Bugeye Conversion
I know someone on here has done it before. I just have a few questions and was hoping someone could point me toward the right way; a shop that would have experience with doing the conversion, if its going to cost a ridiculous amount of money, what it consists of, and what disadvantages there are (running thinner fenders?)

Someone on NASIOC did it. It was some dude with a black STI who converted his front end to JDM headlights and a Zerosports front bumper. If you search around, maybe you can get a hold of the guy. He wrecked his car a while back though. =/

+1. but frankly if you don't have an STi, it would probably be more cost efficient to sell your current suby and buy a bugeye, unless you REALLY need the current interior
