GT4 front end make over, complete for now Options

[2bcelica]

Hello all.

Just wanted to share what I have going on. I've been ordering parts here and there, waiting to complete an exterior change. I envy those who have completed the GT4 looks and now its my turn. The projectors cost me $388 for lows and $224 for highs = $612 total including shipping. I also have the bumper, but it was sitting outside in the garage and too lazy to bring it in. If anyone has hood vents or GT4 bumper turn signals and grills to sell - let me know. Also looking for a passenger side skirt - gonna try the junkyard first though. THanks

Also will be taking the car in for a repaint color change to most likely a pearl cream kinda color. I'm expecting to spend about $2500 - $3k on the paint job alone. If any one on here is from DFW TX and knows of a reputable paint body shop let me know too. Thanks

Interior plans are to fiberglass the dash along with most of the interior pieces and create a custom kinda look and replace the seats . Don't like the dark look inside. Looking to get cream colored seats.

Hope to get the car done by the end of September.





semi before pictures -- the car was picked up today and towed off to body shop. here are some extra before pictures.. To save some money - i took off what I can for them and the parts will be reassembled by myself once ready -- i was told 2-3 wks to complete -- in order to save cost I decided to stick with Red -- its gonna be a birghter red though - I'll be on vacation for 2 wks, so hopefully the car will be done when i get back home.

Hey, this is a cool thread!!! I ahve jsut installed a GT4 bumper and bonnet myself!!! But I couldnot get the damn thing on with the original crash bar in front, and the GT4 crash bar would not fit...How did you/are you overcome this problem? Without the GT4 crash bar I cannot seem to mount the GT4 fogs either which is a pain in the ass!!!!

I also forgot to get the brow bar that runs accross the top of the headlights which now leaves a gap between the brow and rubber bit between the bonnet!!!

Any suggestions would be great!!!
