I guess one of the few that actually doesn't like the front end. It's too flat IMO. Looks like the bumper got smushed in. But nice job on the conversion none the less. It's very different and unique.

Second, question...did you happen to make a mold so that you could sell the window pieces?

I'm planning to do a MDP (mexico domestic product

) conversion (Mexico b/c shipping will be dramatically cheaper than Japan) on my GE Fit in the near future and the window pieces are holding me back.

If you ever do your MDP conversion let us know. I'm dying to do the conversion but to source all the parts from japan isn't really wallet friendly

Ironically the new wagon version here in Europe is going to use the longer American nose, to balance out the extended back end. (wagon, estate car, shooting brake, not sure what you'd call it

)

i dont know if it is because it looks better than the USDM or if it's just because it is something i cant have, but i am in love with the front end. makes the vehicle look shorter and smoother.
