So, as I states in my other post long story short paid 4800 for a 2000 a 2 years ago and after 2500 miles the engine seized, so I couldn't justify letting that money be a waste and finally got a new/reman. engine 3yr/100k mile warranty... Over the past few years I've been learning a lot about this car from this community and as I prepare I start learning new things again and trying to do the research in detail about the new... Such as for this build I do not have access to a hoist Soooo that thing is coming out of the top, saw it's mainly suppose to come out of the bottom and a few said they've had it done and heard of it done so we'going to attempt it, work with what ya got right? Lol, second thing I came to is the hydraulic fan and the conversions and the alternator issue, now I know I've seen something about all of this here n there and never registered to look into it or even what the hydraulic fan was... Never heard of it til now... So to my first question I looked up the fan on AutoZone website n it looks like they only offer an electric fan, has anyone used this? I'm thinking and seeing that given the hydraulic fan has been an issue I might as well do the conversion but not exactly wanting to throw an extra 300$ at a new flex a lite fan, and reading that it causes a little more stress on the alternator is that where the big 3 comes into play? any thing else to keep in mind or look out for along the way is welcome I'll be posting pics with the progress
 
Are you sure engine provider will honor the warranty with you doing install? Most of the time they want to see pro shop do install with receipt.

The side skirts and rear lower valance are from the 2002 LSE model. The front bumper cover and grille are from the 06 model. 03-06 oem HID headlights.

Finding the side and rear pieces can be done but it is not always exactly easy. It took me 3 years to find a rear lower valance. Prices will truly vary depending on if you find and buy them from a seller who does not know what type of rare items they are sitting on. Past that, be prepared to pay $400-500 before shipping for just the sides and the rear.
