S15 conversion

Thanks

you have a true 180sx? If so the hell with the S15 keep ur front. I never liked the front end being put on a S13 or S14. Some cars can pull it off, but 95% of them do not. I don't know why. Drift-X's car that was on SuperStreet like 2 years ago that Galaxy Blue color now that was hott. But I'd stay with a Kouki front end.
Goodluck with whatever ya choose! Remember we love pics!

let me warn you about the fitment on that stuff as it's not gonna be good. i see so many people on the 240 boards trying to do it and going with the cheap brands (like VIS or any of the other american companies) and just giving up or ending up with really shady fitment (if you're bored, read this thread for more people who have already been through it: http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=59235).
if you're gonna do it, save up for the good stuff like masa fenders and real JDM aero parts (c-west, gp sports, etc) as it will save you lots of work and money in the end.
good look though, if done right it's gonna be awesome!

i agree with cody. the fitment on the kit probably will not be as good as you would think. the OEM S15 front fenders do NOT bolt up to the S13/S14 240's, so the kit uses conversion fenders they manufacture which are most likely made of fiberglass, not metal. Aside from being made from a weaker material the fenders most likely will not bolt up perfect (uneven gapping between doors and fenders), however a good body shop could make it fit and look really nice if you are willing to pay for it. i guess what im saying is the front end looks great, but expect to pay a very good body shop to put it on because its not a bolt up kit.

you know i have to agree with them on the fitment problem. my s15 fenders are from masa and they still do not bolt up exactly. i didn't complain though because i only paid $600 for the entire front end.
it took me a whole day just to make the fenders and the headlights line up against each other, and then into the night to get the rest on. the hood and the bumper are oem though, oh and the lights.
good luck and if you want i could find you a front end for way cheaper than that...pm me

I don't like the s15 front end on s13s or s14s. I just dont. I feel like it is completely a show-car thing to do and it is played out. You will be spending at least $3,000 on parts alone. Not to mention all of the bodywork that will need to go into it because it won't just bolt together perfectly. Then you gotta paint it. For that money, you could get all kinds of stuff to either make your car go faster, or look better. Thats just my opinion.
If I was going to drop that much money on aesthetics. I'd go for a full Ings, Vertex, or GPsports kit. Those all look soo classy.
Oh, btw, I hope you don't live in an urban area because I can guarantee theives will be wanting to take that car. Those headlights alone will sell for 600 on ebay.
