Default Re: changing frontlip SRT to N/A, dilemmas?

He's the same guy that really badly wanted to do an SRT engine swap. Nothing wrong with dreaming though. It would be the only white SRT6, but I think he will come to his senses when he realizes how much a good paint job will cost ($8k - $10k USD) Maybe it's cheaper in Sweden, but when you add everything up...

Fubar, rather than rip your N/A stuff off your own car (I know that's what you are thinking of doing because you're crazy like that ), find someone with a white N/A that wants to do a conversion and swap parts. You'd have the upper hand so you could ask him for a fee, like $1500 or more to make the trade. That will add some cash for your paint job, and then you sell your N/A as-is without a hack job and you don't have to spend money repainting the old SRT parts white. You'd end up with at least $2000 USD saved toward your paint job.

Or just put NOS in your N/A for $500 and feel like an SRT6, but still look like an N/A.
I put NOS in my Viper so I feel like an SRT10, but look like an... RT/10
