Default Recent front conversions? I've searched

I've read every thread on club lexus that I can find on front end conversions, I was wondering if anyone has done one recently, only 3 companies were named that carried kits, and none of them sell them anymore and anyone who did one hasn't logged in in years. Anyone have any info on any recent ones? I'm looking for UCF10 conversions, I've seem some on Japanese auctions, but I guess they are all custom.

the reason that conversions dont sell is that once you add up all the parts, then factor in labor to make them fit and paint it all, you basically could have bought a 98+.

I understand the cost involved I'm just wondering if anyone has done one recently or there are places that still sell them. While it might seem like one would be able to buy a 98+ I got my UCF10 dirt cheap, and was curious about any current conversions.

Parts are not half as hard as labour will be to pay for .
The usual cost is 10 000 for everything on a conversion kit. Is your ucf10 worth 10 000 to look like a 10 000 dollar car?
