s14 front on a vert?

[yijima]

i have a friend with a zekai s14 who wants the Kouki, whenever she finds it i'll end up gettin the zenkai front. would it look good on my vert, and what complication may arise when assembling the new front? i already see the fenders where the door opening and closes go and the light going from popups to flat. any info would be awesome thanks.

IMO it would not look good, the Zenki front just doesn't look right on a Vert/Coupe, maybe on a hatch, but that's a stretch. The kouki front on a Vert/Coupe can work. Either will require a good amount of work/modding to fit and look ok.

s14 kouki front much better on the vert - been done & looks sexy.

s14 zenki front... well, there's a reason ppl go from zenki -> kouki front, haha.

If you don't want to do too much custom work, you can use s14 kouki conversion fenders & corner lights - they should still work w/ the rest of the zenki front, iirc. Will look a lil weird, but again, ur putting an s14 zenki front on a vert... shouldn't matter much.

well its basically peoples taste if it looks good or not? i guess cinsidering i got some frontal damage on my vert and i'm getting the s14 front for free it'd be an improvement, but there really arent and molding or assembly problems that may come up? OR what could i get for 300 dollars. i basically need a who new front clip anyway for my vert.

What you are getting for "free" is going to end up costing you at the very least $300-400 more. You are free to do whatever you want. I personally wouldn't even if I got the front end & your car for free... but that's just me.

If you want specifics, just look up the s13.4 conversions on this site, other sites, google, etc to see what is involved.

Everything from the s14 will fit except the fenders.- You can get a shop to weld the rear of the s13 fender w/ the front of the s14 fender (someone actually had this done a while back, was $$$$)- Or you can buy s13.4 fenders, the s14a kouki kind - $200-300 - from here you need s14a kouki corner lights - ? something like $40-60 maybe...- The hood hinges may need some modding.- Fitting will take some time if you want it to look right - labor.

After all this, you will want to paint it - at the very minimal the fenders if you were lucky enough to get the same color s14 front as your vert.
