Single piece front ends are a dime a dozen for hondas and domestics.
But I've never seen a one-piece front end (hood, fenders, and bumper) on a 240.
Does any one sell them? Would it fit between models? S14 on a 13 or 15, and vice versa?

Indeed.

And if your S14 required a one piece fg front end (for drag race i assume) then custom would be the way to go.

yup. there are the indiviual parts out there, but would needed to be fabbed together, then jsut make a overlay where the headlights and such would be.

I think he wants it for drag racing...

The stuff you're talking about is not exactly right. It's much heavier than what he needs.

No they custom made fenders/hood...headlights connect to that contraption...i opens backwards and the windshield comes up to allow access to the motor

the bumper is just Vertex

Yep, look into some the GT3-class SCCA S14s, see if you can track down who made their front ends....

I have a 98. I know there are a million bumpers, fenders, and hoods available from the aftermarket. But in terms of weight they can't compare to a hand laid one piece. The price of most for other cars is only $600-800. Yes I could do it myself, could even do a bagged CF, foam core if I wanted. But I'd much rather pay $800 bucks! Then spending a month(s) making molds, waiting for the molds to cure, and pulling parts. And since when is there no demand for weight reduction on our cars!!?

Raise your hand if you'd like to replace your ENTIRE front end if you smack a wall at the track? Fender bender in traffic? etc. etc. etc.

Now who would rather replace individual bumpers, fenders, hood?

There is your demand.

well, you arent going to pay 800 dollars so forget that right now. if you get a 300 dollar hood, 300 dollar fenders, 300 dollar bumper, and make your own headlights, thats about as cheap as its gonna get. cut out all the back skeleton stuff from the hood and fenders and dump a bunch of kitty hair in the seams and sand it with some 150 grit DA pads. not hard, but, deffinitley crappy.

these are the ehadlight things

you arent going to find any gt3 body panels

you should probably give up on this idea before you ruin any existing body panels, its an extremely bad idea

Viceroy, your web page is the shit!

& LB Motoring, that is exactly what I'm talking about! And no that shit isn't custom. But the mounting is.

240s are taking over the world, I don't see why hondas and domestics should get to have all the fun parts!

Nope, go to an SCCA SOLO event and ask one of the guys running it where they got it, and if they made it, how much they'd charge. You know the mold still exists if they are actively racing...
