Alright guys...im torn, literally i can't make up my mind
what do you guys think look best on a vert? i see a silvia front and it looks awesome, then i'll look at a r32 front and it looks just as nice, and im not sure which direction to go.

so what do you think guys? if i where to go with the r32 front..it'd end up becoming a complete conversion eventually

whatya guys think?

heres a shot of my car as it sits now...

if you do wide front fenders and quarters, the R32 front looks great. if you aren't doing wide fenders and quarters, the R32 front doesn't look anywhere near as good.

YUP. The r32 front looks like poopies if its not done right. If you do the r32 front, you're going to need wide rear fenders, preferably Origin Type II for the s13 coupe. Then you're going to need good wheel fitment. If you're on a budget, put a chuki bumper on there, looks better than a sil-front any day ;)

But yea, if you must and youre not really rollin in cash, Silvia front.

I think you should be focusing on other things than the front end right now. Yours isn't damaged.

If anything the next thing you should do is wheels. And the pignose really only looks good imo if your car is slammed.

But to answer your question do the silvia front, r32 is to hard to pull of, unless you get a r32 front clip for the motor and it has good body panels I wouldnt try.

Not to jack someones thread, but I personally love the skyline fronts. I see lots of hack jobs and i've seen some a couple good looking conversions. Is the best option to just order OEM parts from japan for the car?

I used to really not be a fan, but with the deal arising I'll be going r32 front on my vert. If I wasn't I would keep it pignose. Silvia is too played out, you almost see them more than any other front.
