1G with a 2G nose?

[drew214]

I came across this picture of a 1G with a 2g nose, does anybody have any info on this? I'm sure it's not a straight forward swap but have any of you did this? Any info would be helpful. Thanks

i havn't seen that pic before, but there is someone at DSMtalk.com that is doing a 1g with 2g front end and 3g rear end, looks pretty sweet

Ceniack I took a look over there but found nothing do you happened to have his posting name? Thanks alot!

For the amount of work that would require...I don't think it looks good enough.

are there any more pics of the car?

yeah other than being able to say you have it, it's not that great. i want a 92 with the 90-91 bmx style front bumper and make a custom mesh grill insert between the headlights to match.

ive thought alot about this and i think it wouldnt go to well with our rear ends

I think that looks better than any 1g bodykit ive seen. If you had a shop do that, anyone have a rough price estimate?

 

[rubbersidedown]

i wonder what it would look like if you fit the rear end on it too? the front end looks a lot better than i thought.

There is a white 1g in the photogallery on this site with a 2g front, 3g rear.

1g's are very boxy and the 2g's are very rounded...i think mixing the two would clash horribly.

Someone find that white one in the gallery, it actually doesnt look too bad.

I'm actually thinking about trying to convert my front end to a 2g front end. I saw a 1g eclipse downtown in a parking lot, and I had to drive around it three times just to make sure that it was a 1g!!! The thing looked awesome..

 

[zaebst]

can somebody post some pics of the 1g with the 2g front and 3g rear?

Ask and ye shall recieve... it was a lift front car, so the front doghouse looks to be all glass. it doesn't count, but the back.... well see for yourself........

 

[zaebst]

oooh..... any pics of the front or anything?

I went through the gallery page by page until I finally found it.

Here is a link to his gallery: http://www.dsmtuners.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=332&thumb=1

I wish it was a different color tho, the white is blinding all the pics.

damn... i don't know which would be harder, making the whole clip, or customizing everything on. either way that car is awesome. i'd love to see it finished

that silver 92-94 Eclipse with the 97-99 bumper looks so awsm and clean, im sure it will be easy to swap over, the mouting holes are about all the same, just trimmin the inside and re-locating some holes wont be hard at all, im going to look for a 97-99 bumper and try it my self

i looked at it and it look spretty good. i like the back bumperof the 3g but i don't like the doors. so that is a cool little conversion

I think it is finished in those pics. There is comments in his gallery about seeing the car as some show. I want to see better pics tho, and with it together.
