Anyone know if anyone in the US currently makes or stocks lip kits for the Reno? I'm not interested in anything that's still on the drawing board.

Yeah someones making a custom peice. I know, it sucks it so expensive...I could look around some more but from talking to the first guy I dont think I could find much of a better price. It's not hard to remove the housing, I've done it about 10 times so far.

The conversion isn't even done yet on my car, of course I'd finish mine before doing any others. I'm not 100% sure it'll work...but now that I found a missing link I'm fairly sure it will.

I have all the peices except a reno front bumper, I dont plan on getting one unless I can find one locally. Problem is my slave cylinder for my transmission broke again and the tranny has to be pulled for that so I was gonna put an F28 in but I dont have the time or research to put it in right now so I'm talking to a few local wreckers about another U20SED and D20 so I can through the transmission in untill I rig up the F28 and I'm going to build the spare engine for the turbo.

Cost might be more like around $1,200...its really hard to find hoods/front bumpers and I think the best bet would be for me to find them wherever the customer lives for those two peices. Still it's not easy to find either of those parts.

Hey kinky,
Do you have any pics of this front end conversion from your car. I would like to see how it looks and all because I think it's a sweet idea.

the front end reno conversion would look sweet on a forenza.

Hey Danny I have an 04 & want the 06 style front end how hard would it be to convert from the tri-grill to the new grill? I figure you might know since you've done lots of work on yours.

I actually don't know since I haven't even looked at an 06.

I'd just park by the dealer and take a look at one by yours and see the differences. It could just be the grill, or could be the grill, bumper, and hood.

What did you do with your forenza front end?
I want a set of the stock fog lights, if I dont buy the body kit from evofusion usa.

I have some of it, but I'm going to see if the forenza fogs fit the reno...they're different part numbers but I'd think theyd fit
