Gt-four front end conversion, what has to be done, and the Price? Options

[amdcyrus]

Just wondering what has to be done and the price for this conversion. I've read the sticky on jdm gt-four hood and bumper but do you have to actually buy all the accessories as well? If so is there a cheaper alternative. Im looking to spend like $1200 for this.

I know your right and i should search the forums i learned a bit. I just wanna make sure of one thing. Does the st202 hood fit on a 99gt hatchback, with a c-5 american bumper without a gap.

Does the st202 hood fit on a 99gt hatchback, with a c-5 american bumper without a gap.

As far as I know, the Extreme Dimensions C-5 bumper and hood are a clone of the C-One bumper and hood. I was under the impression that Extreme Dimensions only made the GT-Four style version of the C-One bumper.

Now, you can mix and match between the GT-Four bumper/hood and the C-One GT-Four style bumper and hood. So I would expect that the GT-Four hood would fit on a 6gc with the C-5 bumper.

However, you referred to the ST202. The ST202 is the model code for the 6gc GT and ST. ST205 is the model code for the 6gc GT-Four.

If you meant ST205, that is fine. However, if you really did mean ST202 then mixing and matching between the GT/ST (ST202) bumper/hood and the GT-Four (ST205) bumper/hood will leave a gap. With a GT-Four hood and a GT/ST bumper, you get a narrow gap that looks a bit like an air scoop. Some people like the look, others think it looks like a kludge:



With an ST/GT hood and a GT-Four/C-5 bumper, you'll have a ridge in the bumper that won't line up with the hood.

In summary, I would expect the GT-Four hood to fit on a 6gc hatchback, with a c-5 american bumper without a gap. You will need to dig out the GT-Four bumper thread to learn about other parts you'll need. You'll need the GT-Four rubber bumper seal and metal retainer bar at the very minimum (plus some long bolts and some washers). As you said yourself, this is similar to Tufy's setup (he has a GT-Four and the C-One bumper).
