Does anybody know where I can see some pictures of this conversion?...The S15 Hood/Fenders/Bumper/Headlights on an S13 hatch/fastback?

Super Street featured a car with that converson a year or so ago. It looks real sharp if you ask me. I might still have the issue. I'll go see if I can find it. Until then go to google and search for s13 s15 conversion.

Thanks for the help - how much do these kits run? Is bomex the only company? Where can I buy the kits? I found a kit on extreme dimensions that included fenders, carbon fiber oem hood, bumper, lights for $2000

Bomex doesn't sell the kit. Bomex sells that bumper. The only kit I would suggest would be the West Yokohama one, but that's mostly because I sell it. It's also because I highly doubt the quality of basically every other company I"ve ever seen make the kit. Enjoy your day!

Quick Q: Would the stock bumber cover from the later S13 240sx's fit after the S15 conversion?

What ever you do. Don't go with the fenders importfan or gtp sells. I made the mistake of buying these. They have a horrible fit and finish. It will take alot of work to make them look half way decent. If i could do it again I would buy west yokohoma.

Dont have a picture of it on a hatchback, but I do have one of a coupe. Looks better IMO:

I think thats kinda high from them(especially since they make replicas). I went to there shop and wasnt too impressed. Talk to black240 on this board ED stole a pic of his car with a authentic bomex kit and used it on there site. I think sometime soon he can get discounts. Dont qoute me on that though.

Just another 240

i doubt it...u could probably get a "kit" but that'd cost much more than fabricating mounts by yourself (which is good if you know what you're doing)

For a bolt on kit, I think it would run around 7k.
