This isn't the first time I've seen this question asked. With enough welding I suppose anything is possible but like the previous gentleman stated... "looks similar but they are very different."

Its really not that much you need but only expensive part will be the lights it self.

List of parts would include..

Hood
Fenders
bumper with brackets
lights
corner lights
center grill - optional.

But Dr. Occa did a sweet weld job on his tureno hood (flipply lights) and made it to a Levin Hood. So with that being said that would be 350 to 400 bucks saved with just doing that yourself. If your looking for the conversion look on the site MODIRIDE.com and you can find the stuff there.

i saw a thread like this somewhere on club4ag, i think. apparently it'll work with some modification, but won't look as sexy as a levin. lemme try and find it...

can't tell if this is a levin or a sedan front:

It looks like a sedan corner and head light, retrofitted onto the ae86 fender. see how it fits into the ae86 corner light in the fender? then i guess they made a custom fiberglass front bumper?

SW20 with a Levin front end :shock: I'm sorry but that just looks awful. The car even looks like a saddle shoe.

So far every car in this thread is hideous! Just do a proper Levin front end.
