can I be a 7th gen too?

ok the topic is smartass, but i do have a valid question....

how difficult do ya'll think it would be to convert my 98 hatch frontend to a 2k1+???

obviously the sheetmetal wouldn't line up perfectly, but how hard would it be?

what gave me the idea was i was thinking about how craig said that his blitz kit came off a 6th gen, and all he had to do was a little cutting....

It probably would be alot of modification......Craigs blitz front was easy cause its fiberglass, and it holds tight by like 6 screws...

RedDragon333 will become famous soon enough

thats a chop and it looks really off. The 6thgen hatch into a 2k1 wouldnt be hard but it wont be cheap. Your gonna need the fenders, heads, bumper and some custom fab. Most of those items can be bought in CF and FG which is easy to modify. The fenders and the bumper can be bought and a set of OE heads can be found on ebay for cheap. The hardest part is finding someone experienced enough to pull it off.

ok guys, i have been looking, and it seems that there is no way to make the 7th gen fenders work on my 6th gen, so how about this,

do you guys think i could put a 7th gen front bumper, headlights, and hood on...i think this route would be a little less chopping and bondo...
