Dr_Tiwa Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 It may just be me, but I know that I am a proud owner of an 05 LGT who really wants an 08-09 rear bumper and tail-light set up. I haven't seen too many people talk about trading, but I hear of a lot of people want one or the other. I do not know how to sticky this or anything so hopefully I don't catch too much flak for it. Obviously it's a little bit harder to just swap with the color differences, but hey, free part just paying for a paint job is just fine for me. That being said, is there anyone else who's been thinking this way and either wants to help make a sticky or swap rears? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that would make your post even more idiotic. Bottom line: Possible, but, costs thousands. Do you really want the 08 backend (which, not alot of people want, anyway) that badly?

Dr_Tiwa Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 It doesnt cost thousands, its literally the bumper, lights, and clips...then you paint it. No need to be rude... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Tiwa Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Oh and I meant brackets, not clips. Apologize Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12sechatch Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 1st, dont mind Tris. Every forum has their, lets call it "abrasive" member, he is ours. 2nd, the front is a good amount of change, which is the difficult part. Fenders, hood, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTris Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Rear should require the 08-09 quarter panel, too, right? The 05 taillights are taller and a different dimension than the 08-09s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Tiwa Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 No it doesn't. I don't care about the front though, I just included it with the thread. I just care about the rear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Tiwa Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 It will only be a price of a paintjob for the rear if someone is willing to swap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Tiwa Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Even the front end swap isn't terrible. Obviously this would be easier on a weekend meet up or something. But it's not unreachable. Parts are interchangeable and you'll have them all at your fingertips with a swap instead of buying all the parts yourself http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/lgt-05-07-facelift-08-09-215225.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BagheeraLGT Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 there cant be all to many ppl who want to swap from an 08-09 style backwards. The better call would be to sell their 08-09 and find a cheaper 05-07 in preffered color, condition and mileage. But i dont think theres too many guys who prefer the stock 05-07 usdm look. We're all trying to convert from that look up to 08-09 or to one of these.. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/official-jdm-conversion-aftermarket-body-thread-112608.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Tiwa Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Yeah I figured but I'm sure there are a few people who don't. Like MrTris said most didn't like it, and you're saying most do. So I'm assuming that there is a decent amount from both sides of the spectrum... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
