G1 body style change?

If you have to change the body style of your G1, what will be the best style change the will go with the G1?

try and fit the NSX front bumper to it... I don't know the width differences but I'd say with a drill and a tap, some cutting, and some fiberglass to put it all back together at the right size, you can make it work. and it would make it more like the LegeNd-SX if you pulled it off.

This will be impssible NSX front end is too small no high enogh, on wide enogh is just mission imposible but if i wanted it to look like NSX is will look really ugly even with a custom fiber glass kit is just does not go with G1 style...

thats the coupe, the coupe looked great...the sedan can look dated some times (depends on car to car basis).

Leave it alone, I like how the sedan looks. If you want to make it looks smooth, you can shave off those moldings on the side of the doors.

Yeah I'm more a fan of stock looking vehicles but if you just wanted something different I just thought the bumper would match the motor and turn a couple heads? But you're right some of the heads that turned would probably be kind of like

The only reason that i wanted to maybe change the style since i will required a custom hood after finishing fitting the NSX engine in to the G1, i am worry about the look of the G1...

l4zy415 · 07-19-08, 10:45 PM

Well, I guess you can make a custom bumper like chopped89legend did. Well the original bumper go on right or is the motor in the way?

car2n · 07-20-08, 12:05 AM

well original bumper will go on ok and motor is not in the way, radiator still fits (no fan)... but like i said i don't know what a rised high scooped custom hood will do to the look of the G1?

LSATYD · 07-20-08, 12:50 AM
