Hey guys....Im about to order the S15 frontend conversion and I would like to ask your guys/gals' opinion on which front bumper I should use and which is of better quality. Heres the link where it show basically all the bumper I have narrowed down to. http://www.importfan.com/subca...=1174I also like the Trial front bumper too. What do you guys think? Thanks in advance for your responses. :ylsuper

Unless you've got every performance part available for the 240, I don't understand the point in doing a front end swap. No real gains...the 240, regardless of the year, is a beautiful car and you're going to waste $2000 or however much just to make it look different (not necessarily better). Concentrate more on go than show...you'll get more enjoyment out of it...just my expert opinion :D

I have already ordered my SR20DET from Daunttless.....and my front end is wrecked....so I might as well get the S15 frontend.

yeah and you could probably sell most of your old parts for some good money to recoupe some of the cost of the conversion ( not if it is wrecked of course but if it's not wrecked you could)

I'd say go with this onehttp://www.importfan.com/produ...=3621

But when i swap i think there's only one way to go, the Target Wide body front end...... :)

what sides/rear do you have? im saying that because if you were to keep the "stock sides/rear" which is nothing, then go with something very clean and subtle that wont hang low.... example: jdm s15 front. then youll get a really clean, stock look to it instead of high sides and rear and a bumper an inch off the ground. if youre doing a whole s15 kit... i definitely say go with c-west, its my favorite s15 kit and the cleanest IMO. but i suggest using the 2,000 + bucks on a t3/to4 with tons of goodies.

Is the front end conversion for a S14 or S13? I Have a S13 and I am planning on doing the Sil-Eighty conversion. Makes the S13 look so sexy.......just my opinion

Yeah I have seen the Garage Defend one but I didn't like it as much. Im down into either Do-Luck, Bomex, Top Secret, Hippo Sleek, and Trial.
