Preface to Postface

[kiko.man]

I just had an idea to swap my current front bar to a post face lift Emotion Fukuoka front bar.

I can list a few obvious parts and funds shouldn't be too much of an issue, so we'll avoid that topic

Proven parts:
- Emotion Fukuoka Front Bar
- Front lip
- Post face fenders
- Post face head lights
- Post face fog lights
- Post face grille

Not sure on these parts:
- Inner guard liner
- Crash bar
- Some random parts?

Any help is appreciated, hopefully I can get this underway.

Inner guard liners yes 100%. Post will fit, but there will be a few gaps underneath.

Thats my contribution.

Try PMing dr20t as he fitted post facelift front bar, side skirts and rear bumper bars to his pre facelift so would have an idea of what is needed!

Thanks guys I'll give him a PM and find out whats required.

I just remembered that I saw his car in person once and it looked like he succeeded in the change.

Hey ian

I'll save you the pm. The following are needed;

Fenders (aka guards)
Inner guard liners
Grille
Headlights
Washer bottle
Wiring loom all the way to engine bay fuse box (including hid relays)
Front left lower control arm
Rear left control arm (both of these for the headlight levelling sensors)
If you change wiring loom then you will also need the radiator fan plugs as these are different pre and post facelift or just change the radiator / fan assembly
*edit* - also need the bumper bar mounting brackets that mount underneath the headlights

That's it from memory

Hope this helps

If you can find a spec B GT then you'll get alloy front control arms with the HID mount.

I'd imagine to fit the rear HID leveler you're also going to need the wiring loom to the rear with the little box that has the bracket connected to the rear lower control arm.

Have you seen that movie where John Travolta and Nicholas Cage change faces? In the end they go psycho. Just imagine....

Sounds like it'd be quite a bit simpler if you went with normal facelift headlights rather than the HID (self leveling) ones?

Definitely

And Stu yes you're right (prefacelift jap spec Gt I'm assuming you're talking about)

Appreciate all the info! So it seems like most of what I assumed were right.

I'll definitely go with the normal lights opposed to the HID to save me some drama.

Might have to visit a wrecker for all the small bits and pieces but looks like a feasible upgrade
