Headlight question

I was browsing the other day about popular car conversions just for some light reading at work. Came across something interesting that wasn't something I considered popular, at least not to my knowledge. Silvia Heads on a 2gB. Um anyone know what is entailed in such a conversion? cuz it didn't look half bad.

A lot of fabrication, not to mention those lights are crazy expensive, I did a lot of research on this when I had my 2g and opted not too because it was going to cost wayyyyyy too much, the headlights alone were $800.

another question, why in the world do people do the Supra tail light conversion? really? I mean it don't look bad but that is probably some serious work to get done.

Fenders, bumper, and custom harness is about the minimum you would need. Ive seen people with this conversion and i will admit it looks sweet. Only downfall is the actual headlights are crazy expensive.

mainly paint work and a lot of money for the kit. there's an actual supra light kit that has all the parts you need. dont ask me where or how much cause i dont know. i was browsing a while back and came across one.

I´ve found a pic of a 2g with Silvia headlights. I looked great, but it think there´s lots of work to do.

Yeah i've seen the Kit out also for our 2g's. Personally i think the 2gb's are incredibly intimidating looking stock, no need for conversions. If you want a Supra go buy a toyota lol
