thanks for the words guys but dang whats up with you guys and the third gen conversion? Although I do like this profile shot



VERTEX 16 ARISTO FACE CONVERSION SYSTEM

Includes:
-HOOD
-FRONT BUMPER
-FRONT FENDERS
-BRACKETS
-WIRING

NEED TO PURCHASE THE FOLLOWING OEM PARTS FROM LEXUS:
-HEAD LIGHTS
-FOG LIGHTS
-ZENKI SIDE BLINKERS
-GRILL

Price: $2,950.00

The price i took from the conversion thread doesnt sound too bad ...but are the hood and fenders metal? I could possibly find headlights for cheap somehwere...

Anyways, like I said before I have stuff coming from japan that probably hasnt even been molded yet since their made to order....you guys think i should do this conversion instead?



Adrian - I was worried about the same thing of being totaled but since its just the skin and no bracing underneath the shop will cut the old roof out and put a new skin in.

Mike - the works are sitting in the garage waiting to go to wheeltech.

Ouch, that looks bad and could've been worse, glad to see you made it out...

I'd go for the 3GS conversion =)

Andy..

If you get the conversion ... your the 2nd one in the states I believe (uber rare) .. but I like it alot but you lose the portion of our cars that has its signature ... the bubble eye Gs ..

We know you will create something awesome .. but I imagine fiberglass .. esp since my Jp fenders are ..

Since you have the vertex look it could only get better !

Be the first one to do the 3GS front end conversion. Your car is the perfect candidate for it.

I love the design of the 2nd gen gs that is why I chose to purchase it. I say stay with the original design and do what you have done before.
