You'll need front fenders, hood, bumper and headlights from a 97+ S14. Everything bolts right in.

You could do a search for it since you have a better idea of what you want...

If I had an S14 I'd just go with the S15 front :) Or the newer S14. It's such an awesome mean look.

esper, i think you have to be a little more specific about "fix it up". . . were you thinking of coloring the housing? tinting the covers? adding city-lights? there's a buncha things that you might pull off but i dunno if any of them would be met with much appreciation on this non-rice forum heh

non rice forum?? what kind of stereotyped person are you?!?! wtf?? i just want to make my headlights look a little better for god's sake?!?!? but yeah, i want to color the housing and give the the covers that "clear" look that so many of the newer cars have. tinting sounds interesting, i wonder how that would be done........

Clear what??? The headlights are already clear!!! If your talking about doing a Euro type of look, you can't. That's the headlight housing itself...lens, reflector,etc. You can't change that unless you get a custom headlight housing made. If that's what you mean.....

For what its worth, you can open the headlight housing by putting the whole unit in the microwave on low for a little bit, this will loosen the black glue/sealant and allow you to take the clear front peice off. This applies to most headlights so I'm assuming that the s14 is the same.

PS- I'm not responsible for any damage you do ;)
