s15 headlights, are they that expensive?

[AznRide]

I did some reaserch and they all over 900 bucks..actually, the lowest price i found was 899.99. This is insane. Anyways, there are 2 on ebay for cheap. I don't know if I should trust ebay...I will spend up to 500 bucks for the s15 silvia headlights if anyone knows where to get or have them. Thanks. Sorry, I tried to do a search and didn't get the results that I wanted. I wish I have a friend in Japan.

What are you going to do with just the headlights? Don't you need the fenders and hood and bumper before you can do anything.

[Lsnaple]

sorry ive only seem that that expensive too. i would only trust ebay if the seller has a good rating.

[Daunttless]

900+ dollars is standard.

[AznRide]

all i need is the headlights. I can just customize my own bumper, hood and fender shapes to fit the s15. It's not that hard.

[AznRide]

sorry for my stupidity, but when i look at the s15 headlights on a 89-93 240...the hood seem different. It seems like the s15 hood, not flat and straight like the s13. Anyways, if i would get aftermarket hood, bumber, can i shave it so it would fit the s15 lights? I will be using my stock fenders if it's possible. If not, what is the difference between s13 stock fenders, hood, and bumber for the s15 conversion since you need new stuff...minus the part that it won't fit the s15 (duh).

Just seems to me like the overall appearance of the S15's front end is much more round and smooth to the S13's relatively boxy front end, I would imagine it wouldn't be an easy task to duplicate the S15 look with the modified S13 fenders, hood, and bumber. I would check out http://www.autoimaging.com for some of the conversion components.

i know that shop. I live by it, too expensive. I have to ask my friends to hook me up...hehe

yeah bro your going to need the bonnet, front bumper, side fendrs, wrinkle kit, and headlight harness which, ifi order from takakaira.com, will run you $1,524 if the person knows what they are doing...oy yeah did i mention the installation cost?...this is why i didn't do it for the money i'll go for performance

if you plan on spending only 500 bux on the s15 headlights, i guarantee you you won't find them...unless they're cracked. then they might be 500 ~Scott

the cheapest i've ever seen them was 700. option's website

are you sure about that...http://www.optauto.com/webstor...t=486

[SRdS14]

damn...maybe not there then. i swear i've seen it though. damn. my bad. i stand corrected

~Scott

damn u

[AznRide]

why do you need new bumbers, hood and fenders???? Can't you use the OEM ones and just shave it off yourself and save a couple thousand bucks?

[SilviaLuvr]

yeah i suppose i thought you were talking about the 180s with teh s14 you can but if you are going for quality i'll go with the full kit

[wingzero]

not to be an *** or anything, but for the price your putting into doing a complete S15 front end conversion, you could almost have enough to drop an SR20 into your 240 man. Just seems like a lot of money, that's all. IMO, the 240's front end is really sweet as-is.

[Daunttless]

Also, in regards to the "shaving," not really AZN, the lines don't match up properly.

[SilviaLuvr]

i agree wingzero like i said for the money i'll go wit performance...i really like the 97/98 front ends there nasty as hell...when i was in philly wit some friends we seen a 97/98 sx wit the "skyline" bodykit (i think) advan racing version 2 rims he had graphics (hmmm...ok thats -2) and he didn't have a sr no he didn't have a turbo b/c i seen no cooler but still a sweat a$$ car

yeah man correctly if im wrong but wouldn'tit cost more to have all that done costum b/c they'll have to supply thier own parts and also if the they mess up which will become a higher % b/c of the costum parts

yeah, tru that brotha. I got a set of advans too though. I'm kind of ashamed I don't have an SR yet though, maybe if dauntt felt like hooking me up . Its kinda sad when you paid more for your rims than your car:( .

hey we live and learn you know

[SilviaLuvr]

but advans are well worth cutting of a left testical for

[AznRide]

daunt...what lines don't match up? If i just get the full bodykit, can't I just cut them to make it fit the siliva headlights (s15)? The kit that came with S15 ready, it's just like they precutted it right? Either way, someone has to shave it right? Anyways, I was refering to the 89-94 240sx with s15 front. But I wish I can afford a 95 up 240.

[Daunttless]

Well, the hood lines don't match up, the mounting points on the bumper are different, the fenders won't line up with the new bumper, the fenders don't line up with the headlights, hmm, I think thats about it.

the hood lines don't match what up? I don't get it. Are you refering as the bumers...etc don't line up with the S15? I know that...all you do is shave it off right? to make it fit...jsut like how they customize body parts...

[Daunttless]

The S13 hood has cuts in it for the popup lights, the slope of the hood and the cuts in the hood do not line up with S15 headlights.

[AznRide]

that's why BONDO come in place.....

(sorry to have to flame ya) but are you high are just that stuipd ok theres no way in hell someone is going to fabricate the s15 headlights to the fenders second off if they were trying to accomoplish such a task they would need the exact measurements from one headlight to the next there are no preset measurments since the 89-94's are pop up and the s15' s are not teh s15 are also bigger then the 89-94 pop-ups in all you'll most likely end up paying more on costum work then the actual kit

[Daunttless]

You can't bondo empty space, you're going to need to do some welding, and the fenders don't flare enough, theres a reason theres conversion fenders and that they bulge a bit.

[SilviaLuvr]

yeah thats right if you just weld the hood and go from the stock fenders the lights will be to close together and they'll look really really dumb...this is why big ballers go for this kind of conversion

[SilviaLuvr]

since you have the rps, just go with the jdm sleepy eye conversions there alot cheaper (money wise not quality wise)
