ZENKI front s13 hatch!... thoughts?

[Fbomb19]

Well, long story short. I have a s13 hatch. Been trying to chase the type x front and what not ,but back order sucks. not 2 long agoo i saw this zenki front hatch and it looked BOSS. Most people dont like it. Idk why... I think it looks beautiful. What worry's me is fitment. Only reason i havnt tried to put one on is because i dont know what exactly needs to be done. This one hatch that i saw looked MINT. It looked amazing. IMO fit like it was meant to be there. And i think i can pull it off. But i dont know what it takes or what exactly you have to do to the fenders and hood. Maby you guys might know some good info. Or this guy ( owner of the car in the pic) . Help me out. Hope he doesn't mind that im posting it on here.

Looks like a DSM.

I don't know why people wanna try to get rid of the flip-ups. IMO the flips ups are the best looking front end of any S-chassis, followed closely by s13 silvia front.

Silvia front on hatches arnt my thing. Flip up lights are nice. Im not complaining. Im half way almost a type x. Need bumper lights and side bumper panels. But I really think this zenki front look freaking amazing!... And its hella original. Looks great to me.

I agree ^^^^ However silvia fronts look best on coupes better than flip ups imo
However if your going to do a s14 front
Zenki on hatch
Kouki on on coupe
Done any other way i think they are ugly,koukis are way boxy for hatchs and vice versa as too zenkis on coupes

also stating the obvious here you need the hood,bumper headlights (not sure if you need the brackets or whole core support or honestly how they mount the headlights) Two sets of fenders one s13 set and one s14 set, (cut the fenders in half and weld them together) the hood brackets for an s14 (use these to mount the hood) and some mad welding skills...we were going to do this to one of my old hatches and do flip ups on a s14 but i sold my s14 killing that idea

Possibly the worst conversion you can do on a S13. And thats saying ALOT.

kouki yes

zenki no!

S14's are almost 2 inches wider than 13's.

To make it look decent you would need a 20mm wide body kit from the fenders back. (s14 is 4cm wider, add 2cm to each side and you could make it flow right.

welding involved??? nevermind then. I thought it was something i can do myself. And @ everyone that doesnt like it. I dont really care. I think it looks great and thats all that matters. But looks like ima just type x....

I know I'm in the minority here, but I don't like the Odyssey conversion either. The headlights are sexy, but they're too far apart on the S13, so the front fenders are widened to the point of absolutely fugliness to accomodate them. DO NOT LIKE.

odyssey front is my favorite s13 conversion
followed by kouki
followed by nsx
