Hi I'm really interested in putting on a S15 Front end Conversion on my S14 and my S13. I found some sites but They are all kind of pricy. Anyone know where to find the best price? Most places i've seen for 2500-3000 bucks. Any place cheaper like under 2000 range?

s15 conversion on a s14 = good.

s15 conversion on a s13 = GAY + dont do it you should buy a SR20DET with that money and be at least fast or something not G A Y.

I Hate to be harsh but a S13 front conversion (like in my signature below) is very much more tasteful.

What S13 with an S15 conv. is gay???? I say it looks the best on a S13 Hatch!!! If you have a coupe dont do the S15 front end, now hat would be gay.

First off, welcome to NICO:)

Secondly, do what you want, your car, your money

Figure this into the overall price.

S15 headlights alone, usually run around (edit) $600Hood/bumper/fenders/core support/paint/labor.

If you go with a cheap brand company that sells the conversion, its going to be horrible quality and you'll have to spend allot more money at your body shop to make it fit right.

Get lets say a Strawberry face conversion (better quality) then, well, you'll have to spend the extra dollar, but everything will line up correctly. Strawberry face conversions will vary in cost (depending if there are any dings/scuffs/scratches on body panels) so look around, call some of your tuner shops. Our sponsors are a good place to start.

Here are some links that might help

Lastly, SEARCH:)

The S15 conversion on the hatch looks awesome. The way the headlights pinch in the back fit perfectly with the way the rear glass pinches. If you have the 240 coupe, i'd say go with the S13 silvia conversion. the 240 coupe is more boxy and square and ...well, is made for the s13 silvia conversion. Anyways, underground motorsports has everything you'll need for either conversion and they will match anyone's price.

Well I talked to my body shop. He says he can do it. Like should I ask for a Urethane setup? or a Fiberglass setup?

Only thing that is G A Y about any s13 is a silvia conversion with a KA

~not baggin on KAs, have one myself and plan on keeping it~

btw: I love the S13.5 conversion

I say the headlights belong on the car they come equipped for.. i personally have grown to love the silvia S13 front end.. but, i wont get rid of my flip-ups, if its the death of me.

Why dont you just go and cry about the "gay" remark then cause it doesnt matter. The 180sx/240sx is a little curvy, but still the design makes the s15 front's complex curves look out of place on it.

I just think they look better on S14's or the original equipment and alot of people i think would agree.

Oh and silviaconversion, i apologize for my manners. Welcome to NICO. I did not mean to scare you.

I like the way silvias look. Just dont think it is proper to have a "silvia" without an SR. Which is why I will never have a silvia front end. Kinda like putting a SRT-4 kit on a regular neon, a Saleen kit on a GT, or an SS kit on a Z28. Just not right in my opinion.
