I have never heard of anyone going from something and converting TO bugeyes! :huh:


In stock form, its the worst idea ever. However, the bugeyes can be made to look really nice with the JDM headlights, lowered, and different grill.

you can do most of the work yourself. joust sorce out all the parts you need in the color you have. strip it down pay a shop to weld in the front brace then do the rest yourself.

That was what I was planning to do, but the labor involved with welding and constant install and removal of parts to make sure they fit was expensive




I might as well buy a 2.5rs

truthfully, i think u should just sell your blobby and buy a bugeye. It will be easier to sell in the future and you will have less headaches along the way.

but if you really love working on cars and don't plan to sell your car for a long time, then do the conversion.
