Had to photoshop it on a coupe because all the pics on the web are s14 fronts on fastbacks.

theres something about that.. i dont know what, i cant deside if i love it or hate it.. I'd like to see it with some wantanabe wheels and a different air dam though.

And heres something to chew on.. How come its considered rice to do a front end converstion with a honda.. but Nissans are okay? (just something to think about before you yell rice next time)

EDIT: left out the whole subject.. heh sorry bought that..

Man I would love to do that to my coupe but I still love both the s13 silvia front end and the s15 which is dead sexy!

I am starting to hate the word "rice"

I trhink you just answered your own question. I NISSAN front conversion on a HONDA. I never yell rice, just bad taste.

Yeah i caught that when i was quoted... long day, sorry bought that.

But yeah... besides hot rod guys have been doing every conversion under the sun and no one seems to mind.. Im with you.. the word rice.. the idea of something being ricy.. It sounds ignorant to my ears...

yeah i agree it too low in the front... rice on the hand it just depends... if i see an integra front clip on a crx i dont yell rice. i think hey thats not very common. looks cool. but when i pass by that stupid mercury tracer with the fake racing stripes, 14 inch chrome hub caps, and backwards maounted wing, then i yell rice, or rather wtf?

oh im sure if you do a conversion it will look like that. do you have any idea how much it would cost to build that car? yea i didnt think so.

the car is way sick, i showed my friend who is building a S13 as we speak the car and he was like, "ok thats going up as my desktop." car is great looking, not a drifting car but as a show car it looks good.

They are VERY VERY hard to come by though.

S14 hood fits with S14 hinges and and you just use any S14 bumper and get creative with aluminum brackets to mount it. Removing your core support and swapping a S14/S15 core support makes for a much cleaner install BTW.

I like this guy. Thanks for the lil bit o tech too. And...yeah...pics when you done and ready.
