Why would you wanna switch from piggy to chuki? That's a depressing switch.

All I know that you will need is the bumper, bumper support, and both fenders.

Next time, if you're gonna ask about something like this, you need to use the search button. It's a lot quicker and it keeps the forum from being cluttered with useless threads about topics that have already been covered.

Also, welcome to Nico.

Don't you think I've already used the search button??

If you don't know just don't post, I already know I would need bumper, bumper support, and both fenders but I want to know specific(that's why I suggested photos)

if anyone knows I would appreciate any help.

It's been covered many times, I'll clear things up for you though. You don't need a new bumper support or new fenders. The only difference in the fenders is two holes on the bottom front of the 91's and up for the chuki bumper extensions. You could easily cut the holes you need with dremel or just ziptie the extensions on.

What you need is a chuki bumper and chuki bumper/fender extensions.

Unbolt your stock bumper and bolt on your new one. You might have to remove the bumper foam thing I don't know.

This should be VERY easy!

Nick we're sorry, we thought you used the search button.Here's your life on a silver platter. I'm handing it to you ..

Just find a chuki in a junkyard and take anything bumper related... it's SO fkn easy if you can't fathom how then you just need to buy a saturn.

PEACE

Ok, friend thanks! That really helped! I thought it would need more work to be done. It seems clear to me now, I will try it, and post some pics when finished!

I am not planning to make the replace these days due to work. But when I will start, I will let you know

Firstly don't use the term ''we'' since you personally told me nothing, secondly the more I wanted to know is the things that StandardProspect said.

Again if you don't have something to say about it, don't post.

I don't care what you personally think, or how easy it is for you. Stop acting like a child and give a try and understand that some people might be interested to this or face the same problem.

hey danielson (aka OP) please think through what you say before saying it that way you don't look like a fool (no offense) I used to post with out looking at the search button and got owned for it so next time use it I know you can find what you are looking for next time if you take a little time.

nicks13nissan.

consider K'NEX or Legos as a hobby instead. those are color coded and come with instructions, this should be more up your spoon-fed alley.

dont come on here and ask overly simple questions, then get agitated that once you received all the necessary info, that people started wondering why youd ignore the obvious/supplied and continue to say you dont get it.

im mean, i know. i dont have nice things to say and you dont approve.

tough cookies bro-tron.

I am not a big fan of the pignose front at all. I did come across one on the local craigslist though. Here is the link if anyone is interested in it. http://springfield.craigslist.....html seems cheap enough.

So you want pics of a stock chuki? This site is full of stock chuki 240sx's.

Are you between the age of 15 and 19? I see you joined the 25th of feb, 2010, don't come in here like you own the place, and don't lie about you searching because if you really searched I wouldn't be in here talking to you boy.

People have already told you what you need and you still want pics? Im sure you know what the chuki looks like and that's why you want to switch to it.

im not trying to be a d!ck but I have to, you my friend belong nowhere near a 240sx, nor cars in general, get back on your skateboard bmx what ever you were on and stay with it, if you really need to go far take the damn bus.

Don't cop and atittude with me either, you came in here acting like we were supposed to go to your home and do it for you, we should go to your home to kick you in the nut sack for being stupid.

I say, mods, there should be a ban for newbs coming asking dumb questions like this, surprised he didn't ask what way should he put his key in to start the car.

SeaCreast out b1tch!
