Hope this link works, uniqueautosports has a yellow S15 with a Nismo front bumper, but they also have a grey S15 with a different front bumper, Im a little confused on which one they are selling. They yellow one is fahqin awesome, anyone know anywhere else this front end can be had?

Takakaira also has a Nismo front end for the S15, but its not the one im looking for, but im guessing Nismo must make several front bumpers fro the S15.

Its called a strawberry face because fifteen in Japanese, Ichi-Go sounds like the word strawberry.

A Strawberry face conversion is when you put the S15 front end on a S13 or a S14.

Takakaira is a Japanese exporter, they carry a wide range of performance and aero parts at a premium price.

http://www.takakaira.com

I can get you most anything from there and usually at a lower price, it just takes a little time.

Did I miss anything? : )

Unique MS is nice and all but they are located in Australia.

Man, I want that s15 front end bad!! Dauntt, where were you about 2 months ago when I was asking around for one? And whytf is it so easy for these stupid honda rice boys to get the front end SILVIA S15 conversion for their stupid integras, and next to impossible for me to get a Nissan front end for my Nissan vehicle? Pisses me off when I open up that stupid audio and sound rice mag, and see civics and integras with MY FREAKING FRONT END!!

I wanna kill whoever made that kit for the hondas, totally playing out OUR style!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrh!

The reason it is so easy for hondas is because they have to fabricate everything but the headlights. The only part that is not custom is the headlights themselves. Now you could get some S15 headlights on ebay for $700 then try to fabricate it onto your car at a bodyshop. Im not sure how much it would be.

ahhh too late now! Good idea though, thought about it myself for a little bit, but then the "what if?" kept nagging me. I'm not really too big on frankenstien work on my ride, and I'm not sure if my body shop guy can do that kinda stuff.

What about the yellow S15 nismo front on that site, looks like it has fangs. Thats bad a$$. Just wondering if its actually a Nismo bumper, and if anyone else know where else I could get it.

It appears to be a knockoff of the stock Spec R front bumper, if I had a better angle I"d show you, I'd believe its a NISMO bumper, I'm pretty sure its just a copy or one of the other OEM options, I talked to a guy in Aussieland with that EXACT front bumper, its stock on his S15 Spec R.

thats not true. fifteen in japanaese is juuichi. ichigo is strawberry or i suppose you could say "one five".

also, to really be saying "eighty-six" japanese would be hachijuuroku" :rolleyes

woopty doo, so thats what they technically mean out of a dictionary...but seeing as the japanese started calling them what they wanted because they MADE them both up....they are prolly right.
