Is this really possible? Someone mentioned that the TRD 99/2k pacecars had a front end conversion to match the 2k2/2k3 models. If you had the money, would you do a conversion?

why not, the front of the new body style have nice curves for em, instead of the flat going across, gives it more style i think

I wouldnt change...I like my 01 bumper with the over sized fog lights, and I dont like that tear drop part on the new headlights...

The only thing I like about the 02-03 bumper is that its pointy. Other than that I like mine.

It is really possible, that's why I mentioned it. I have a bias to dual headlamp systems over single bulb dual filament systems.

I love our front end, but flip is right, the dual filament bulbs suck. Now that i am looking into real HID systems it so upsetting to see that i will lose hi beams because of the H4 bulb

Well it's nice to have a seperate high beam to "flash" when you need to for safety purposes or signal purposes. I prefer a dual setup over a single. Illumination is much better with a dual, due to the reflector design.
