I have a chance to get a 95 s14 front for my s13. From the pictures Ive seen they dont look bad but they could look alot better. Would anyone else do it? Heres a couple pictures I found but nothing to convincing.

Nay. The lines don't flow and for some reason it looks like a wagon.

I think it makes a good looking car look boring. Not that s14's look boring but the s14 front looks best following the lines of the whole s14 shell.

The S13 hatch looks pretty good with the Kouki S14 front end, as long as the car has wide body fenders on the rear. Just my opinion though.

Dont do it.

The way I see this is taking to two worst parts from two different models of the same car. The Zenki S14 front isn't too good looking... in its stock form anyways, and the hatch S13's aren't exactly my favorite either. The panels don't even line up.

The piggy looks way better.

Fixed that for you.

240sx's are pretty boring cars stock looking, especially with oem wheels.

That front end swap is NOT an upgrade of any sort.
It's ugly.
