Front end Conversion

Is there a front end conversion to a Lexus IS 300? If not would it be possible to get the parts together and do it anyways?

You could grab one from the wrekers and have it custom fitted.

Not that I'm raggin on you man but why? I can see, in some ways, putting a evo body kit on your car but an IS300? It might have been on these boards that someone posted a pic of a civic hatch back with a mustang body and a civic with a benz front end... they looked like Frankenstein-Mobile.

But maybe you could pull it off. If find a body I hope for the best. Good luck man.

I'd say the lexus and the lancer have some similarities
I wouldn't stick the L on it though and say L is for Lancer
but it should look good and it might just fit

shingen, i totally agree with all those mixing kits for different cars... that take away from the original car... make them look ugly... but in this case vamp has a nice idea.. think about it... is300 front end looks much like the ralliart front bumper for the lancer cedia... and u know how much that is to get overseas... custom work to mold a is300 front to a lancer would be worth it i think... maybe someone out there can do a good photochop! great idea vamp!

With enough money anything is possible. People are putting skyline lights in their integras, front ends from every style of cars on their civics....its really a matter of how much time and money you have, and whether it'd all be worth it.

my roomate has a lexus is300, believe it or not, and we parked them together a few times and there are quite a few similarities but i don't think they could swap fron ends without one of 2 things, a lot of money or a lot of talent in that department. or both. would be nice to see if it is ever done tho. more power to you if you do.

There was a guy on CarDomain somewhere that had done that already! Can't remember where exactly though, but good luck with yours!
