hey guys! so i have been thinking about this ever since i saw this kid's pic posted . He crudely slapped a 350z front on 240sx in photoshop. and i can't help but really dig it! I was wondering what the real possibilities of making it happen would be ? I know a 350z is wider than a 240 front end but with the 350z fenders and front bumper is it possible? i have the pic on my computer but since it was made in what i believe was photo shop I can't open it to save it as something else.... as a side note does any one have a a copy of photoshop they could hook me up with so i can do some virtual modifications to my car

THANKS!

that sounds pretty interesting. i had never thought of a 350z front. I had thought of other things like a new Audi TT front and custom fenders. It would be cool to see some mock ups of a 240 with different front ends.

forgot to mention i am looking to do an oem z bumper on not a body kit bumper. I am not really a fan of that bumper on z's anyway it takes away the style of the z and turns it to rice

^its not anywhere near as easy as you are thinking. there is only two in existance that green one and the orange one in teh back. both made by option and they are either z or g35 rear fenders. alot of custom work

That looks pretty nice, but it looks kind of funny right where the fender runs back to meet the door. I think it would be cool if someone did it a little more subtle and natural looking too.

^^ that spot just looks like a d3 style fender.

the only thing i don't like is the way the wheel gap is infront of the front tire. everything else is awesome. just to see all that work done.

and doing this conversion isnt rice? Do you realize that this conversion isnt practical? that this isnt one man doing this with stock body parts? These are companies with alot of $$$ that are doing this. Im sorry, S15 conversions are one this but this one takes the cake

ICK, just plain ick. When will you kids learn, a little mixing and matching is okay sometimes, but that is just obscene.

If we all really think about it, why would we have to change the bodies of the s13 or s14? They look great completely stock. I think the only reason to do something so crazy would be to either make it look more unique from everybody else's already rare 240's...or, they got their bumpers and fenders ripped off and they thought "what the hell, might as well just see what else looks good on it"...maybe.
