CA18det Front clip with body panels

[2012-D]

Does anyone know where I could find a complete CA/silvia front clip with body panels and all? Thanks

Probably any of the vendors listed in the sticky at the top, but its not going to save you much if any money. Maybe on shipping, but that's it. The vendors usually remove that stuff and sell it for another $900+ to maximize their profits.

Be prepared to pay close to $2000 and at least a chunk for shipping!

I know it'd be pricey, but i would like to get all my parts at once. Just need to find one...

I may be in the minority here, but I'd strongly urge you to NOT purchase a clip with body panels for your conversion...my experience with shipping front clips has taught me that they are treated as a pallet for the motor. Figure on that clip being taken loaded/unloaded a couple times on the way to your house by a trucking company forklift working as quickly as he can. He is used to wooden pallets that he can slide against the side of the truck, or push with the forks, etc... Doing those things to a clip with body work is going to ruin the body work. Assuming that the clip made it to the US from japan without damaging the body work, its probably not going to reach your house without suffering a few scrapes and dents. Protect your investment by getting the bodywork shipped seperately. Furthermore, the best/best priced front clips are probably not going to be from the same company that has the best/best priced conversions at any time... Finding a ca18det front clip with intact body work isn't going to be easy, so its silly to limit your shopping options to maybe one place in the US that has one. Check Jhot exports in augusta, georgia, or jarcoinc, also from georgia. I've bought several larger things from both of them and had pretty good luck with the quality of their items, and their prices are always very good. Their service can sometimes leave something to be desired, though, but I can't think of any place that sells clips that I could say otherwise of.

I would have to agree with slownslurious on this one. Finding a clip with good body panels will be next to impossible. Just get a motorset and buy the conversion separately.
