the blue one has been around for a few years, I guess if you have the time and the tallent it's different? I guess I've just not found myself so unhappy with the appearance of my car that I wanted to mate other cars' metel to it

its not a direct bolt in (at least i dont think). its actually a custom kit similar to that of the s15 conversion, you'd have to either buy the conversion in japan, or if you know a custom body body shop guy, i guess you can have the guy/ gal do a custom (molding?) one for you.

with enough cutting welding and bondo'ing anything lines up, the headlamp buckets look like the only part that wasn't modified to fit, but thats because all the parts around them are modified to fit to them

I personally love the Z front on the s13.

I had a dream about a RB powered black s13 hatch w/ Z front end and some gold/bronze wheels.

One of your signature pictures requires a login to mindmagma. You should host it yourself somewhere that doesn't require a login.
