Anything can be custom mounted on almost any car. This would clearly not be a direct fit. You would to get custom mounting brackets for the body parts and the lights. The lights will be a pain in the a$$. If you have the money just get all the parts and have a custom shop do it for you, but it will be really expensive. They also the possibility that someone might make a conversion kit for your car, similar to the S15 conversion that is very popular for the S13 and S14 Nissans.

It's not likely to be a direct bolt-on application. It would take some fab work.
