Questions about front end choices
Ok guys and gals I've been looking at diffrent whys to make the Q look better and stand out more .So at 1st i thought about a nice clean body kit ...but some of those have a very high price tag and right now i cant affored to spend money on something like that .I found some cheap not realy "VIP" type one's but they werent realy my cup of tea. So as i look around this fine site i noticed some very nice looking "stock" Presidents or Cedric's and so on . Is it possible to swap out the front ends to make mine look like that or should i just leave it and wait till the funds are in order and go for the body kit .
So heres my question or questions
1) What front end is what ( pics would help) President ,Cedric,Cima ?
2) What is the major diffrence between those fronts (again pics would help)?
3)Who should i talk to when ready to order ? On site venders with a good seller rateing is a + ?
4) Are these fronts basicly a bolt on type deal (if not what do i need to do )?
5) I've seen Elpresidenty(sp) selling some parts prices seem fair but what should i look to pay ?
I know i'm new here and some ppl look down on me cause i have a million and 1 questions but this is realy the only way to learn and to be able one day provide other ppl who have the same questions answers in the future .
So any help would be appreciated thanks in advanced and let the flaming begin....

what year Q do you have?
By the time you order the front end (hood,grill,bumper,foglights possibly fenders) and ship it you will probably be looking at close the same cost as an aero kit.
My suggestion is save until your ready to buy what you want. Wide N Low styling gets expensive and you really need patience in this game. Rather than just doing things for now for the immediate gratification just save and buy what you really want. No one is going to hate on you because you don't have aero..As long as your stance and fitments is sick that's the main thing if you want folks respect and attention. All the other stuff is cherries bro...

ive seen a g50 president swap in progress and it was a ton of money and not really straight bolt on.
i wouldnt bother unless youre knowledgable about body work or have a good shop in mind.

A President front end swap costs more then a body kit. Just save up for the kit you want or for the front end. Do what makes you happy.
Edit, I thought you had a G50 (90-96) There is no president front end for the 97-01 since the President used the same body from 90-01.
