Well I may get a lot of crazy replies to this one but what ev's. I haven 't seen any 7g to 8g front end conversions, except for this one
http://www.autoshow.permaisuri.com/Content...=20050804013405
I was wondering if there are anymore out there that u guys know about or generaly feel about this look.... I know we have 7g's and why would someone want to make it look like an 8g but you know 8g's don't look that bad either.
would be cheaper to buy a 8g and mod it
So iam guessing its not as easy as buying some 8g fenders, 8g lights and front bumper and adding or welding some brackets to support it all?? Aww just a thought thanks for the reply though...
plus the 7G is 10x hotter than 8G https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...lt/biggrin.gif

anything is possible.
but nonetheless. the smooth, contoured and curvy look of the 7g wouldn't match with the chissled angular look of the 8g. you would have to mod the entire car to mke it work. and that would be so very very expensive if you don't want it to look shotty.
Ya i agree just trying to explore some apperance options before I get started.
I am planning on getting that drifter body kit (same as urs peano) and maybe molding the side and adding a little different opjects to make it original. I'am still debating on getting it from ebay or streetconcept.com its abut $100 difference in price. what do you guys think...
that one has a wide body kit on the rear end.. it bulges out more than the 7g does.. but that car does look phat but i would guess they spent A TON of money on it..
dat shit is HAWT!!!... wish had pics under the hood https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...efault/sad.gif
looks like he bought the 8g's rotator splint :laughing:

when your intercooler is as obvious as that, AND the FONT is that BIG. its probably just like steve's intercooler. i.e. not hooked up.
so i bet under the hood its all cobwebs and oil leaks
its funny that he could have just left that intercooler alone and it would enhance the appearance of the car. but he used a giant stencil he made himself to put HKS on it.
one little and very stupid thing like that can ruin a car.
I thing the car is fiya...love the lip on da rear wheels.

damn man you didn't have to go there https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ault/laugh.gif https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ault/laugh.gif man you see that interior??? Black leather.... :shock: ::drools::
I think the car looks awsome! I wouldnt have picked that big ass spoiler but other than that the thing is clean! Nice idea. Oh and Matt is right..7G is better :tongue:
the fenders.... https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...lt/biggrin.gif

LOL - I was reading all the replies and suddenly I thought about this:
What if this is actually an 8g and then they just stick a 7g rear at the back? ha ha ha...
well i know it's a 7g, cause of the window controls in the door. I think the car is sweet, but i also think having the huge FMIC is rice!!! probably the very reason this car hasn't made international periodicals. Gauranteed that person ran out of money in the body work and ICE, to even think about performance, except the cross drilled rotors and brake upgrade.
Now what would be really hot is, if it was a 7g vr4 with all that conversion. it is right hand drive....
btw sleek; that's one hell-of-a lip kit?!?!?!
its silly that he spent (probably) a lot of money on those brakes, but didnt ditch the rear drums
That was some very nice work the car looks good.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(DOHCSTUNR)</div><div class='quotemain'>would be cheaper to nuy a 8g and mod it</div>
hmm never nuy'ed a 8g b4, i wonder what it would be like

there are more pics of the mitsu family (plenty of 7gs and 8gs of course!)

hey ya ive been thinkin bout doin a 8g conversion on my 7g(sponsor given me the money). And lookin at this with some friends the hood actually look like its off like a 93. Looks like the invader hood off of them. But ya we have been lookin at this and actually to switch to a 8g front doesnt look that hard.
1)hood-just remove the nose piece and take out the hood latch. and instead of reinstalling it just use some hood pins.
2)fenders-99 fenders have same bolt pattern as the 95-98 do. Have found many vendors selling fenders for 95-99. And they fit. Tried out a pair on a 99.
3)bumber-should bolt up same as any other kit with just a lil cutting with a dremel if you keep stock lights.
4)lights-this is the only part that looks like it will require work. The hook up looks like it needs cutting like jdm headlights but havent checked fitment.
i dunno these are our assumptions. If anyone has any actual work on doing this or anything drop me a message. Cause when i start this out i would like to now what all im goin to need to cut. Also how much bondo, fiberglass, and bodyfiller i will need

So you said the bolt patern for the 94-98 G is the same as a 99 ? ( interesting pics???)
The lights wouldn't be that difficult to wire up but I dunno how well it would fit under the t-bar, if the fenders fit than the lights should just slide into there corners...
Good luck with this... I duno how well it would look aftrwards but I like the jdm7g/8g in the earlier pics...
