if anyone is interested in this let me know i still want to get more info in what is involved but i would like the clip i trade for to at least have 1 of these three upgrades: sti grill, jdm projectors, or sti v1 lip

let me know if you are interested in doing this in the future.

 

You want to take the front clip from an 02/03 bug eye and trade it with your 05? As long as the 02/03 has one of the things listed?

 

That is correct

 

i was interested in changing over my front end w/ a newer one, but w/ the repainting and other things involved i figure its more trouble than what its worth.

 

why did you have to repaint? what other things involved? -lining stuff up?

 

you can't do it easily, there are parts that are welded onto the frame

 

If I were you,I would just sale my car and get an 02/03. Way less hedache. Just my $0.2

 

I could see how that would be easier if my car was stock, which it isn't, and if in didn't want to keep my heated seats, heater wipers and my sunroof and my nice 05 interior... I just like the 02 front not really anything else.

 

i would be willing to trade rears too...

 

they are the same?

 

so ur telling me that the 04/05 rear bumper cover and taillights are the same as an 02/03??? new one on me

 

I was thinking the trunk

BUt for the front end, cutting/welding is required

They aren't swapable like hondas

 

ve never touched a honda in my life... i can cut and weld as i have a plama cutter, torches, and a welder i would just need instruction as to where to cut and what to weld together.
