?

got both fenders...and front bumper/grill... latez will post pics when this is done...it wont be untill a couple of more weeks cause im gonna get a little beeter so i can drop this STi at the shop...need something to get to work..

im not chopping windows....roof ....nothing like that...just the front end...

hmmm, this should be intersting.

I'm interested to see what they are going to do.

There are a lot of shops around here that do the entire silvia front end conversions, front clips, rhd, etc. So he may have found a shop confident enough to do it at a cheap price. It's gonna take a whole lot of molding and bondo though. Good luck!

tanx SubyNOOby...always been a kool guy...

haha, this thread is awesomeeee!! you should swap your STi front end onto your 350z!!

LOL, but he returned the 350z already, great thread btw, not as popular as the Motivational Posters one but close enough.

what a waste of money just buy a 08 STI if u love the front end so much!

hahaha love my thread too! i cant belive it got this much attention

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?..

1200..thats really impossible.....5000 is maybe ....12000 better

why would u want to put all the time and money into a 08 STI front end? to try to be unique?

maybe their just going to ziptie and bondo it onto the car

Then why did you start a thread saying you traded your STi for a Z?

I was thinkin the same thing. you aint gotta lie to kick it! If what your saying is true and your really goin to go ahead with it, I agree with Ballz. $1200 seems WAY too low of an estimated price.

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...

dude because i did....ask bluej20...i took the car to his house when i first lowered it...me and STiRS put the Apex exhaust on it...but it gave me issues..and i took it back ...got my sti and yeah ...here i am....enought of the 350z...I HAVE A STI! thats why im doing this front end swap...its not going in the Z....plus whats this gotta do with the front end swap...?

............i dunno..........maybe..........because i can afford it.........oh and because the car is mine and my plans with the car are that....i dunno pick one of those answers....i dont wanna see that question again...:peace:

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.

funny thread. this should be moved to the proper subforum.

............i dunno..........maybe..........because i can afford it.........oh and because the car is mine and my plans with the car are that....i dunno pick one of those answers....i dont wanna see that question again...:peace:

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.

i didnt lie.....i just didnt tell you what went down after i got rid of the STi......didnt see why i had to tell you....who are you again? are you feeling a little left out football dude...? a little like this..:pointlaugh: ...? it seem like it..?

dude this thread should be done with....how do you close this ****....?

I'm tired of this, and it doesn't belong in Classifieds. Feel free to continue this discussion elsewhere.

Pics of the car when it's done.

I can't believe nobody caught his statement of "I bought some killer tape, it'll hold it together just fine"

tape... TAPE?!??!!?!

Who uses freaking TAPE to hold together their car that's NOT in Nascar and then only after a wreck of some sort?

Dude, you're caught

^^^^its real good tape.....hahaha

the front end is not going to be matching the back end but what ever floats your boat. just take a picture and put it on your wall.... much cheaper and you wont be doing any harm to the 04 which most people will kill for

the front end i mean......... this is what i think of the 08 :barf:

yeah got some of that magical tape (military 100 mph tape) its super sweet!

f*** it man. do it. its hilarious to see people hating. not everyone in the world is all about buying something out of the box. Hybrid always makes sick twists and mods with multiple types of cars.

i like the original look of it (at least in the us). plus i don't like the look of the 08 back ends.

good luck.

dude this thread should be done with....how do you close this ****....?

IT WILL NEVER END HHHHAHAAAHAHAHHHAHHA:lol:

+1 for not having to tell total strangers wat goes on in your personal life
-1 for all the d-bags who liked to post repeated stuff...if you guys honestly think he didn't consider repainting it AFTER it was done then you should sell your Subie cuz your F*CKING stupid and don't deserve it....
+1 for havin the balls to do it Viva, it'll look hella sick and be way unique, i sense multiple awards at some car shows

P.S. even if you do like the front ends of the '08s and want the front end does not mean you will want the rest of the car, i personally don't like the back ends but think Subaru did a great job on the front half of the car
