Been a couple year now and finally I have save enough money to start working on my 240. I been on this forums for awhile and been doing some research for quite some time but I kind of need some information. I really wanted a S15 but since there isn't any in the US, I thought of getting a S14 and do a S15 conversion. I google some site that sell the conversion but most site have one that doesn't fit my style and is wondering. Can I just buy the S15 conversion hood, headlight, fender then just put any normal S14 front bummer on it?

no the s14 bumper wont work, and if you wanna do it right buy OEM parts and a core support too, graft the OEM fenders to the s14 ones and fab up everything else to fit right, then be happy you did it right and hopefully it looks good, all the kits made to "convert" the front end lok like poo...really

Ok few things first, There are a "few" s15's in the states.. Secondly if you get a s14, The only conversion you should do with it if any is the Kouki conversion.. Trust me there is nothing wrong with that front end, and it looks sexy as hell.....

There are alot other things you should worry about first before and s15 conversion

pretty sure it said "need help building my dream car" not your dreamcar s15 fronts look fine on an s14 as long as you graft the stock fenders together like ashibah83 said. wheels and suspension are a must to make it look good so make sure you budget for coils and wheels as well

he was asking advice about an s15 swap, to be more specific about the bumper. nothing else. you had to chime in with your opinion on how a car should be built and just assumed that the s15 front was all he is going to do

Yeah im going to voice my opinion, I personally think he shouldn't worry about an s15 swap, I dont need no person thats named heardofaskyline to bud into this and start voicing his opinion to me.. This is not your question, So this is the end of this conversation, Im glad were clear..
