BS Widebody conversion parts

Trying to get information about what additional items needed for the BS wide body conversion. The eBay sellers aren't responding to inquiries. Anyone that had done the conversion please chime in. Im specifically looking at the SPV6 kit. If anyone has done this kit specifically and could give me proper wheel offsets that would be great as well.

You are going to need 2012 headlights and adapter for the harness or rewire yours to fit the new headlights. Lots of cutting and body work will need to be done. It's going to be very expensive to do the conversion unless you have a super cheap shop. The exhaust may need to be moved and you will need the black series tips. You can contact SPDV6 and order their wheels since they know the offset. http://spdv6.com/index.php?pr=Wheels

So Headlights is it? I thought there were a few other parts that needed to be swapped out. like bumper mounts etc.

SPDv6 is not responding to any inquiries. They have removed their phone number from the website and i have sent numerous emails to them via website and eBay but no response. However they are still actively listing their kits for sale.

They are hard to get ahold of

Try:

Larissa @ SPDV6 (714) 931-7504

She contacted me after I called her.
