I was the first on NICO to have them, the first and only in town to have them on any car. Beat that. I didn't think they would get this dam popular. *sighs*

There are 4 different models of s13's and you already own one of them. Saying you are converting to an s13 front end sounds retarded b/c you already have one. :)

Why is it a big deal everyone else can figure what S13 front I was talkin about cause if i already have the one with the flip up head lights then they would guess it the JDM Silvia S13 front end. Why would i buy another 180sx style front end????? So who cares.

A lof of people like the kouki 180sx front end and a lot of people w/ hognoses (like yours) upgrade to the chuki. I'm not making a big deal, just pointing out that what you said was vauge.

Yep. That is one of the hottest S13s I've seen in a long long time. I notice that you are lowered. Care to share your suspension setup w/ us?
