You can checkout just about any large supplier and they have the full conversion kits available. I was going to go that route with mine, but I think Im going to just keep mine as a standard front end. The cost involved is much higher than I anticipated. So my plan now is to complete the car as a standard, then maybe later on switch it to an RS type. I do like the RS version much more.
From what I understand, you will have to buy a set of brackets for the fenders. These will allow the use of the hideaway headlight capsuls which differ from the standards. You will not have to weld them on, you can also rivet them on if welding is not an option for you. But if it were me, I'd weld them on.
Other than that, everything else is a bolt on and no other modifications need to be made to have the grill fit. The center grill uses the same mounts as the standard grill.
in addition to the grill, you will need an RS lower valance. If you want to complete the look, you will need to modify the rear tail panel to fit the backup lights in the lower section and replace your tailights with a set of RS tailights.
this is only information that I have gathered, so it may not be 100 percent accurate and I may have missed something. But to my knowledge, its correct info.
