I dont understand how you can think the s14a looks ricey at all. Although i guess likewise after one buys a Z31 the Z32 starts to look really rice too :D

a few companies such as ings sell eyelids for the 95-96 head lights. They look pretty sweet. Take a look:

hahahahes already got two, he doesnt need any more!

For the S14a look, I would think you need entire body from the doors/winshield forward- hood, fenders, lights, headlight brackets?, grill, bumper, etc

When the S14a came out, I thought they totally RUINED it. . I hated the design. . thought it was an ugly son of a *****.

But I began to really like them, and wound up buying one lol

But I can't say I like it MORE than the 95-96. . it's basically two entirely different cars from the front. . I get a LOT of looks in my 97 tho, especially at night. . nobody seems to know what it is lol

well I used some stuff from GTP but ended up with a spare set of fenders that I'm trying to unload... I can get headlights for cheaper my friend works at a nissan dealer... same goes with radiator core support

if you're serious let me know

basically the cost it costed me for the S14a conversion from the S14 was really close to the S15 conversion

S14a parts are hard to come by and expensive...

i painted eyelids on my lights for 7bucks and i love how they look. and bought the clear corners for 30. at night the lights look exactly like the 97-98's. and i agree, the 95-96 front end grows on you after a while, i love mine.

I agree the S14 and S14a are just 2 totally different looks. I like the 97-98 a lot, but the 95-96 look more like Nissans to me. There is some family resemblance between the 95-96 and the Skyline (R33). But the S14a on its own.

I think I know the answer to this. . but are Euro 200sx corners for kouki S14s made of glass as well? I've never thought of it b4. . I assume they're plastic. .

I've never heard of any glass corners, but why do you need them anyway? I've never seen the S14 corners get yellow at all, must be a different type of plastic or something, because mine are nice and clear and look horrible against my yellow headlights. Or should I say, my yellow headlights look horrible next to my nice clear corners :pface
