not a fan of that, the headlights don't match up with the rake of the front end very well and the front fenders look wider than the rears. It could be done much better.

Agreed... It's too wide.

The S14 front is wider than an S13. In my opinion, it just doesn't fit the curves of the car.

I do like the origin kit though! Nice picture find!

Does anyone know where to find the fenders for this conversion? I have done a a lot of research on this change over and had no luck finding anyone that makes the FRP fender?

I'm not aware of any kit that does it, you'll probably have to go custom.

you guys are such riceboys. Slobbering over a 2k+ custom front end job. The money would be better served on some speed.

SIKE! That **** is the hotttttttttttttttttttttttttnessssss. hehe. Honestly though, it's pretty cool - but wow, that's gotta cost some change.

Oh and one other comment: Yeah, those fenders are probably custom - just get a set for the stock s13 (if you ever do a conversion like that) and let the shop deal with it.

Oh and yeah. maybe the car needs a set of rear 30mm fenders too.

A shop in Japan makes the FRP fenders....just can't locate them?

I already have the parts for the conversion excluding the hood and fenders and the bumpers are a dime a dozen here in socal. And by the way, it would be about the same amount of "change" as doing a Silvia conversion.

Yeah, that car needs 50mm rear overfenders and it definetly needs to lose the stock 350Z wheels in favor of some 0 offset rollers.....

I dunno about that, kouki bumpers are different than zenki bumpers and I haven't seen them anywhere near the prices that S13 bumpers go for. Aftermarket ones all cost about the same though, cheap fiberglass is cheap fiberglass no matter what mold it fills. I've seen silvia conversions in the $500 range here in houston. S14 kouki front ends alone go for that much, minus the custom fender and body work to get it all to fit an S13....

Its all about who ya know.....or in my case, who ya work for. I can do this conversion for the exact same as it would cost to do the Silvia face.

A FRP bumper from C-West is much different than a Fiberglass bumper from GTP. Trust me, I know.

I've never used this kit (nor do I know of anyone that has), so I can't comment on quality, fitment, etc. But, at least I did tell ya where to find some.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That is beautiful, please post more pics, without the odd colorization, and from more clear angles if possible.

I'm just finalizing a deal to add a vert to my garage to join my 96 240 and am torn between a silvia front end or this.

again, real nice looking
