Whoa! It's like if the two cars I have parked out front (240z & 240sx) had sex, this is what the result would be. heh! Strangely disturbing.

it's definitely not a bodykit, that had to be a ton of fabrication. i think it loks pretty nice, but dunno, those two cars are from waay different generations, look better separate.

i saw that a while back in options.

If you know the old z cars at all you would notice that it is a front end from a 240z not a 280zx they are almost the same but very different

yeah, it has 240/260/280z headlight buckets (all the same) but the hood is completely custom. Basically they stretched the 240z hood to make it way wider. Also, the 240z hoods open backwards. There are no 280zx parts on that conversion.

The best non-flip-up headlights front I've seen on a S13 fastback. Yes, I've considered S15 headlights and S13 Silvia fronts.

Makes it look very exotic. I love the 240-280z So I would consider it. 3k thats bout what an s15 is right. Hell I'd rather have that and be a bit different. But then again 3k would buy me some nice engine stuff.

Actually... it doesn't look like there is as much custom stuff to be done as you might think. You need to make a fiberglass mold for the headlights, and then you could just set them in the "stock" area, then cut the top half of whatever bumper you want, then make some sort of grille and voila.

Of course, that conversion looks much better with the different fenders.
