Default G35 front end on a 350z?

Has anyone done this? Similar to the sileighty conversion done on the 240sx.

I think I remember someone looking into this and it would require quite a bit of modification (some custom fab) and cost to do so.

You are probably just better off buying a G if this is what you want to do... It will be pricey.

A G35 Headlight conversion would still be a little costly, but you could probably cut, mod, and mold them in for $1000 or less...

Similar? It's kind of similar, like putting a Miata front end onto a Ferrari 360 modena...

I thought of doing this a while ago when I still had my Z...

I looked up all the parts... your looking around $3K before paint and labor....

not knowing if the fenders are going to line up / hood etc...

SKYLADY hehe...

there are pictures of someone who did a G35 Coupe Rear End on a Roadster floating around... (doesnt work IMHO)

Dear god why? Your car would have to be medicated by a psychiatrist to overcome that kind of identify crisis.

+1 with the idea of puttin the G's *** on the z33.

however most will consider this blasphemous, as do i. best to leave each car alone IMHO

it's an interesting thought though.
