just to get it straight, im only interested in the front end. i dont really care if its a s13.4. the thing that catches my attention is the hood/headlights
some ppl have said that it is just eyelids welded onto a stock zenki hood. would it be that they welded the eyelids to the hood and made it stick out a bit so it would COVER the original headlights and the hood would just fall into place and be covering the headlights to make it look like that? if so, ive seen many pictures and the zenki eyelids are either a straight cut or diagonal.
this one seems to be a lil curved in the middle. it curves out and not a straight line. whats the deal with this?
sorry if this has been discussed 10000x.
thanks for all the input

To me, it looks like a kouki hood, kouki headlights, Zenki corner lamps, zenki fenders, and zenki bumper.
But tahts just mee.

i thought they were kouki headlights as well but they are not. kouki headlights look a bit different (the inside since they are projectors). you would be able to see at least 1 or 2 circles within the headlight itself. im almost 100% those are zenki headlights from that picture angle.
it is also not a kouki hood because they have 1 line on each side that goes right down the hood. they look like creases in the kouki hood and this one you do not see anything.
so im pretty sure its zenki headlights with zenki hood. maybe customed but the original they were zenki for sure.

sorry i didn't know that. by any chance do you know or anyone know what his name on zilvia is? im very interested in how he did it. very unique imo and looks great!
the flow matches perfectly and looks better than the kouki headlights imo.

Here you go. Took about 5 seconds to search using "S13.4".

I did something similiar on my old car, just welded two pieces of sheetmetal to the hood and trimmed it flat, just like as shown. Looked pretty good until the hood flew up at 90MPH.
Kouki headlights and hood are in my sig for comparison. The blue one looks to have zenkis.

wow A+ for being original.
im guessing the eyelids you got are the diagonal ones. ive seen one that just goes straight across the headlight and goes onto the corner lights too.
from the pictures u posted, it also looks like it sticks out a bit which makes sense, but is it really noticeable in person?
oh and can u take a picture of the middle front of the hood where the grill is supposed to be. im guessing the sides would stick out since u overlapped the headlights, but how about the area where hte grill is? im guessing that was untouched but wouldnt it looks weird that the sides are stickin out then the middle goes back inward?

bik- That's exactly how I did mine. People always asked the same dumbass questions that you probably get too, I'm kind of glad the hood got trashed.
yeah i get asked a lot, the most anoying here is cause people keep asking me for my silvia... but i dont own a silva O_o
here is my car on a TV show i used to do for cable ^_^
