Am I the only one that completely digs the USDM non pig nose front clip over the JDM Silvia front clip. I just don't get the whole Silvia clip swap fad. Don't get me wrong the JDM clip looks good but like I stated before I like my USDM non pig nose front clip.

If you if you like you USDM front clip post it

They both look good, just the JDM is a more of a "look I actually did skill full work to my car" kind of thing.P.S. Your car needs paint

Agreed. I love the chuki front, but it needs JDM half amber turn signals, CDRL's and a lip like Garage Defend or Xenon to look really nice.

I'm not going to post pics, because you can just go to the 'chuki check in' thread for that.

I personaly hate the pignose. I love the pop up front on the hatches because it flows well. The hatch is a long, sleek body with no sharp edges. The front end matches this. On the coupe, the rear end has sharp coreners. The JDM S13 is a sharp front end. It flows better. For these same reasons I hate the sil80. The front is too sharp for the rear.

I hate the pignose front, My brother has that front end on his still, when I buy mine I'm either gonna keep it that way or do an s15 front. I just think it flows good too

I have a hatch and a coupe, and i want to keep my chuki front on my hatch and one day after the hatch is done ill get a silvia front for the coupe, for the exact reason listed above. smooth flowing bumper for smooth flowing body, sharper/more boxy bumper for sharper/boxier body......couple exceptions like az's sil40, that one looks damn good, but for the most part...

Speaks the truth, but there are a few hatches with jdm s13 front that pull it off. I love the the chuki front end on the hatch.

I personally like the 180SX non-pignosed front end. The Silvia front end always made me think of a Toyota Camry until the late model S14s, which remind me of the later model Mustangs. S15 Silvia front end is massive hot-s*** though.



It looks nice on S13s imho.
