Seeing as I've been dabbling with the idea of throwing a 99 front end on my GTO, I'd be going with some kind of 2G headlight. However, I got a quote from a couple of body shops, they want in the range of $1,000 to swap out the buckets and rad support... Fuck that!
So, I was wondering if anyone might have some photos, or a method of mounting 2G projectors into 1G buckets.
Thanks.
If you have a drill and a welder, you can replace the buckets yourself. Only other thing you need is a spot weld cutter, and some time.
As far as lining up the buckets, how risky would you say it is?Quote:

I cut mine and they look great if you ask me. I found a couple pics of the mod online that i used as reference when I did mine. Not sure who's car it is...

Yep, it is possible to cut the 1st gens to get it to work. I spent the time and money to replace the buckets but if you spend a bit more time on the cutting you can probably make it look almost just as good.
