I kind of agree with Morlock, it doesn't make a bunch of sense upgrading an NB8A to NB8B look. It would be cheaper buying an NB8B. Plus on an NB8B you get a 6 speed, better motor, better brakes, ABS, seats, dash, etc, etc...

makes sense to me, if you already have a NBA & want to change the look, modding vehicles is not just about the cost but what we what to do with the vehicle, it's a very personal descison, if it was just about cost everyone would have standard vehicles & forums like this would not existlightyear wrote:I kind of agree with Morlock, it doesn't make a bunch of sense upgrading an NB8A to NB8B look.

For the headlights, these guys have some fancy looking stuff at reasonable prices:

Haven't used their products myself, but through various car circles I haven't heard anything negative about them.

Not much of a modification if it is standard on the next model. Who knows you modified your car?
In saying that I have done it, only as I had the bumper and lights. Still was a big deal for me to to wire up the lights. Had to find all the right plugs.
