Bumper, Fender (x2), Bonnet, Headlights, Foglights, Grill, Covers, Lip, Paint - $3-5k depending on where you source parts from, then you want to do the rear end as well as they are different too. You can make some money back selling your parts, if anyone is chasing them.

Waste of money IMO, bug eye's can look just as good

Alot. Bonnet, gaurds, bumper, lights, grill, liners, scoop, paint. Not worth it.

I already have bug sti, so already got the hid's anyway, I am happy with the way it looks, but like the peanut aswell and a change would be nice. Seems like alot more hassle than its worth then

If either of you do this I may be keen on buying your standard gaurds, liners and bumper!

I'm actually looking for a pair that have the black surround, as mine are the silver surround kind, so if anyone would like to trade I would be keen. In perfect condition also
