Can you let me know why, to big, holes wrong, or some thing; or is it just no?

it takes alot of custom fabrication and imo i dont think it would be worth it cause it isnt a skyline but its your car and do what you want with it, but this mod wont be easy and at that if your not too skilled or experience with custom fabrication then it wont turn out clean. to each their own though.

Anything is attainable with enough $$. Get measurements for the tail light assembly and the rear of the car. If it's not a huge difference, go for it and then get some widebody rear fenders to make up the difference. I plan on going with kouki tails on my s13 hatch so don't be discouraged to try it out.

Ur looking at least $1500 up to $4000 for a good body shop to do it for you.

Be sure to shop around more though to get a more competitive price. What I might do if I were you is wait until I get all of the exterior body enhancements and get everything done @ once.

It's doable, and actually looks quite nice when done properly... at least in my opinion. You need the trunk, rear bumper/sill, etc. Then you need to get a shop to mold everything in for you (unless you are an expert fabricator yourself).

Unless you have the hookups or know very good shops and willing to spend the cash, your money is probably better spent elsewhere.

I've seen 1 full conversion (entire front & rear end) on an s13 coupe, and it was clean... don't think the front end looked that great, the rear was a real head turner.

I don't think I've seen this before, or maybe I have and didn't realize the difference. Do you have any pics of this, I'm curious to see it.

I haven't seen these online lights either. But a general rule for these kinds of far out questions, is that anything is attainable with enough money and time, just the practicality isn't all there.

If you don't got an RB under the hood then don't waste your time.

used to have a pic somewhere but imagine kouki's, but instead of being hour glass shaped turn signals on the tail lights, they're rectangular for the most part.

nah those are regular ol' kouki's. The onelines look similar to the koukis but without the part that pops out for the brake lights and instead of the ) ( shaped turn signals, it's shaped like a rectangle.
