the silvia front should look good since it belongs on the car. IMO if done right the kouki front looks amazing. but would need aero and good body skills to pull off.

i think the kouki looks amazing too. esp on verts. dont get me wrong i LOVE the silvia conversions, but IMO the Kouki looks similar just having more demension. i like the angle of the lights for the kouki. well thanks for your input, ill see what the polls think for a few days.

I don't understand the point of this thread. Do you have some kind of neuro condition that makes it impossible to make decisions for yourself?

If you know what they each look like, find out how much work goes into doing it right and then make your choice. It's not that hard... unless somethings wrong with your brain...

Chill out dude.

If your comment was at all directed at me, I WAS JOKING. I hoped he would get the joke, as there is a sil40 in my sig. But you come in here getting all butthurt about something that doesn't even concern you.

Relax.

it does seem as if there is alot of negative posts lately. but... alot of guys get tired of repetitive questions and also they want people to build a car for them not what nicoclub wants

thanks for the input guys. yes i need to decide for myself and i can, but i do want a second opinion. i got the joke AZ im getting better wheels, those are just the ones that came on the car and i dont have money atm for more. the new top comes first. then wheels. for those of you that wanna see a "not so crazy build" and just a moderate soon to be rebuilt and boosted car ill keep Nico updated. i mean come on, imagine if i was one of those guys that ruined the name of 240's, you would wish that you had given me some input, so again, thanks...

I'd say just go with what you like the most since you'll be the one driving it, since how you feel about your car is all that matters. but keep it clean haha

True but honestly it takes more effort to make a post flaming the guy then it does to hit the back button on their internet. I say S15 front end conversion if you have the money!

Well, IMO I really S13 silvia front end on verts, I traded a chuki bumper and extenstions that I was gonna put on my piggy for a silvia bumper, the guy met me in davis, and he had a red vert with a silvia front looked really awesome, but the I see you already have the piggy front which I think looks sexy. Flame all you want people I likes what I like, not what you want me to like.

No. Flaming was faster. Plus the "Text a girl 'Can I tap that?'" thread/game has me knee deep in the coochie, Jr. lol

Seriously. Go to google. Type in s13 vert/ s13.4 vert / s13.5 vert. Click images. View said images. Say to yourself "I like that one!" DONE.

I don't see what the problem is here...

Yeah I have a S15 conversion..... Wish I never did it. But a Sil-Vert is awesome looking in my opinion and its just bolt on.

What is done or planned for the car?

Well, I like conversions. I think they all can look good if the time is spent to make it look good. The S13 silvia would look sweet. Wouldnt be too hard to make a good fitment. The Kouki would also look sick, but I agree with the other guys. It might need a kit to look good. Plus that would take alot more effort to make it look good then the S13 silvia. The S15 can also look dope. It all depends on the ammout of effort/skill that is put in to the conversions. I personally think the vert can pull off almost any conversion, but the tail lights should be switched as well. IMO

Well my plans for it are to swap a rebuilt KA24DE into it and boost it. just a T3/T4 turbo on 11-14 lbs of boost or something. Nothing crazy. like i said, just a moderate build. ive already switched the tail lights too

Sil-vert will look a lot better than a s13.5 or kouki. Take your time doing it right.
