I also did fear the 1G sides not being same height as 2G bumpers on my own 91 TT. It would stand out less on a black, or dark colored car. Mine is fiji blue
You could paint the lower portion of sideskirt, but the indentation would likely just stand out more... 2G sides are too Avenger coupeish
Looks great I was looking for a Spyder for the same conversion for years. Very happy to see someone getting around to doing it. The nose is not my taste because I love 1 gen. nose. I hated having it on back burner all this time but building custom cars is my focus on.
This is coming along nicely and is a very cool idea! Personally, the 1G Stealth styling is my least favorite of the 3Ss (even though I've owned 4 of them) but I think the combination of the Spyder roof and the Stealth will be unique and awesome.
My current 92 Stealth has 94 SL door caps on it. The scooped out area doesn't line up perfectly with the side skirt vent, but with a little tweaking they could be made to and it may tie the Stealth and 3000 components together a bit...just a thought
Just realized my rear combination (tail) lights don’t work when I hit the brake. Lights on/off and turn signals work. Luckily the center spoiler brake light is working.
The 3000gt harness connector (F-30/F-10) has four wires but the Stealth only has three. On the 3000gt it goes GR/Y/BK/GR-W, on the Stealth it goes blank/GR/BK/GR-W. Guess if I change the Stealth connector to GR/blank/BK/GR-W everything should work.
Does anyone know what the Yellow wire does on the 3000gt?
On the 3000's the whole bar lights up for the running light. But only the main rectangle bright lights up for brakes, the side triangle bright lights for turns.
Looks OK. IMO you need a break (black band/line) just below the spoiler on the taillight lense so it doesn't look like the spoiler is covering part of the taillight.
I'm gonna go ahead and sub to this. Looks awesome from the back. I too think the Venom bumper was a mistake, but I'm sure you'll change my mind when it's done. Good progress!!

I would have liked it if it looked exactly like a stealth but had a hard top convertible but it just looks all frankenstein with the spyder rear spoiler, 99 looking nose. I am glad its not a mess but theres so few of these spyders, it would have been less of a travesty if it was a salvage title or just a wrecked one that was used instead of a good one, but thats just my opinion. Its your car and you can do what you want obviously
Put the viper bumper on and something looked off to me. The lines or something didn’t go well with the car. I’m a fan of the 1G hood but would have needed to cut holes to get the pop ups to work so I passed on that.
The thing I like the best on the Stealth is the 2G rear bumper. Had the 1G side skirts on but the lines didn’t look right. And totally agree it does look plain but in the end I decided to go true to the year...except for the 1G wheels.
Well done.
Beaut VR4 Spyder, looked good with the 99 front on page 2, looks good now.
Neatly done and like your reasons for doing it.
Thinking Mitsubishi and Dodge lucked onto a magic jigsaw of panels that turn out good every which way.
I've not seen this thread before, cool project. The only thing I would've done different is 1st gen Stealth body all the way. That would really throw off the people that are familar with the Spyder, they'd be looking at the car going "wtf?!" lol
Straman or not, I'd be curious to see a Stealth banana photoshopped on to this car, I imagine a huge amount of wellding/filling to get a smooth rear deck lid and a '96 reproduction banana, but it would just make the car that much more unique.
Looks great. I think the 2g tt stealth 5 spokes would make it perfect!
