2nd gen bumper on a first gen....Hmmm...I think I've seen something like that in one of my JDM mags. I wasn't really feeling it either.

Anyhow, if you choose to do it, best of luck to you

No offense, but that is not a good idea. I don't want to get personal, but why would you want to do that? It's okay to fix up your 1st Gen GS, but to modify it to look like the 2nd Gen front is not my cup of tea either. I can pretty sure majority of members here will say the same thing. I'm not going to say which Gen of GS look better because each have their own opinion, please to not mix them up. Secondly, please keep the design of the 1st Gen GS the way it is. I think Italdesign Giugiaro will thank for doing this.

Yeah. if you want a second gen, just get a second gen.
They each look awesome, but they're different. I believe mixing will bring out the worst in the designs.

Since the shapes of the 2 cars are totally different (and the old car is alot longer than the new), I'm going to say no.

the looks have to do directly with the fitment in my opinion. Sorry I didn't make it clear, but D2 said what I was thinking lol.

If you want to do it because you like it, then go for it. Anything can be done for enough $crilla. Ive seen a 1st with a whole 2nd nose.
me= just barfed in my mouth.

If you did it cleanly I think it's be hot. I am in love with the 2nd gen front end and 1st gen rear end. Im not sure how they'd look together though.
