fitting 03 bonnet onto a 99RX

  Top of Page

Would a 03 bonnet fit onto a 99 Rx? what else do I need to replace? guards, headlights and bumper? or just headlights and bumper.
Thanks
Terry

Technically the whole front cut as every part is dependant on the other... For example, if you change the bonnet, you have to change the headlights, if you do that then you have to change the guards and bumper or non of them will sit properly. Different dimensions!!!

White MY02 Liberty B4 - Dyno Tuned @ HP-F - APEXi CAI - STi Front Lip - 6000k Xenons - Full 2.5" turbo back exhaust system - 18" GMAX in black.

Double the trouble = B4!!!

99 is the Rev A-C Gen3 and the 03 is one of the last Gen3s made. The whole front end is different

That is your only option if you want a scoop. Unless you buy an aftermarket one, cut a hole in your bonnet and stickytape it on

Early B4s were never made in Aus so it will be harder to find one FYI

It'll look like my Rav 4 with a rex scoop tongue
