You guys are just pissy because it is not the overdone S15 or S14 conversion. It is something new that happens to be from Honda and that scares you. FYI Hondas have just as illustrious (and some may say more so) a racing and performance pedigree than our beloved Nissan and that irks you. Get over it. It looks good. It's different. And in the end, the owner of that car likes it and that is all that matters.

I agree. You guys cant even appreciate good body work? Besides that i think it looks great, i would personally do this myself as well. Someone actually got creative for once and did this, think outside the box people.

I don't know looks really good to me. It's done with a great taste and craftmanship. Looks mean and aggressive as hell.

So did we come to a conclusion on what headlights they are?

Odyssey '03+ JDM Models

Anyone know what bumper it is...?

And even though it looks great, what's greater is the craftsmanship. You can't say ultra JDM stuff like that is ghey when you don't understand that it's about the execution not all about the vision itself.

BTW, looks like the silvia conversion fenders are a perfect place to start off with. They provide the most similar headlight shape and are bolt-on to the chassis with no mods to start with.

I think it looks like a beast, but some angles are kinda iffy, I agree with it resembling an evo.

I like it. It's different and creative and excecuted well. My only gripe is the open gap between the headlamps is too big. I don't know if some type of grill work or something to make that area smaller would have taken away from the agressive look or added to it. Photoshop anyone?

Definitely not Accord, TSX, or Odyssey lights. They look like modified Civic lights.

This appears to be a clean hybrid conversion. Buy I would rather have a 180sx kouki front on that coupe.I hate to see a choped-up S-chassis into pieces. But this one could of been saved, if they cut it up. And send the front clip with its aero bumper to US.

Lots of people hate on Skyline conversions on S-chassis, why should this be any different?

Wheels look like VIP wheels Work VS-KF's expensive, could of went with some other choices. But guess its more of a personal preference.

So effing legit. Given the parts and tools to do such a conversion, I'd rock it in a heartbeat. Looks a lot better than a lot of conversions I've seen on here and I give it for being completely different.Whats wrong with it being a Honda front? A few of you just seem very bias

It would look better if the lights were closer together, from certain angles it looks like they are too far apart. The line separating the turn signal from the headlight part should line up with the hood line.At least it still looks better than Sil80's or S13/14.5's.

It reminds me of a squashed Mustang. I don't like how the fenders needed to be modded on a different line from the hood in order to make the headlights fit. Plus, you go through that much custom work, and you don't bother with a grill? The more I think about it, the more I don't like it. It gets a big old "Meh" from me.

Another one of these threads in here..surprise surprise!

it looks good, i would rather rock this than a s13 silvia front, it looks way better than that....if i were into s13 coupes, which i'm not but still very well done, it just needs a grill.

cant remember where the article is but Nissan has already announced that they're gonna pause their production of a s16 in order to focus their efforts into making something to rival a prius.
