    Default ae71 slanty front to flat front conversion

    hey im new to ae86dc and want an ae71 instead of ke70, simply for the fewer hassles with the 4age conversion.
    however i dont like the look of slanty front. i am wondering what parts and roughly how much it will cost to change slanty front to flat front, what parts and is it easy or should i get it done properly.

    thanks alot

    have a look at old sales in the parts section, panels go for between $10-$50. You need flat front beaver panel, and if you want to do properly you will want the JDM style beaver panel which is about $200 depending where you get it from. the other option is to fit the flat front adm one and angle grind a little away under the lights themselves. Its hard to explain, but if you see a photo of one done, then you'l see where it dips away under the lights, and this 'dip' isnt on the adm flat front beaver panel, hence the angle grinder.
    Anyway man, you have to search... im new here too and i already know this stuff. Its not hard you just have to look around, and do a bit of reading. All the info is here!!
    Good luck with it.

    you need:
    bonnet
    guards
    bumper
    lights + brackets
    grill
    scuttle pannel (bit between windscreen and bonnet)


    bever pannel should be the same.

    should mostly bolt up, but you may have to drill new holes for the headlight brackets, im not sure about that.
