all i see is this thread.. zerothread/342038 , and a few others but slightly different. i just want to know if i need the s14 core support. i know i would have to do some cutting/welding/custom-(brackets for the headlights) for it to be legit. other than that i havent found any more info to answer my question. yes i did check the tech forums already

If you know the tech forums are there... and you HAVE to ask, why not post in them?

You try google? Its a 240, people are always doing stupid things to make them look uglier. I promise its out there.

That looks so not right...it doesn't look ugly, but it just doesn't fit..it's too long for the coupe.

I think the headlights fit the lines of the coupe. they're angular headlights on a car with a lot of hard edges. doesn't look bad.

you read that wrong...the "headlights" fit, i agree with your statement, but because the hood and fenders are longer it makes the front appear longer, that's all.

Headlights line up nicely. Fender transition looks like crap.not a fan overall but maybe it could be done better ??

I doubt it. I'm pretty sure the s14 front is just wider than the s13.

Other than the atrocious panel fitment, Fender-to-rocker transition, and them horrible reemz, not half bad.

Only angle that works on that car though... That picture really hides how much bigger the S14 front is.

that's what i was thinking, that car looks badass but I also thought the s14 was a bit wider than the s13. that car is damn sexy though

The headlights fit the coupe, the rest of that kit kinda destroys the look of the car maybe it would look better with stock fenders and bumper

IDK if its wider or not, but i doubt it, as the hoods interchange on all of the s chasis and they never get wider, unless the fenders come in more but i doubt it. His "Wider" problem is most likely because of overfenders in the front and not in the rear.

On a side note I have seen this car from other angles (At least other pics, and if it is same angle, then jeese he's really duped me) and it looks fuggin gooooooooood.

Anyone who thinks Yuri's s13.4 is ugly is a f***ing retard. Those are Wed Kranze Cerberus. He has newer sicker one off wheels now. Way cooler then all of your stupid faces.

No offense to yuri's car, it is very nice, i would like it better without wing or two tone, but i think enjuku got the fitment thing down pretty well:

i think you just need the headlight mounts that holds it up and everything else should hold together but if all else fails then ZIP TIE. That how my front bumper is held on
