I see the transkit listed, how difficult did you find replacing the front? I have a couple in the stash that require the different front end and I am always hesitant about cutting body parts off. Going well so far.

The Reji conversion is very poor. Quality leave much to desire. I had the same bad feeling about cutting the bumper off but just did it with razor type blade "with teeth" s it come off quite quick. The rear spoiler needed to be cut off nd the big gap needed to be filled with putty (lots of). The wores thing are really poor surface of resin parts, parts are also warped and the rear spoiler has tottaly wrong shape. The decals are tottaly tragic. The thicker decals I ever encountered so far with very poor details. They are like rubber type stickers - forget to soften it with any type of decal softening solution. Even the hairdryer was not enough... If I manage to complete this build I will be happy but never bring it to present it on any scle modeling show.

Yeah, that sounds like Reji. Thankfully, I have Studio 27 kit with white metal pieces.
