Hey guys! It's me again, so I've been thinking about doing some front bumper conversions on my '95 LS400, my neighbor has a sick VIP '97 Infiniti q45, and I've noticed a lot of similarity in the body style. I love the stock front bumper it comes with (which he has) and I've noticed that Elvis of StanceNation did a similar conversion, so it must be possible. I love the look and it's aggressive as hell. Any thoughts or suggestions? Anyone have done something like this before?

bodywork is limited to the skill of the craftsman, as with anything really. anything is possible but don't expect a simple bolt on affair with anything. even a 98 bumper onto your 95 will require some type of bodywork to make it flow.

Well I know it's not going to be a simple walk in the park, everything nice comes with a price, am I right? Haha, but I'm just curious as to what I'm getting into.

bumper shapes will differ at the edges so everything will have to be molded to fit. there is something called plastic welding but it has to be done right to be sturdy. you will have to see how the bumper lines up. you will most likely have to cut upyour stock bumper and frankenstein it onto the new bumper shape.

for example, here is an sc430 with a mercedes bumper being molded in...

Yeah I figured that much, I was staring at my car and SN Elvis' car with the bumper equipped, I can see what he did sort of. It will be a fun project to preform in front of an apartment building that's for sure!
