Sooo, this just happened. Traffic stopped dead in front of me, tires weren't grippy enough to stop within the 20ft of room I had.

Suck, but it should be repairable. Getting estimates today. But now I find myself wanting to do a big mod that I've wanted to do for years, namely S13.4 Kouki conversion. The car sits at a body shop now, and my initial plan is to have it repaired to running order, and have the bumper/fender subframes straightened out. Then I'll take it home and work on the conversion myself.

What do you guys think? My biggest problem now is finding a quality conversion kit. I'm willing to spend the coin, just can't find anything from my initial Google search.

I've tried looking on Raceonusa, but I can't seem to find an actual s13.4, on S15 fronts. On top of that there's no pictures of any of the kits, I seem to be buying blind.

A Google shopping search for S13.4 conversion brought up a few options

And... But pics aren't working

Sounds like a good plan, but keep in mind, its going to take a bit more to pull of the look. You'll need a lower ride height and some good wheel fitment.

Man, my vert is about to go to the body shop too. Some lady hit the rear quarter :(

Did you consider a Silvia front end as an alternative? They're a direct bolt on and maybe easier to find.
