Could You Put The 97-99 Headlights/front Bumber On

[SquackDiddy]

just wondering

[1ViciousGSX]

yes

[SquackDiddy]

how much you think the stock headlights costs?
how much you think the stock front bumber costs?
(97-99)

I did this on my talon. I bought an OEM Poly. front bumper from a seller on ebay new for $190 dollars shipped. You can buy OEM 97+ headlights, but it's to your advantage to just purchase after market lights. I got a nice set of APC dual projectors for 200 shipped. They use the stock bulbs, not the crappy H3 fog light bulbs that many other projectors use.

Everything bolts right up... you shouldn't have any problems.

where do you think i can purchase this stuff? ebay? and jimwross did you get the stock 97+ fog lights? and where can you get those? the mitsu dealer? could i get everything from a mitsu dealer?

I've got a 98 GSX front bumper for sale, I've just got to clean it up a bit. Email me offlist if interested. sghenterprises@comcast.net

That is an auction from the same seller I bought from. I highly reccomend him; from payment to recieving it was ~3 days.

You'll need the foglight bezels (little plastic holder things) from the mistu dealer. I think the total is like $11.

I didn't buy the actual fog lights from the dealer I used:

They are exact replicas of the Piaa 1100x PLATINUM SERIES. As you might know the PIAA 1100x fits the stock holes perfectly.

That is an auction from the same seller that I bought the dual projectors from; he's an ok seller, kind of a jerk but I got the product.



If you have any questions let me know.

do the headlights come with bright white bulbs, like the fog lights?
where could you get stuff painted in MN?

[Iceman]

Matters what kind of stuff you need painted. Everything Jim posted up is all you would need to get the lights working and everything by the looks of it.

[SquackDiddy]

i think i would like to paint that front bumper if i buy it, and maybe repaint my whole car. i could do all the other stuff (installing, electrical, etc)

Painting the whole car is not cheap. You could just get the front clip painted (thats what i would do). It might not look perfect but its better than the ricer body filler color.

yeah i think im just goin to paint that piece. so where could i get it done?

A... I'm not sure but if you can't find a place i could do it for a small fee and paint it at skool for you.

[SquackDiddy]

yeah ill hit you if i get it, aite?
gotta get a dsm first

I'm not quite sure what piece you are talking about; the fog light bezel or the entire front. Either way, if your going to just paint the front or anything, just take it to a Maaco. You can get the entire car painted for 700; and its good quality; atleast was for me, just make sur eyour particular one does good work before you take it there.

[SquackDiddy]

when you say entire car , do they strip every thing and paint it? or is it just the out side of the car? they put shiny gloss pain or what ever on it too right?

[SquackDiddy]

this 97+ headlights/frontbumper swap works on all 2g dsms right?

they put shiny gloss pain or what ever on it too right?

If by the you mean clear cote....im sure they do, its pretty standard.

[A//// Guy]

HA Maaco, quality. Thats funny.

You get what you pay for. There is really no prep, for 700 bucks you just get a new color sprayed on your old color.

They used clear coat on mine, they sanded and prepped... I dont know I mean i've heard horror stories about maaco but heres what you have to remember. Every macco is a franchise... so every shop can be different in how they deal with you; go in talk to them, look at examples of what they've done just like any other shop. The only thing most maacos have in common is that htey are uniformially cheap. I dont know, when I took mine, I couldn't justify paying 1500-2500 on a 95 talon... seems dumb to me. Anyway, it turned out great; I know other people have had lots of success with them as well.

If you'd like some photo examples let me know.
