well for one i had to get the s14 dash support. take air bag out. there is a bracket that bolts on to the main support 2(10mm) bolts. use the one from the s13 so it fits bolt on the s14 dash support to it, since i dont have ac i took out all the ac plastic just so it can fit flush. as far as fitment problems if you use the dash support its easy cuz it bolts right in. there is also a gap though about 1/4 of an inch on the drivers side where it bolts up to the body. I put a couple washers in place and its all flush now. the doors shut perfect and the door panels line up (s14 ones) the pics above still have the s13 ones on i was just excited i got it all in. as far as se cluster i have to go find some s14 clips cut them and re splice them back so my se tac works =]. OH and s14 dash > s13 dash i think the 14's is way smoother than the s13 plus mine was cracked. And i had a spare dash laying around. Oh and my car is already a frankenstien lol

carbon fiber pillars : i got stock pillars and wrapped them in carbon fiber about 3 layers and 3 layers of clear it looked sweet for a long time my clears are starting to wear off though =[

Hows the fitment at the top.As far as were it meets the window,because the s14 and s13 are curved diffrent.
