    Frankenstein Stealth Question

    Hey guys, here's the boat i'm in:

    94 Stealth RT/TT. 99 Front bumper.

    I have a 95 Base 3k with a 99 Front bumper. I'm going to be moving the bumper from the 3k (parts car) to the Stealth as that bumper's perfect, the Stealth's is broked.

    Due to the same incident that borked the bumper, the D/S sideskirt has had the back piece broken off. From the side-profile you can't see it, but if you stand by the door you can see a big gaping hole into the D/S skirt. So here's my question. The Stealth is wingless and looks pretty good with the 99 front, but should I also take the 3k skirts/doorcaps and put them on the Stealth? I think it could look pretty rad but I've never seen a 2g Stealth with 2g 3k skirts and a 99 front, so I'd hate to do all the work then hate it.

    So, opinions, suggestions and photos of similar setups are welcome.

    Actually, vroom4, the black car HAD 99 headlights and they've been moved over since that photo was taken. Also I got a fiberglass hood with a viper scoop off the black car and it's needing some fitment adjustments but it'll be staying on the Stealth.

    If you check the NG photo albums I'm sure you will find said car. Forest Gump had a silver stealth with a 99 coversion, but still retained the stealth sails and the rear end. He also had the 99 wing.

    it's really down to personal preference. the 2g stealth r/t panels all have a lower lip which matches (bumpers & skirts) and you can see that in forest's sig pic. some people hate to break-up that "flow. for other people, it's about the subtle-ness of the 2g stealth sides vs. 2g 3kgt sides.

    i do like the 2g stealth sides a bit, but i really like the 2g 3kgt sides more--because they look distinctly like the 3/s. without badging on the 2g stealth sides, your average person wouldn't have a clue what car they belonged to.
