    the 03 rolla is nice but the 01 02 front is prob the best looking corolla to me; thats why everyone wants those headlights. 03 is very bubbly. but i'd own one dont get me wrong

    Front End Conversion

    Hey guys,
    I've seen where you can convert a 98-00 to a 01-02, however can you convert a 98-00 to a 03+? I would think it would be the same process but the width of the 03+ is what bothers me. Has anyone done this?

    changing from 98-00 to 01-02 should just be a matter of swapping out front bumper and the headlights.. but changing it to an 03+ sounds like too much work.. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there are a lot of changes in size that would make it impossible. I once saw someone take a 79 mustang and make it look like an 88' mustang because they never changed to body placements in all that time (just kept swapping out the body style).

    yeah 98-00 to 03+ would be nearly impossible without MAJOR CUSTOM WORK. They are different chassis, diff sizes, shapes, lines, contours, probly diff width too.

    then sell your corolla and upgrade to a newer model.. think of it this way, you'll reduce your mileage and get a new interior too boot :)
