    Finally did the conversion the other day. I have been piecing it together, cuttin shit up, and painting parts for a good 2 months now. Special thanks to mclovin for getting me the last piece needed, and RAD for having me go back to get a part I didn't know I needed! Also theretrofitsource has some good guys working over there too.

    Looks nice.

    What was the total cost in parts for doing that? I ask becase a friend of a friend wants to do the same to his '09.

    Luckily I found a guy parting a silver one out in great shape; got the hood, headlights, support bracket, and grill for only $150. Then mclovin hooked it up with the bumper assembly for another $150. Plus a little extra to color match some parts.

    And thanks again mclovin!
