    You would have to do a lot of cutting and welding, and then the finishing work. Oh yeah, and the cars are different sizes so it wouldn't be very proportionate.

    You could get try to find a front clip from a euro 3g if you want to get rid of the pop-ups. Look at Foobari's car. There's some other European members on the board with that style of 3rd gen. Gonna cost some bucks though.
