Well like i said, I cant give up my ES, i grew up with it. But I understand ur point and i like GS's too. but im not selling my ES, im gonna go with the project. I went to HIN shows and i dint see any Camrys or ES's that were unique. and i still dont see very unique ES's still.

i can see your point but hey its ur money, but i cant afford the lavish expense of throwing away my money. but id say the conversion will run up to about 5-10k on the body work itself because itll look like a lot of molding.

I have a cousin who has connections with some friends in San Fran and San Jose who specialize in conversions, he can get me some good deals. He's already saved about $3k working on his 11 sec. DC5. So that's a load off on the money part.

Cool

All I can say is break out te stepped drillbit, angle grinder, welder, torch, rubber mallet, metal roller. Remember my personal motto,
