Has anyone heard of this before? It's basically a total front end kit for various Japanese cars to convert them to look like a 70's GMC/Chevy Suburban.

I saw this on Jalopnik:

Anyone know of a source for a first gen xB kit like this? Thanks!

 

yahoo.jp is the first place to look. The freight will probably cost more than the kit itself, but it certainly would be unique stateside.

 

That's just not right.... unique, but still not right.

 

I saw this on jalopnik as well, and I think it's the greatest thing ever. I'd love to have a miniature 67-73 Suburban.

 

Some of those actually look pretty good.

 

They look great to me too!

 

interesting..

 

awesome!

 

thats awesome.

So if someone did this stateside they would be JDM by looking USDM?

The universe just imploded

 

I have always wanted to do this. You would think that someone stateside would make a copy of that kit.
maybe someday.

 

so wait in all this confusion with my JDM headlight conversion stateside on a USDM vehicle...does that makes me *gasp* JDM??!! j/k j/k

i love the looks tho.. the japs are gods choosen people...i swear

 

That is the greatest thing I have ever seen. I have a '69 GMC and have actually pictured my xB this way in my head before. I can't belive it actually exists. I would love to have one to park all 3 together.

 

Ah man thats amazing!

That'd be neat to have one of our boxes here converted like that.

 

Hey, I am willing to give up Gothbox to use for R&D for a kit. ;)

 

Oh dear lord that makes my pants grow very tight.

 

Thats just nuts!!!

 

FYI, while very cool, those aren't built off xBs. They are built off the Suzuki Lapin.

 

cool

 

Those are awesome....

 

they look good
