Can a 2002/2003 headlight fit if a shop is to play with the hood a little bit?

[NSX/MR2]

I am thinking about doing a conversion to the stationary head-light. My question is: can the head-light fit if I am willing to let my (personal) body shop play with the hood a little bit? When I said "play," that means some cutting to make it fit.

I know that I will have to replace the front bumper - that won't be a problem.

Other option is to replace the entire front, right?

Is there any other alternatives beside this? I know that SOS has a stationary head-light kit, but for some reason I really like the new look from the factory, and unless some kit that would come close to look (2002/2003) in the eyes, I wouldn't consider it.

What would you guys consider?

Take care,
De

Did you see Chris's reply about some new headlights coming to NSXPO on this thread?

No, not yet, John. Thankyou for pointing that out!

Take care,

The cutouts in the hood are very different. It would be much easier and affordable to purchase a new hood.

Some cutting will be necessary on the top and side portions of the headlight area. Also, some "adding" will be necessary on the top corners farthest from the fenders. There's a picture of someone doing this in the picture gallery. The headlight slots in the bumper will have to enlarged to accomodate the longer headlights too. A lot of work.

The hood is the main problem. You have to fill in the empty space.
There are guys who kept the fenders, front bumper and installed the new head lights.

So no other head-lights options instead of the new factory-ones and the ones that John pointed out to me?

The above picture is how I would personally do the )2+ headlights. I like the look of them on the 91-01 bumper. However, I did notice that the bumper on his car is modified, so I don't think the 02+ headlights would fit an unmodified 01-021 bumper cover. I sure hope SOS's headlight kit will look similar to the 02+ yet still fit the 91-02 bumper cover.

To me , Those headlight look like a copy of Mugen and Marga Hill in wich both are REALLY UGLY(IMO).
Ps. NSXSAN..why ask a question when you already knew the answer!

NSXG35 Pics of the space that needs to be filled in.
I cant wait to see it when its done.

Here is some lights you might want to put on your wish list.

I don't like the looks of any of those fixed lights ^^^^^^^^^^^
I do like the OEM fixed ones though. Better integrated into the flow of the car IMO.

i dont like any of the options, either except for (as an upgrade)the factory set lights, they are nicely sculpted...........

 

[AndyH]

i agree........factory is the best

 

[NSX/MR2]

The ones on the red NSX right underneath the 2002's model ones. Who make them and how much are they?
