My body kit on my GT is pretty much trash and I have started to like the look of the LX kit. How difficult is it to convert body kits? I would imagine it's a pretty straight forward swap. I know of MANY cars I could get the LX body kit off of, so getting it isn't a problem. I imagine I would have to find one that has good plastic and good brackets.

Mine was a GT, now a LX. It's pretty easy. You will need both front and rear bumpers, the extentions between the front fender and bumper on both sides, all the side mouldings. The GT "ground effects" can be removed by hand but you will need to drill out the brackets and patch the holes. If you want to swap rear deck spoilers you'll need to do a lot of drilling, so I left mine in place. You'll wonder why your car looks so much smaller afterwards.

My GT ground effects on the side are already sagging, so that should be easy. I also plan on keeping the GT spoiler. I think it looks better.
