Thanks again to you and Marcus for providing some info. I will buy a set and take pics of any issues I come across.

I am about to the purchase the Behrman trunk spoiler. Andy(D-woman) came by yesterday and looking at his Tom's trunk spoiler, it seemed to hang over the tails just a bit too much for my liking.

Do you have any pics of the Behrman spoiler?

Thanks,

Johnny

Hey I know this is an old thread to bring up. I’m doing the conversion right now in 2019. Lol. What did you end up doing with the turn signal not fitting in the headlight. Glue it or buy the newer socket and splice wires??? Please help. Your picture were deleted maybe cuz it was an old thread. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I have 06 head light assembly left and right. From this post it looks like they will not fit a 2002 SC. Is that correct?

thanks

I had my 02 long ago with an 06+ bumper. I used a dremel to take off material for the corner of the headlight. It looks perfectly fine. No one could tell unless I pointed it out. You must really take your time when taking away material. I had the 06+ headlight on hand, off the car to fit it up.

Thanks, I will be on the lookout for an 06+ bumper and grill. Are the other parts inside/behind the bumper interchangeable from an 02 to a 06+?

Did you paint the grill and hood lip black?

Yes, the hood trim and grill are painted.

There should be a very old DIY thread with what you need to swap out the headlights if you search hard enough. You will need to purchase the turn signal connections for the 06+. Pop the old pins and re-insert them in the new connector. If you can find the old thread, you will find where those pins go. I had a JDM headlight which fit with no mods and a USDM headlight where i had to swap the connector FYI.
