Can someone hook me up with a parts list and some insight on how hard it his to put a R front end and tail section on an S? My wife wants the R look on her S! I know this has been posted here before, but Ive tried the search feature and its giving me a headache. thanks

i can tell you the tail section parts.u need:
subframe assembly
undertray
front and rear seat
rear bodywork
you have to re-wire some things
The wiring is a tight fit but it can be done
i put about a grand into my tail swap and that was using some used parts
The front end u would have to change the top triple tree i beleive and get the fairing support..When its all said and done i would estimate over 1000.00 to do it right...but you may look out and find some used stuff

Look for a wrecked R. My wife would love to R-out her Scg too. If Eric would give us an Rcg or RScg we would trade hers in.
Good luck finding the parts. Oyea, there is a guy on here selling some of his R plastic. Trojan or one of those guys also sell a Killer Shorty R rearend.

wrecked R's are ok but most of them twist the subframe...it took me over a yr to find a good one
