full head light/front end conversion!!

[markmdz89hatch]

hey what do all 'o you'z think about a corrado headlight conversion on a hatch? I think that'd look pretty friggin sweet if you ask me. ...but no, I won't do it to mine, at least not the current one, I was just thinkin about it. ( I like the flips too damn much).

Let me know your thoughts. Anyone wanna photo-chop a snap of what this might look like?

Hey the Euro Type-R accord is sweet... I'm not sure what generation it was but it's in GT-2.

There are like a bazillion corrados floating around since the beginning of 2001.

Just reset the latch height... you can put the bracket on spacers for the upper bolts and extend the middle of the bracket with a slim flat steel bar. That way the hood will close and lock earlier... only trouble is you'll have to fill in the gaps on the side.... the gap in the front will bring in air to cool the engine.

OOOOK, now I officially have no idea how this thread went from where I started to this.. ...it's oK tho, any front end conversion conversation is good for me... ...just one problem...

...I have no clue what the hell you guys are talking about... ...could someone explain it to the idiot.:help:

[Grant2k]

i beleive he means take the headlights from the VW and put them in a 3g. it would look pretty sick.

[Jims 86LXI HB]

Sure like the red one:D but wouldn't touch it on account of it's suspension.;)

[HondaBoy]

oic. i had forgot about that VW. i can remember those back in the 80s and early 90s. those are alrite but i would have to say keep it all honda. people told me to forget about getting a j-spec headlight conversion on my 3gee. i wanted to fixed headlights instead of the pop-ups. but take a good while and think. have u ever seen any other sedans or too many other cars with pop-ups? thats what someone told me to think about cuz u dont see too many cars with em. although if u ever seen a mazda RX-7 wit the pop-ups replaced with a new unit that fits into the existing "hole''.

[tightwhitelx]

anybody know if the headlight replacement for rx-7's would fit for our cars.

[HondaBoy]

i dont think they would but you could modify em. if u have a place in ur town that does custom car stuff, u could have them make head lights like ones that replace the flip-ups on the RX-7s. i would like a projector style type. i think they should make stuff like that for our 3geez. thats shitty of companies that make stuff for other cars, like i have seen clear tails for that crappyest of cars. like a mitsubishi hard body pick up. i cant believe that . i think every body on this board should bug the hell out of companies to make custom apperance parts. just a thought cuz i hope more people will do this by talking to companies.
