Like the title says I went from silvia/chargespeed to two tone pignose and stock rear bumper. i purchased the car from a guy two years ago and i finally got all the bugs fixed so i decided it was time to make it mine. I sold the front end and the full chargespeed kit for $1,200 and purchased the two tone front for $300 Let me know what ya guys think.....

I think the pignose looks dope but there are a few thing i would have kept on the car like the tails. Interior looks 1000000x better though.

Looks like you got the, "I'm bored and don't know what else to do with my car" syndrome.

Pignose (pop-ups) look better on a fastback anyway, I'm not a big fan of Sil-80's. Props on transforming her into something way sexier than you got her. I hated the way it looked before.

Awesome! looks way better in my opinion. I'm glad you got the lip with it also, the lip completes it. Pignose with lip > *. I love the pignose, good you didn't go with the chuki...

I never understood sil80's don't really care for them...I love a clean piggy w/ lip on a hatch....looking to get rid of the one on my coupe doesn't appeal to me as much..

Is it just me or does 300 for a pignose front sound pricey as hell? And you won't be saying that when I go chuki! o_0

i guess 300 sounds a bit steep, but it was the hood fenders bumper, etc.

plus the panels and paint look perfect.

NO CHUKI! RESIST, RESIST!!
