i would think that it would be at least 3k. for all the parts and then paint.

yeah, April's Z (sorry, forgot your real name :( ) did it on his ride, lots of deal making. Just hit up the ol networking and save some $$$. Sell off your old stuff to keep costs down.

Fenders-averaged about $34 each
Stock hood-about $250
Bumper-$38
Headlights-150

so parts look to be just about $506

Is there anything else i'm missing?

I can take care of the paint work :)

the biggest line-item on your list is going to be paint...so if you can color match the parts you're looking for, that will dramatically cut your total costs

take your time and check ls1tech, ebay, and this site plus junkyards for the parts to match the color and it will be real cheap.

Re: How much would it cost? Front end Conversion

lol didn't think bout the harness. I've already got paint where i had my car painted, I can't color match it unless somebody has used the same exact paint as me with the same amount of metallic. I could find one close but i wouldn't think close enough lol my colors gotta match exactly or it will bug me.

Lol i actually found a better solution just about 20 minutes ago...I found 1999 V6 car im lookin into.

i know theres alot or cars being parted out right now in the for sale section, forgot what their asking prices of stuff were... seemed reasonable though
