Thanks for all the info.
I was actually just researching the Sport brake swap. Perfect timing. I just need to find a used set of the base brakes to swap. I appreciate the details. Hearing it from someone who did it is perfect! Oh and what about the rims? Will the stock 18's clear the bigger brakes? I know in the G the non sport stock rims don't fit the bigger brakes. I'm going to want to upgrade the rims anyway. I'd love to snatch up the stock 20's and complete the Sport appearance but they're pricey, either way, I'll have the brakes ready to go if they don't fit the stock rims.
I think I'll pass on the Q70 swap. I know if I don't do it now I probably never will but I really like the M37S bumper and I'd probably be $2K deeper into the project if not more.
The car runs, drives, and the rear end doesn't have any damage, from the pictures anyway. Hopefully the rest of the body will be in good shape, if not, my friend will hopefully help me out for top shelf liquor and the cost of materials
I'm so excited to get this going I just ordered one headlight, a broken tab and a crack in the housing but a perfect lense. 150$ with an extra ballast from the other busted headlight. My friend is in a middle of a move so it'll be a little while before he can get started on it so I have time to find parts. I definitely want to stay with oem parts and not aftermarket crap. I'm waiting on a return call from a junk yard in texas, they ship bumpers. They have a Sport bumper for 275$. If they have other parts, it may be worth paying the inevitably large shipping fee. It was towed in today. I hope I'll get a chance to see it tomorrow. I'm lucky to be extra busy at work during these times.
Cant wait to get behind that wheel!
