I've always loved the 04 05 front end. I recently got in an accident which made a lot of sense to do a front end conversion while im at it.

Now its time to wait for my 04 05 radiator support, 06 Fan shrouds, hoses, ac/alt. belts that i ordered from Subaru; as well as 04 fenders, bumper and CF hood from a buddy.

I got the headlights from him today and rewiring that mess was a PITA! Well, It actually wasn't too bad but it was because i didnt have a small enough tool to take the pins out of the harness. Nonetheless. I got it done. Tested and all works well! For anyone doing this conversion as well, this helped me rewiring the headlights a lot.

Oh! not to mention i did get my Mishimoto Radiator

Be careful tightening the a/c tensioner pully btw. It's very easy to overtighten this.
