The look, to me, is...meh.

But the fitment looks great. Every Skyline front end I've ever seen had something about it that made it look tacked on.

With some new paint this would probably look like a stock car to most viewers not in the know.

Among the best conversions I've seen. Still doesn't mean I like it though. These type of conversions = poser-ish IMO. At least the wheels fit decently.

Yeah, it might look like an R33... until a real R33 pulls up...

ok welll i would agree but it only has an SR in it.. my thoughts were that if youre gunna make it LOOK like a skyline, put an RB in it so it RUNS like a skyline.

thats why i didnt like the car as much

I agree 100%

I dont hate it, and I dont love it. It just is, its not something I would do, but I wont denounce it because it doesn't look terrible.

What I love is the fitment, as far as I can see it is perfect. All the lines flow, the gaps seem good, and the kit fits pretty darn well. Even the ride height and wheel fitment are darn decent.

I give it a for being well executed.

I like it. Probably the closest-to-stock looking conversion aside from the s13 silvia.

I'd definately do it over an s15. In a heartbeat.

if the front end was slightly more "scaled down"it would look really good.IMO the headlights look huge on the s14

of course, picture angles can hide a crappy job, but most other ones don't even look good in pics

the second picture the front bumper is primered.......... curious how clean things get the closer you get to it.

I agree most dont even have fenders and front bumpers lined up........... let alone HLs that look installed cleanly or areo to make the rest of it look like it belongs.

it needs matching tail lights and rear quarter pannels.... and most importantly the RB swap!!!....maybe a RHD conversion as well... other than that the front doesnt look too good with silvia tail lights in my opinion
