To silvia front end or not to silvia front end

[RedRum240]

ok I got a 93 coupe. my original plan was to buy a body kit and s13 silvia front end conversion. but im debating on do it or not. see if I got the conversion for 700$ I would buy this kit for 700$ then buy a silver paint job. like the picture shows.



I really dont know what to do tho. is the silvia s13 front end conversion really worth it? I could get my car to look exactly like that picture but with 5zigen wheels for 3,000$ about.

Realyl stuck on what to do.....

CAN ANYONE PLEASE help me find pictures of some cool s13 COUPES ONLY with body kits? and NO silvia conversion. just s13's w/ flip up lights and body kits. if possible. thanks.

Well its up to you. I was going to put a silvia conversion on my hatch but decided against it. I'm going to pick a coupe up local and do the conversion. If you are going to go through the trouble of painting it and getting a kit I would do the conversion.

so you plan on spending around $1,500-$2,000? if it were me, i would call around and just buy a silvia front clip, if one was available. that way, you'd get the SR AND silvia style fronts. the body kit could wait.

if one wasn't available, i would still just get an SR installed. i guess i'm more about the performance..that's just me though.

BUT, it seems you're going for that sexy look, and if you're planning on getting a paint job and body kit...best to convert the front and kill two birds with one stone at paint time.

No offense to anyone whos into the silvia front end, if you like it more power to you, but I personally don’t like it, looks kinda boring. IMO its just Too straight, those lights look ugly, and in its stock form it really has nothing going for it. In all honesties I think if Nissan had made the US spec 240sx with those lights and the silvia with the pop ups most ppl would be looking for JDM pop ups lol. its all about the “JDM”, OMG ITS JDM I HAVE TO HAVE IT! wtf, just cause its JDM doesn’t mean its good btw. Id keep my pop ups and opt for a body kit like this one, that looks tight. Id also like to see bomex’s body kit on a coupe.

car looks awesome with just wheels lol... btw

if I had no choice but to get rid of my lights id probably find away of putting the 98 s14 lights on my s13 coupe. granted yes its the same concept as the silvia front end but these lights look alot better, that car just looks angry, btw someone already tried it on a fastback, looks good, but would probably look better on a coupe.

Pop-ups and sleepy eyes.mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[comablack783]

this is bomex's s13.. looks awesome, I've never seen this on a coupe though, everything in thoery should work on a coupe..

What body kit is on the white coupe? That car is sweet, real clean lookin.

[cryO]

the white car has a version:select kit i believe.IMO coupes look better with silvia lights and hatches look better with the pop ups.

[AZhitman]

Which kit is that on the white coupe above?

I think this would look KILLER on my 'vert...

[quiksilvia]

if u have a s13 coupe then do the silvia conversion with the non projector lights, that is the hottest, hatches should not have silvia fronts, ugly in my opionion.

[accel junky]

Silvia front end on coupe equals awesome.

[lofapoo]

The white coupe indeed has a Version Select body kit, it's STUPID HOT! I had it as my background for a while.

[RedRum240]

AZHITMAN that body kit on the coupe the one with flip up lights is from race on usa.com its a version select kit but raceonusa makes the same 4 piece kit for 749.99
