99% of clips won't come w/ body panels unless you specifically ask/pay more for them. Even then they will probably come dented. If you want the sil-80 then buy the conversion kit...It's more expensive but your guarunteed to get what you need and guarunteed that it's in good condition..and you can pick and choose hood/bumper/fenders etc.

rco8786, i dont think he is talking about the s15 conversion (strawberry face) where you can choose what stuff you get with it, he is talking about the s13 hatch with the s13 silvia front end (95% or the places will only let you request a color, but its random what you get most of the time).

Grey240sx, i hope you have lots of money saved up ;) If you get a clip you will get most of the parts you need except for the manual driveshaft. Also, dont waste your money on the typeX wing just yet, spend it on something more useful like a limited slip differential.
