i was considering an s15 front end for my 93 s13 and a friend of mine said that it might look too wide on it since the s15 is wider than the s13. is that true or would the front be made for the s13 and therefore not be wider than the car itself?if so, should i just stick with my original plan and get an s13 front with a nismo bumper for $1000? and by the way, what does the nismo bumper on it look like?this summer i'm hopefully swapping my AT transmission out for a MT and me and a friend recently payed a visit to the junkyard and i managed to find an FC with the shift knob on there, quite clean as well. would that fit on the shifter? i'm guessing yes(?) since shift knobs are universal, unless it's for a 6 speed of course.

ok, im sorry but i have to get some things straight here, u r gonna buy a 1000$ bumper and u dont even know what it looks like? the s15 front doesnt look THAT bad on hatches, but u didnt specify what u drive. shift knobs are universal? i didnt know that :rolleyes how would 6 speeds make a shift knob not fit? if it has the gears on top then just say u swapped in a s15 transmission :)

he might be asking if anyone ever seen a nismo bumper on a s13......probably just to confirm how it would look like....as for the shift knob....i got confused too about the question.....shift knobs for certain cars are not universal...that's why they sell universal one....

Are you talking about stock shift knobs, most likely, NO, unless the thread pattern are the same. Why not get an aftermarket shift knob<---are unversal.
