AE102 to AE101 front end

What parts would I need to get for an AE101 levin front end conversion? I guess I'll need the headlights, grille, and bumper. Will I have to change the fenders? Also, any ideas where I can get these parts. And also, do you think just the grille will fit if I have nothing else?

keep in mind that the japanese front end is meant for RHD traffic and its not DOT approved, so I dont know how your inspectors/cops will like those.

It's also a question on if they'll notice.

Haha, are you serious? There's such a thing as "meant for RHD traffic"? It's symmetrical

Oh... bah. I guess I won't do it then. It's too much money to invest for fenders and hood and all that good stuff.

yeap, just like aaron said, they are not symmetrical. RHD and LHD point in the different direction, as they show more light to the passenger side of the road.

i know this thread is old and dead but for u new folks researching here's some pics of the ae101 Levin conversion, it's pretty clean. People said that you can just use the sedan's fenders. all you need is the hood, lights, grill and front bumper. keep in mind... tickets, tickets, and tickets. i had a 240sx with a JDM front conversion and the California highway patrol loved to have me tickets... but i'm still going to do a LEVIN FRONT END CONVERSION NEXT WEEK AND I'LL LET U ALL KNOW.

NON SUPERCHARGED LEVIN FRONT CONVERSION



SUPERCHARGER 4AGZE LEVIN FRONT CONVERSION









MY OLD 240SX FRONT CONVERSION (JUST TO PROVE I HAD ONE BEFORE I SWITCHED THE FAMILY SEDAN)

WHEN I WAS PUTTING IN MY SR
