OT: Advice on JDM front end

[228GSR]

I had initially planned on taking some money and putting towards some work on the engine. I had planned on changing to a smaller pulley for higher boost, larger injectors, and Cartech FMU. I know this would make my car faster but I'm willing to hold off until later down the road. I know my car isn't balls out fast but it's alright for now. Instead I've decided to go with the Japanese Front End conversion. I was wondering what parts I could sell to make some money to put towards this conversion. I've got plenty of stock parts for sale. And if I do this conversion, I could probably sell the front end, fenders and hood. I was just wondering what my fellow boosted friends thought about this???

Well price isn't really an option. I've done some research on it. The kit goes for about $2850 non-HID. I can do without the HID headlights for now. I'm not really worried about install or labor b/c I've got a buddy who owns a Auto repair shop that gives me great prices. I got my entire WW bodykit and GTR wing, painted and installed for $150.

Do it if u like it. JDM looks good. Then u can put an aftermarket HID kit for an extra 400 bucks.

Just so you know about how much the whole shibang will cost.. it will be about 4000 with labor, paint and all the parts.. 5,000 with OEM HID's.

Lot o cash.. but it certainly does look good

I could get it at least a few hundred cheaper here on the west coast, but then I'd have to have it shipped, if think it might be worth it, give me an email.
