Has anyone seen this done before?

Let me know what you think!

Dakmis 04-05-2005 11:09 PM

interesting, lets see a side shot

j9fd3s 04-05-2005 11:13 PM

i'm a little confused, but it doesnt look bad?

Racer X 04-05-2005 11:17 PM

Do the headlights fit that front?Interesting swap.Not bad,still better than the pointed front the car has stock.

GreyGT-C 04-05-2005 11:27 PM

need a side shot... but i think i like it!

BlownSE 04-05-2005 11:31 PM

not bad!!! but u have to do something to the rear bumper too https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

R.P.M. 04-05-2005 11:34 PM

Those are S4 front fenders and a S4 nose cone, the FC is actually 3in wider than the FB so the nose sort of bubbles out. The fenders don't fit perfect, but the are very close. The FB headlights and hood don't quite fit, so I'm getting a custom headlight kit made up and carbon fibre hood to fit.

That's a very interesting idea, keep thinking up more ideas like that (that work) for us to ogle!

Shane.Trammell 04-06-2005 11:19 AM

let me be the first to say i think its ugly. what are you gonna do abou the fender going further down than the rocker?

89 Rag 04-06-2005 12:02 PM

yeah, it does look a little strange

rowtareh 04-06-2005 12:33 PM

agreed with 89 and shane. i don't like it. it takes away what a 1st gen was by slapping on a couple of parts from an FC. wanna do something cooler, put FD body panels on

treceb 04-06-2005 01:05 PM

i think the front looks too bulky compared to the rest of the car. youd at least have to adapt the rear fenders also and possibly rear bumper...





ive seen worse stuff done to FBs......

R.P.M. 04-06-2005 08:14 PM

yes the Fc quarters hang down a bit, but I was either thinking of using that to make some side skirts or maybe roll the bottem to match the rest.

i think you want to cut the fenders and paste em together so that the new fender starts as fc and ends fb

R.P.M. 04-07-2005 07:22 PM

I was also thinking that, using the FB bottems and weld them onto the rest of the FC fenders...we'll see.

defprun 04-08-2005 10:02 PM

To paste them together, i suggest, Elmer's carpenter's glue.

R.P.M. 04-10-2005 11:45 AM

Good idea Dave!! But I think I'll try the Miller welder approach!!

RE_TurboFB 01-08-2006 01:38 AM

I like it so far.... i love front end convertions on the FB... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

sweet7 01-08-2006 04:15 PM

Carbon fiber hood for a FB?!?! I'v seen one once on ebay, but never again

You know where to get carbon fiber hood for a FB,....Where??....How much??....

Man if you get custom head lights and a CF hood that FB will look sweet!!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



Humm... I would like to see if anyone could fit FD bodyparts on a FB...

rootbeerdragon 01-17-2006 03:57 PM

do hydro graphics man, make it look carbon fiber!

R.P.M. 01-20-2006 05:35 PM

Holy!



I forgot all about these pics LOL.

Bridged 01-20-2006 10:27 PM

Dont like it id rather the fb frount any day i dont like the fc's

flight_of_pain 01-29-2006 01:33 AM

the crease in the length of the FC fenders is what makes it look wierd i think, if you were to smooth that into a gradual curve from top to bottom it would be way smoother.

It doesnt look too bad. I'm a weird one though and don't really like any body kits or any body mods done to the 1st gens.
