Got a couple questions about fitment of JDM S15 body parts on a 1998 240. As I posted in earlier post my bro killed my front fender on my 96 240 I was letting him borrow, he now wants to buy the car from me and said he wanted my front end off my 1998, so this led me to start looking at the S15 front end I wanted on my 1998.

I did some digging and found possibly a JDM S15 fiberglass fenders, Hood, Stock JDM front bumper and some other parts so leads me to a couple questions. From what I have heard the S15 fenders, hood, and front bumper goes on a 1998 without a ton of modifications. Is this the case? do I have to change the core support or other structural pieces to fit the JDM fenders, hood, and front bumper? Also anyone ever grafted on S15 Rear fenders and bumper on a S14, and if so How much needed to do that? Wow after all that work I might as well import a S15 from Japan. Last question any street legal S15's for sale here stateside?

There's a street legal Silvia? How? Where? Me wants! Yeah, going on only what I've read it's a pretty simple job (I say "simple" because the people who have done them probably knew what they were doing, if I were to do it, God knows what it would look like), with no major fabrication needed. There are also S15 conversion kits on some sites (sorry I don't know any off the top of my head). As far as the rear fender and bumper conversion, I can't say I've ever heard of it being done.
