anything is possible. But it is far from an easy task—and in NO WAY a bolt on affair.

doing that will require A LOT of custom body work.

DAMN! Haha… oh well…

In that case, I don’t think it’d look all that great…

Circle lights on a squarey car? Naaaah…

That’s a 2nd gen teg. Look at the flared fenders. (One of the Main reasons I bought a 2nd gen and not a 3rd gen)

Required bodywork would be Hood, Bumper, and possibly even Fenders.

Looks great, but Not something to try unless you’re already planning on painting the whole front end.
