- Wed Mar 02, 2011 2:27 am #241730 in addition to sheet metal, the core/radiator support might need to be switched too I would think.

I've seen it on coupes and it looks decent when done right but the nose looks long on the shorter body of the hatchback IMO.


If you attempt, I'd like to see the progress and results.

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

- Thu Mar 03, 2011 4:02 am #241924 this is not a project for the faint hearted to be honest man serious work needed here your talking about the whole front end thats every panel and structural parts too i see my freind try it with just the panels but as he found out you need to do structural work to the front to extend it and also it really doesnt look that nice on hatch but then again its your choice

EG hatch = wet dreams

- Thu Mar 03, 2011 11:40 pm #242095 I think that looks better on the hatch, but that doesnt mean that I like it. Ha I think it would be one of those things that would look 100% different in person. Good luck though!
