Ah im not sayin it wouldn't look straight. Like I said, I love matte colors. Just sayin goldies got history, haha.

[.saint]

been pondering the 96-98 sir conversion as well. front conversion and the rear bumpers. paired with the 96-98 spec first molding lip of course. sir headlamps and considered a jun upper grill (if not then im going ctr)

wondering how that would flow with the matte black. im thinking pretty damn good probably even paint the moldings to match the matte paint on the car.

[tenchu]

Hahahaha I think you'd be the first person to go FROM 99-00 to 96-98 w/o getting in a wreck... I bet you could do a straight trade + cash on their side easy.

I've told John that I would make that trade.

I have the 96-98 front end in good condition with and authentic CTR grill, SiR headlights, Mugen lip, hood and fenders in great condition.

I don't care if I'm in St. Louis, I can make a trip if needed. lol

[.saint]

i would want the SIR bumpers if i was going for the trade.

more then likely ill just sell what i have and pick up new from *gulp* password jdm.

[99blackhatch]

No... anything but THAT place!

lol

[.saint]

yeah i cant really stand that place, but they sell a package deal. i have yet to find another 'package' (at least the front & rear bumpers, headlamps, fenders, side markers, city lamp/side marker wiring & the front and rear moldings moldings) all BNIB. only suck factor is the fenders are not legit OE (OE fenders cut by password, so they consider them non-OE)

Well if that is what you fell you need to do, then go for it.

storm went through yesterday and last night, dropped well over 20 inches of snow. my car is sitting there somewhere.

Nah. You don't want black w/ SiR parts.

I wouldn't change the exterior styling of your car. Maybe color match the lip/bumper or whatever, but the style works. Get that engine bay done first and foremost.
