While I agree with the last post before mine why get a stealth if you prefer the 3000gt? Plus how did you address the different rear quarter window cover. Never the less, great job on the write up and pictures.

Ok first the stealth question. At the time I was new to 3s so didn't really have a "taste" in them. Also tho, I very much prefer the stealth sails+3000 body over the 3000 sails.
Now about the sails. The walk-through involves basically the "body kit" not the sail panels. However I am contemplating making a write-up on how to switch from ES->R/T sails as well. There are a few who have actually converted the sail panels to a 3000gt as well but that's way more work then I want, and like i said I like the stealth sails better.

Because Stealth's were what I seen first, and nobody around here was selling a 3000GT, not to mention within' my budget.

I did the rear conversion to my stealth, and i have 2nd gen 3000 tail lights.. I found the plugs in the trunk to plug them in, but they don't work.. if i plug in the old reverse lights, they work though.. does anyone have an idea??
great write up but one thing thats dif w stealths and 3k are the rear side windows. i noticed cause i wanted to get the 99 combat wing but it looks wierd on stealths. is there a way to change that part too?

The dfferance between the windows is that the stealth windows are in front of the sail panels. The 3000gt windows are behind the sail panels. So basically with the stealth the little window flows together with the door window, whereas the 3000gt little window flows with the rear hatch window.
It has been done to do a swap of the small windows but its long and involved. It involves breaking the seal on the window, spot welding c-pillars from a 3000gt into the place of the stealth ones, and then redoing the glass and then finally the sail panel itself. IMO MUCH more work then gain, if you want it to look like a 3k that badly just buy a 3k.

As far as I know they will bolt up fine. There should be the same bolt holes and everything you'll just need to get 3000gt door caps to go with the sideskirts. If you want a write-up on changing only the sideskirt check stealth316.com under "side air dam".

alright if you want any more detail then I go into here PM me.
Are you using the same wiring harness for the tail lights? If so, check your bulbs. if you are not using the same wiring harness, try switching harnesses. They all plug in the same so its not like one will work and one will not. (I assume you are talking base/ES conversion to 3000gt not r/t. because r/t is different and a little more complicated)
