Default Front Conversion 2007 is350 to ISF

i know that the front doesnt line up, i have ifs side skirts, fenders, fender liners, hood, bumper cover with all plastics, impact bar, all brackets. was told i need the upper and lower radiator support. i want to know has anyone done this before? i know that if you are doing the front end conversion you need all the front end parts, isf hood is wider then X50s..

a search will show that atleast three members have done the front IS-F conversion:

It is entirely possible and quite easy if you have all the parts. its a direct swap

Why don't you just get a used IS-F. Converting the body but not the powertrain is plain silly.

Lol +100000000
But so many have done it and I recall one or two even went as far as throwing on the badges.

I'm Just totally confused bc OP's user name says ISFdude and he claims to have a 2008 isf already so what's the point of this thread?

I have no idea why they're trying to be something they are not.

Agreed, something is not adding up

Lol... A corolla S is a corolla with a body kit... An ISF is a beast and in its own league. These comments tend to come from people who can't afford one and buy a used '06 2IS and post up "started from the bottom now we here" as their theme song because they're ballin so hard.
