EXA front end on an ET. Easily Doable? Or a nightmare?

Post by enthrall »

I'm thinking of trying to install an exa front end (bonnet, guards, lights etc) on my ET.
I think the lot should fit as a straight bolt on, bar the lights, which may need some tinkering and extra switches for the 'pop up'.. Assuming they fit in the available space that is.
Has anyone done this before?
Are there any major problems involved?

I have done the other way around.

Things you will need.
bumper and Rio bar
2 front guards
bonnet

pop head lights
switch for pop up head lights.
wiring loom for pop head lights

You could possible rig up your own way of popping up the head lights.

but I would use the exa wiring loom.

here is one thats been done.

This local guy is parting out an exa..It says no body panels but can't hurt to ask

Lol. ironically i was offered that entire gumtree car for free if i was able to get it off the original owner's storage property a few months ago :(
Didnt have the space or time at that stage though :(- Exams were in full swing.

The exa/ET hybrid look is pretty sweet!- i really like it- thanks for the photo! I already have an ET Jetspeed front bar i'd prefer to utilise as opposed to the EXA bumper look.. looks like it coudl be frankensteined into the mix maybe.

Cheers for the ingredient list Amraks- Appreciated.:)
