They're going on the NICO Project Vert, pics soon.

I wish Nissan put the one on the left with 2 round lamps as a stock. 240 headlights popup too high, and I guess that's why many people don't like them. Look at old Miata. They look somewhat stupid with headlights on. It looks like a FROG. You know what I mean? If headlights come up just about right like NSX, I bet more people will like them.
damn sorry i'm looking for the book you have here

It's from Drift Tengoku(Drife Heaven) magazine. Let me see if I can find their website address. You are probably looking at $700-800 shipped. I'd love to get 2 round ones for my car. I haven't seen their ad in recent issues, so who knows they might have gone out of business or something like that.

Here you go. It looks like they are in business, but like I said I haven't seen their ad in Drift Tengoku for a long time.http://www3.ctktv.ne.jp/~allro...8.htmIt's about $550-$600(59,800 Yen), so you can figure out the total with the shipping. I want to get these for my car.

I've been exchanging emails with him recently. He's a nice guy, but reply is kinda slow. Anyway, I think that'll be better starting point.
I wanna see a write up on how these are installed.... or maybe someone can clear it up for me. They look almost like the trim bezel on the popups so maybe they act in the same way?! Any info would be greatly appreciated!!

Don't do it. Fitment is horrible. slownslurious had them on his car and told us that the fitment was just horrible. I don't like Super Made stuff.

I'll explain further:

"just" putting a Silvia front end on is an understatement:

-Silvia verts look quite boring unless they have full aero (sideskirts, rear valences, wingless trunk). This jacks the price up way beyond the $600-800 for the Sil front.-Unless you are extremely lucky, you also have to paint the whole kit.-The lights are illegal because they are too low and they blind the drivers on the other side of the road.-Swapping the entire front is about as much of a PITA as swapping the flip-up lights.

You ever tried to fit DOT-legal projectors in the flip ups? There's a reason you don't see too many S13s with flip-up projectors.

I know exactly what you mean. If I get a front end damage, I'll go for this conversion. I already have aero skirts and valences, so all I need is an aero bumper and optional lip to complete the package. One thing though. I still want a wing on the trunk.

BTW, side skirts on this car are not Silvia aero skirts. They are from early version of 180sx. Areo skirt ends are not droopy like this one. It's straight.

only on the hatch, anything else it would not flow at ALL. I have yet to see those Super Made buckets on a vert, with the right kit, it could look AMAZING.

To me the only conversion that looks right on the coupe is the s13 silvia or the s14a. S15 front doesn't flow with the lines of the coupe the same as the sileighty doesn't flow.

if anyone is interested in a set of brand new, still in box, never installed, EAST BEAR HEADLIGHTS for 90+ 240sx that were originally priced at $650 contact me for pics. I purchased these from http://www.jspec.com 3 years ago, but sold my 240 and now left with this perfectly mint condition kit. $500 plus shipping goes to the first one to contact me. Send me your offers to [email protected]

That 240Z convert is so ol' skool. I was set on keeping my winkers, but I jus fell in love with the 240 'vert!Can ANYONE please tell me where to find them. Don't care much about price, just point in the right direction. Silvia conversions don't really interest me too much, makes the front of the car look way too square... yeeaaaagghhh...
