Hey yall, I'm looking for a S15 conversion kit. Or at least knowing how much it is. I live in Mississippi, and would probably be the only one here. I am really wanting to get started on this project, but need to know prices on hood, headlights, fenders and such. Thanks yall in advance!!

i think http://www.enjukuracing.com plus countless other internet stores have s15 conversion kits. i don't know if they offer individual parts though. i know you can get individual s15 headlights at a bunch of places too...

hahaha!!!!!! you think you are the only damn person i ole' miss that wants to do an S15 conv.? you don't think anyone there has done one?!?!?! you must think you're special huh????

well prices right know:

Regular black housing S15 headlights are $600~$700 shipped newSilver S15 Convertible headlights are $620~$750Fiber glass fenders w/o vents $250+Carbon fiber vented 30mm fenders $450+Fiber glass hood w/o vents $300+Carbon fiber hood w/o vents $300+Fiber glass hood w/ vents $350+Carbon Fiber hood w/ vents $400~$1000+Fiber glass bumper $250+Carbon fiber front bumper $500+

then you could get the S15 radiator support for like $250 i think, and if you were really going to do it right you'd get the S15 inner fenders.

Well, I thought the only 240's were in the Jackson area, and there aren't very many. And do they sell a hood and fender thats metal, not fiberglass? And whats an "inner fender"??

me thinks the inner fender is the "interior" part of the fender that prevents mud mud and stuff from splashing up under your outer fender.

When tyou wash your car, do you spray underneath where the wheels are? That, I think is the inner fender.

OoO, ok i know what your talking about. Do I really need that? I really don't want to get fiberglass stuff, just cause I've seen pictures of when the paste they use to lay it doesn't cure all the way and paint will peel from those certain spots. But if its gonna be the only thing, I'm wanting to get it! Thanks for the stuff, its starting to help out!

sure the metal fenders might be cheap but i have seen the factory front go for as much as $700. no you don't need the inner fender.

Umm no... whoever told you you could use the factory S15 fenders lied to you... you have to get S15 conversion fenders to fit on your car.

core support? is that same as radiator support? I need one of those too by the way! Begin the pricing-

S15 Hood (metal)S15 fenders(metal)S15 front bumper (do i need this still)S15 headlights (caught word they're like 500 bucks. . .dun dun duuuun)radiator support, off either s14, or, if i need to use s15, that one!

Thanks guys, this is a defienate big help. I still can't figure how more it would cost to do this conversion. I have to replace one fender and hood with radiator support, thats with s14. Or i can go all out for X amount more money and get S15 conversion. What do ya'll think. Remember, I am a highschool student doing 2 jobs. (5.25 hour and 400 a month on other job)

I believe radiator support is from 250-400?

For the last time, you CANNOT USE S15 FENDERS... you have to use Fiberglass S15 CONVERSION fenders... regular S15 fenders wont match up with the door.

If you do all the work yourself, youre gonna still end up paying around 1600 or so for this conversion.
