So a while ago i posted a topic asking what color to paint my car, so I ended up painting it Magnetic black with pearls. Here's the pix of how it looked!



But last weekend my friend crashed my car into a ditch on the freeway.. here are the pix of the scene of the accident.



Closer pix of the damages..So my main reason for this topic is, should I do a S14 koukie conversion? or an S15 conversion? Also I was wondering if any of the conversions a plug and play bolt on? or will there be some customizing or parts usually not included in the conversion kit?

No conversion is bolt in and you're done. They all require some form of fabbing weither it be welding a new rad support in or what not. I would say take your skirts to a local body guy who works with fiberglass and have it repaired. Spend your money on sweet upgrades. If you absolutely have to do a conversion I would do something other than silvia or kouki their too popular...go for onevia or something.

Leave it Zenki but if you must convert go Kouki. S-15 front doesn't look that great on a S-14.

Zenki = Classy

Keep the Zenki, it'll be cheaper, and will still look nice.

im guessing that having a car -- s14 would be a good idea since thats what i gather his conversion is for -- would be a prerequisite here.

I say leave it zenki but if you set on a conversion go s15. You got to make sure everything will "flow good". As in go with the side skirts and rear. So maybe kouki would be a better option for you.

Agreed, never let anyone else drive your car, no matter what. That is a recipe for disaster.

wurd b/c then i would have to commit murder on one of my friends. and that wont be pretty b/c ill prolly use his car and run over him then wreck it.

i never let anyone drive my car... only my dad did once.. and one of my friends did too, but i was next to him so i told him wat to do and wat not to do... but ill never let a friend drive it without me being on my passenger seat!

Go with the S15, even though it may be a little overdone it's still a stunning picture once it's done. A lot sharper than the s14 if you ask me.BUT... If you WERE asking me... I'd do some pop ups! HaahaaaaaPop ups FTW!

indeed, pop ups look awesome on 14s.but.. id rather go with just zenki or kouki..

popups and s15 would be a bit of custom work.. and i hate bodywork, but thats just me.

btw.. you should NEVER let other people drive your car.my dad always takes my car out instead of his truck and EVERYTIME he comes back with the car, something is wrong with it.just a friendly caution for you.. dont let anyone drive your car!

lol.. thats why you decide to be like me and plan on custom fabbing a kill switch that no-one else knows about

btw op... pop ups would look sik.. if you do it right, and it would be fairly original for the US (or at least my region)

well Im goin to try to get the same sideskirts and decided to do a S15 conversion, becuase I couldn't find a kouki in the market. Plus its more worth the money since im gettin 2800 to fix my car. Also up here in washington i've never seen once a S14 with S15 conversion yet in the streets so it'd be unique up here. By the way I hope a drift style bumper will "flow" well with the same side skirts.. otherwise I would have to buy a different kit.
