**PICS** '98 front end conv and paint **PICS**

Finally got my 98 front end on the car. Big thanks to Jay (thebigsadler) for the hook up on the bumper and Stillen lip
The paint and front end convertion was done by Tommy at WestBabylon Collision, you can call him at 631-321-4893. I highly reccomend him if your on LongIsland and need repairs or a paint job.
Once the max was home it took a few hours to re-install and clean up everything back to normal. The hood needs to be buffed out a lil more along with a few other spots around the car, but otherwise it came out like glass.

What was painted:
Full Stillen Kit, Fenders, Hood, Front and back bumpers, full radiator support beam and both mirrors. The rest of the car was machine polished to get rid of any other scratches, but maily to blend the front end to the rest of the car.

Damn the 95-96 rear-end looks way better with red-clears than 97+. Looks more muscular. I know it's off topic but...

Looking tighter than ever. I love the look of the 97 front end with the 95 rear.

The paint and front end convertion was done by Tommy at WestBabylon Collision, you can call him at 631-321-4893. I highly reccomend him if your on LongIsland and need repairs or a paint job.
Once the max was home it took a few hours to re-install and clean up everything back to normal. The hood needs to be buffed out a lil more along with a few other spots around the car, but otherwise it came out like glass.

What was painted:
Full Stillen Kit, Fenders, Hood, Front and back bumpers, full radiator support beam and both mirrors. The rest of the car was machine polished to get rid of any other scratches, but maily to blend the front end to the rest of the car.
