need info on 02/03 conversion

[Tobal]

Hi i am in consideration of doing the 02/03 front end conversion. What i heard is that these are the main neccessary parts you will need to do the conversion:
1. Hood
2. Bumper
3. Headlights w/ lights
4. Front Support Beam

Is there anything I seem to be missing?
Also along with those parts what are the process of install?( i heard you have to cut some pieces of the fram) I know that all the parts will cost me around $5500~ OEM

I am talking to a body shop about fabricating some fiberglass parts to do the conversion. This way i can eliminate some parts like the front support beam which saves me another $1000. And get a custom Front bumper & hood for the headlights. This way i will get a original look while cutting down costs.I'm hoping this will cut down costs of parts to less than $3000 total

i wonder once you do this convertion if it would raise the value of the car? has anyone seen a converted NSX with the newer headlights for sale?

I doubt it. Especially if corners are cut as Tobal is planning, instead of using all the OEM parts. But, as with any other mod, do it if you want to have your car that way; don't expect to get anything you spent back at resale time, and you'll be fine...

I just want to clarify one thing too, Is the 02/03 fenders the same as the 91-01. Will all the new oem parts match up with the old fenders?
