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

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......

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

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

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

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.
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!!!!



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