what is a fair price to pay for a s15 front end conversion? cause the shop's around where i live are charging like 2000 bucks!! is that average cause the s13 front is only 1000. thats a big diffference compared to 2000! also when you buy conversions do they paint the parts you buy to match your car color? like the fenders,hood,bumper? or is that extra?:help

And no, no shop that I've ever heard of paints the parts before you ever recieve it. Thats like me asking a shop to go ahead and paint my S15 front end the same color of my car, and it just so happens my car has the rare gunmetal cobalt power puff pink of death red and chameleon pringles, and it just so happens my gunmetal cobalt power puff pink of death red and chameleon pringles paint job costed me 14k. So like they really couldnt paint it.

Get the conversion. Put it on. Take it to paint shop. Have them color match the color of your car, or just go ahead and paint it a whole new color. Gunmetal cobalt power puff pink of death red and chameleon pringles is a nice color.

ya raceonusa has it but im not sure if they are trust worthy on quality yet.

hmm... i wonder if you need the core support from an s14 if you want to do the s13.5 conversion?

you can get the s14 and then cut holes for the lights or you can just use the S15 core suport that already has the holes for the lights. They are on ebay every so often. Thats where I got mine.

crap, i read this at jspec .com and they said "ALL s13/s14 chasis will require rewiring of lights(any stereo shop can do) and due to lack of bumper support it's for OFF ROAD USE ONLY." is this true. if so can i get introble for driving it on the road and will they make my take it off or should i just get it and not worry about it? it's the s15 front end conversion by the way. how can they tell it's illegal for the street's? is any conversion illegal?

Oh and race on has the exact same stuff as importfan and underground. This is because raceon and undground are both supliers for importfan. So the quiality will all be the same.

The only way to tell if it has no bumper suport is to take the bumper off. It is not visable without removing the bumper. So dont worrie about it just like the many that already dont. But you engine will be in more danger in front end collisions but that speaks for its self.
