im replying!! :D

NO! it wont fit easy
ways to do it:

weld s14 and s13 fenders together
fab up stuff to make it bolt on (headlight, bumper support, hood, etc)

OR
buy the west yokohama conversion fenders (BIG $$$$$) thru importer.


ive yet to see anyone in USA do it, in japan it seems rare as well, you just see s1580 and sil80s

Its not a coupe i meant a fastback sorry. Have an open mind im not big on conversions but the first pic i saw of that conversion took my breath away. It was jet black it didnt have a body kit or anything or a wing it was very clean low key the only thing was that it was low and it had a nice set of Advan wheels. but thats just me low key and clean. thanks for replying

Even on a hatch, the zenki s14 front end would be ugly imho! The only "conversions" that look "ok" to me are Silvia (SilEighty) and S15. The S14 front end doesn't match at all on a hatch.

Now a 180sx front end on a s14 rocks! I found a picture once... wow! :eek:

IMHO the s13 looks way better with a s14 kouiki front end than a sileighty front end. even the s14 zenki style looks better. I will even go as far as saying that the s14 kouiki stlye looks better than the s15 front end on an s13 (fastback), But thats just my opinion. hell even hawnduh's have an s14 front end kit available.:rolleyes:

It's all a question of personnal likings. :)

If you like it, that's the important thing because you will be driving it. :)

do you have a picture with the head lights down? or better yet sleepy eyes! I dont know though the front end looks way to long or something. I would just stick with the kouiki lights on the s14.

It's missing a nice spoiler and those headlights have to go down... I really like the flow on that car.
