what kills me is how wrong these conversions are!!!

Touge drifter and Trbomofo, at least the hood and fenders line up, and no bumper sag.

Every other conversion either the bumper sags, or the hood looks like crap against the fenders. Put some effort into it to make it look good, it goes a long way.

When you buy some punch-out kits, slap a hood and glue some lights on your car, it looks like a Kinder Surprise...a very expensive not put together properly kinder toy.

i agree partly, but i think some of the other conversions are done nicely without gaps or sagging

for sure, some are done correctly, most are not done well at all..its like if your going to spend all that cash and stuff to change the front of your car, at least make sure everything is lined up and no massive gaps....

FTL at doing it half a$$ed

I am wondering, if anyone can post pix up of the C-West GT kit. It's like the N-1 kit but i think its a bit wider judging by the pix on cwest usa's site...

I love the Cwest N-1 and GT front bumper... definetely going on my s13 hatch with a widebody :D

when yall do these, do you actually put a real bumper on there, or do most people just hook the bumper cover up onto the radiator support, oh and s13 people how have yall handled the tension rod problems. Is there anyway of doing it without mangling either the s13 radiator support or the tension rods, questions aside though, I really like these and I give a big thumbs up to those who have done it

For my S13 I use a S15 radiator core. And by no means did the tension rod brackets line up with the radiator core. So I got a set of S14 tension rod brackets, but they did not fit the mounting area of the S13. So I measure and cut one S13 and 1 S14 one in half, got the length and angle right and had it welded. Then I had the other one done.

I use a Silvia S13 bumper core trimmed down a lot.
