    i dont think it would match at all, 5th gens are all curvey and 4th's are box like

    The 90-93 Front end still has fixed lights. Either way alot of work to set it up correctly, and then turn around and modify for fixed lights.

    I would setup the stock lights in a fixed location similar to several of the rally cars from the same era as our cars and go from there. If you are dead set on a 90-93 look, then I would just sell the 4G and pick up a 5G. By the time you got done spending the money you could have purchased the 5g anyway.

    Of course, the point might be just to have a custom car. I think it's an awesome idea, and actually it's one of the things I had planned on doing to mine too. (The front end swap, not the light thing)

    Though, if you want to kill the popups, you might have better luck with a frontend from a 6th. Either way, you will have to do some bodywork and a little cutting to mould it all together and make it look right. It will not just bolt on. There will be fiberglass involved.

    well i looked around yesterday and i have decided that i will be keepin the 4thgen fenders and hood and bumper and installing 96-99 lexus es300 headlights and corners because the corners are the same shape as the 4th gens so i will have that custom look with less work plus i will be having an aeroform bodykit molded to the body all the way around.
