What's everyone option about sil80 on hatch? does it look good or bad? and is it waste of time doing a conversion for that?

I think its hot, however I have a soft spot for unmolested 240 hatches. I was into the 180 type x look for a while too.

S13 Silvia front end looks better on the Coupe where it belongs, not as nice on the Fastback. S15 Silvia front end looks better on the Fastback than the Coupe, but not as good as on an actual S15. S14 Kouki front end looks good on Yuri's Coupe ONLY.

Do what you want, it's your car. Just don't get mad if you make it look like ass and people make fun of you for it.

if it looks good to you then do it..if not don't do it. It is as simple as that. DO what you want on your car.

Most Sil-Eighty conversions look like shit. Mostly because of wrong aero choices. Go with the right aero (oem or aftermarket) to make it look nice.

Jay is awesome. Took good care of me with my OEM Aero. :bow:

If they don't have what you want listed on their site, shoot them an email. They get new containers all the time and might be able to track down what you are looking for.

What you think looks good might not be the same as someone else. Again, it's YOUR car, who cares what other people think?

I think sil80's are fucking ugly, with an exception of a few. but then again. Thats my own opinion. Who gives a shit.

Do what you want. and be happy with it.

I suggest saving your money and doing a s15 conversion. My opinion it looks better, but will cost you more than having the sileigthy look

s15 is nasty on anything but an s15

pop ups and aero ftw

Thanks R240NA your cool.

Thanks S14Josh it's fucking ugly I will do it. :-/ I will try to make it look good as possiable.

Thanks swift_style , but iono...if I wanna wait...

Thanks koukimonster139 I was thinking 180sx or sil80 or s15 like I said , but it all comes down to what budget I have :)

I forgot one thing can I do R32 front end on a 91 hatchback?

s13.5 is HOT. and a sil80 with orgin kit would be pretty sweet.

IMO: s13.5> stock>sil80. but there is some cars that are just plain awsome. In the end its up to you. I would love to do a s15 front end, but i already painted my engine bay and everything up front and dont want to do it all again.

Yes, you can do an R32 front end. They make conversion fenders somewhere, too.

I don't think the Silvia front end matches the hatch, it looks wayyy better on a coupe. I like 15-80s, they're pretty cool looking, and look better than an S15 front on a coupe.

There aren't too many R32 front ends on S13s out there, but I think that would be cool to do. I want to do one someday. Actually, I have an R32 front end for sale if you want it. I don't have the corners, though. I'd keep it, but I need the money.

But yeah, do what you think looks best.

I hope the rest of your car is finished for you to be worrying about a front end.

if you're asking for opinions, probably easier if you post up a poll...

my vote is nay since i only like it on coupe

personal preference

Gah. That will only create another waste of a thread.

In reality, only he can make the decision of what he likes.

All zilvia can do is sway that decision.

Because if it was me, I'd first make sure the car was running properly, then went into looks.

IMO, the whole, "sileighty" thing was cool many years ago. Now it's old and played out. I mean, I saw a stock fb with a silvia front at a random gas station a few years ago for sale...

Now that my taste has changed, I dislike the silvia front a majority of the time. Just updating the front to kouki makes the car look so much cleaner.

In the end, it's your money/decision. Don't clutter zilvia because you have no idea of self style.

lol this thread. why dont you do what you want?

or do what all the other sil-80 owners do around here, spend just enough money to buy the front end and never paint it, let your chassis look like shiet, and dont by all means use the money you would have on the silvia front improve anything that would increase reliabilty daily driving, preformance, safety, etc.

I like popups. Just me.
I used to really like sil80s...idk.
I hate the strawberry front though. Nothing but the chassis it came off of...f a 13.5/14.5...

Anyways.

Seriously.
Let the car reflect YOU...not your neighbors.

god i hated my car with the silvia front, flip ups with the lights mounted up is where its at. I'm not a real fan of the sleepy eyes because most stock 240s around my area rock em.

representing Hawaii. you should see his S14 he was driving this past weekend at the local drift session. btw about the sil80 conversion, just do whatever you feel like doing. but i vote for keeping it flip-up style. type-x theme is always nice.

Joey, word of advice; your gonna get jacked when they see the r32 front end. keep the pop ups forever(b/c i am going s13 front end) maybe with the jp usa poly bodykit :naughty:
