looks like you don't have silvia headlight brackets.

As it's already been said I don't see any headlight brackets (http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=107085)

Do you have the silvia bumper support as well?

good plug lol?^^

i dont have the headlight brackets or the bumper support. know where i can get those?

it might be hard to find just head light brackets and espeically JUST a bumper support.

Theres actually some company that makes custom headlight brackets that are lighter tha nthe OEM ones. Try searching, you may find something. As far as bumper support, my recomendation would be try to buy an OEM Silvia bumper WITH a support. Most places will not part out just the support. You'll have two bumpers but atleast you'll have a support. Perhaps you can use the OEM bumper as a track only bumper or something?

i bet you could use your 240sx support you just have to cut or use a air chisel gun to get those nubs off and drill some holes to make the bumper fit.

i could prolly make some out of aluminum to make some brackets. i NEED to use this bumper because it wraps around my front fenders and its all from the same company. thanx alot for your advice tho. ill see what i can do.

thats what i was thinking the other night, but i wanted to check on here first and see what u guys thought. the bottom of the bumper fits great and the sides as well. its just the top section that needs to be changed.

It will wrap around the stock ones as well. I just purchased a similar bumper style a few weeks ago (hasn't come yet... still waiting). It dosnt matter if they are wide fenders or not. It only only wide up at the top. Down towards where the bumper wraps around it is same dimension as OEM fenders.

Thats a link to the bumper i bought. They wrap around fenders like yours.

ok i gotcha. i think if the only issue is the top getting mounted i can fab something up. as far as the grill goes, i think im just going to section that area and make a new mount. i went through allot to get these parts LOL thanx for your help :) and good luck with your bumper as well.

I just thought it was good timing, I was going through my daily "New Posts" (http://www.zilvia.net/f/search.php?do=getnew) and saw the headlight brackets and then a few posts later I saw this one and figured why not try to bring the person with the need together with the person supplying lol.
