I guess if you really want to go for it, cut the LS400 in half and leave out the rear seats. Then you'll have a bad *** two door boxy looking sports car.

Seriously, leave it alone. The LS400 looks great in either gen. I'm content to stay with 1LS for now because its non-interference.

Members I've removed some rude commentary from this thread. I suggest you confine any future posts to the subject of the 92-98 conversion and not on the people considering doing it.

If you don't have an interest in doing this, its fine to state your opinion but be considerate to those that do. I will suspend the account of anyone who does not after this warning.

if there were a way to just do the headlights without all the larger ucf20 parts id like it. i do like the headlights of the 98's.
i agree that the entire front end would be too big for a ucf10 in a visual aspect.
of course, if someone wants to front me the parts, i'll install them on my car and do a complete write up. i have the ability and resources to do the swap, just not to buy the parts!
