[rchan817]

Does anyone know where to get the hood bumper etc. other then the dealership cause its just costs way to damn much. Is there a company out there that makes oem replicas or something ?

I hear these guys make a good one, and when they don't quite size up, the competition does.

you can try the sale section in this forum though you will have to Watch them pretty hardcore. If you need any information on how to do the conversion they have good writeups on the DIY section at 240sxforums.org.

then it might be time for you to search for used parts or get a good connection.

i think so too

Seriously man, from my PERSONAL experience, it was better to get some stuff from the dealer.

It was just too hard to find used ones or otherwise.

I got hood, corner lights, and one fender brand new from dealer.
The rest I found used, but it took quite a while.

Find another hobby then. Cars cost money, you can't just expect shit to fall out of the sky for free.

The prices I listed were retail...if you saw the site I posted...it doesn't cost that much. Also if you look at the bare essentials (fender, hood, bumper, headlights, corners and reinforcement)....you can retain a decent budget.

I did that conversion back in 2001 and I got lucky to go straight to a dealership that gave me a 20% discount from list (since I was buying so much). I recommend the dealership based websites like the one I posted.

Just as someone mentioned before....having a car as a hobby is expensive and you get what you paid for.
