Front end grills and headlights

Hi I have 96 maxima I want to do something cool with

Love the way their Japanese cefiro counterparts look. My question is how hard would it be to make my maxima look like one? And where can I purchase such parts to do so?

Here's some interesting pics that I fell in love with at first sight.
Nice for a VIP status:

Never seen one like this thought it was pretty neat:

Would I need a new trunk to go with those taillight s?

^Both of those cars have a TON of custom work.

Now for doing an I30 (which is the closest visual thing we have to a Cefiro) front clip, you would need a hood and hood latch, fenders, bumper, all of the lights, and possible other things

AFAIK, you can't put an I30 trunk on a maxima (someone correct me if Im wrong)

Everything from the i30 front end will fit on the maxima frame no problem?
