A buddy of mine owns a 2006 Toyota Corolla S and wants to do a 05 Lexus IS300 front end conversion. Any ideas where to start?

 

I think corolla S looks pretty good as it is.


But if you really want to do the front end conversion, you can start with selling his corolla. They are totally different cars.

 

tell him to start saving $$ for IS

 

start by not wasting the money on the conversion and just buy the real thing

 

The Corolla is a respectable car in its own. From a cosmetic standpoint, to me it's money lost. A quality set of JDM wheels, big brake upgrade, engine tuning will gain more respect than this front-end change.

There is a pic posted of a Corolla concept project from one of the VIP tuning companies. I dunno if it was on this site on a JDM mag like VIP Car or VIP Style.

I would discourage the front end swap. For every IS owner out there that sees this car, it's likely to get negative attention.

 

umm i thought different car conversions was done and over with when the honda phase went away.
