What kind of dork rides around with the rear quarter windows up with the top down?

Good Lord. Way to ruin the look of a great car.

p.s. The black one is the hotness.

i always thought you did

Or people with broken window regulators I suppose.

I see a lot of mustang convertibles bounce around town with their reare quarters up. I did it once when I was having issues with a top bolt and had it on manual power. I hated it.

1) The black one is hot, but I could do without the burgundy color top.

2) The guy is a dork.

3) How much does a conversion like that cost??? (afraid to ask)

3) about the same price as it is to get a regular s15 conversion, and thats more than a $1000 no clue on exact price however.

it looks cool, but in my opinion the back of the S13 vert wont agree with the front of the S15

which is the same reason i was discouraged from doing it. well, that and the price... in my opinion, a jdm s14 conversion would look real good for the fact that the straighter lines on the vert (and coupe as opposed to the hatch) would look better with the angled fenders and lights of the jdm s14. however, all the research i did says that the jdm s14 conversion on a usdm s13 isn't a bolt on affair like the jdm s15/13 conversions due to different dimensions of the jdm s14.

fenders are closer to $200, hood $300, bumper$300, headlights $550 from courtesy parts, and for S13 you don't need a core support or inner fenders, just use silvia headlight brackets ($14 from courtesy parts) and S15 hood hinges ($60).

Its not cheap considering its just body work, but you can a good deal on it if you shop around. The best deals may be the bodywork kits that places like raceon usa sell and the headlights from courtesy parts.

Bear with me, I'm about to embark on the s15 conversion just because it is hard. I do have mod experience and hope to get close to the black one with my own artistic mods.
