323F/Lantis front end on a 323/Protege?

[SlickDizzy]

This just came to me as an idea.

It'd be one heck of an interesting looking car, probably very cool. Has anyone tried it before? Do the fenders, bumper, hood, etc bolt right up? I'd assume they do as the 323 and 323F seem to share the same front end structure.




So do you guys think it could be done fairly easily?

[SPENONE]

Now that would be awsome!

[SlickDizzy]

I've been thinking about it, and if I can get a price estimate, and it's in my range, I think I'll do it, just because it would be absolutely badass!

[sixhex]

i'd rather just import one of those...

i don't know if the front end would look right...
someone should photochop it

[jnorion]

Have fun getting a hold of the front end.

[JGSlayer]

here, a quick chop:

[sixhex]

hm, well i suppose that doesn't look too bad... but eh, i'd rather have the whole car...
mmh

[MazdaRacer]

if ya chopped the roof on the 323 down by like 4-6" it would look OK, otherwise...fugly

[SlickDizzy]

i can get either the whole car or the front end parts.... if the price is right.

What's the "right price" for either? Can you give me a ballpark? I'm merely curious.

[mike_moss]

Yeah, doesn't suit the car. But hey, whatever floats your boat!

[Gro Harlem]

yup, the lantis's roof is lower..you can tell just by lookin at those pics.

[MazdaRacer]

now, that Lantis front on an MX3 may work out....

[Kelly]

You would have to cut off the top corners of the fender up by the mirrors on the mx3. And as for the 323 that would be absolutely disgusting.

[jitb37]

There is a Mx3 with a lantis front end on it on mx3.com..

[MazKid]

Looks like the 323 needs a fender anyway...
