s-13 silvia front end- where to find?

[bored.40]

Hello Im new here and im looking to find an s-13 coupe and was wondering where the best place to get a silvia front end for one? Do you have to get them shipped from japan? Where is the best priced ones? thanks.

[adrianfromthecastle]

first off, welcome to nico.

second, there are (or should be) local vendors that sell JDM body peices. I'd start off by asking in the local regional forums for any local vendors.

For example, I know like 3-4 places nearby me that sell used JDM body parts, all within a 15 mile radius, lol. I'd rather deal with local vendors than having things shipped. Its a more personal customer relationship that I'd rather have than talking on a phone with someone thats on the other side of the world and barely speaks english. Plus you don't have to deal with broken shipped parts, or even lost parts from the postal service.

i agree with adrian deffunutly find a company that deals wit that stuff its better off having them deal with all that then do it your self. also you will know that you will be getting what you want instead of hoping you will get what you want when trying to do it over the phone with some one.

i dono i just think it is easier ordering stuff in person then over the phone most of the time i dont know why tho.

Cool. Thanks. Right now im thinking about selling my car and getting a s13 coupe. And when i get that i want to get the front end conversion. Im not sure of anywhere around me that has stuff like that available. I dont know of many guys around here that would know either.

What all needs to be replaced? Obviously the bumper, fenders, hood, but what about the supports for the bumper and fenders? does it matter if it is a pignose or not? Thanks

[bored.40]

I also agree. I hate talking to people on the phone and the person on the other end not knowing a freakin clue as to what your talking about. Id also like to find an s-13 coupe with the front end conversion already on the car but the ones ive found look pretty shady or the car has alot of problems. But hopefully one day.

[ashibah83]

typically when you find a conversion its sold with the hood, fenders, front bumper and support, headlights and headlight brackets, and corner lights, try looking a JHOT japanese imports, thts where i got mine form there on the east coast...Augusta Ga, and great to deal with

not a lot to choose from on his site... :\

[SullivanRacing06]

dont order crap from a jap company, find a local shop where you can go in person and inspect the front end so u can choose one that not messed up, most of the time the hoods are layed on top of each other and fenders are dented to hell, some times headligh housings are cracked.

buy a turb o kit to turbo the ka, youll enjoy the car allot more

[rouseyss]

yea id check craigslist also cuz there are actually a lot of people out there that have those front ends and trying to get rid of them for pretty decent prices.
