hot or not?

[Insomnyaq]

180SX based car with an s15 conversion front.. nasty? sick? what are some opinions? Saw it messing around online (sorry I am as you know new to the 240 world) and kinda liked it, thought it looked strange tho..

[Brian]

depends who does it. most people are stupid and makes it look ugly.
i have seen maybe 1 or 2 of these vehicles that i actually like.

[jdm-drift]

i personally like it, the signal cars are awesome! but it shouldnt matter if you like it then do it.

[Bbandit]

honestly...not really :(

[BadMoJo]

mostly ugly

[nightwalker]

nice, but only if you widen the rear of the car. A fastback with the S15 front looks like a weird teardrop because the rear looks narrower. The Signal cars have wide over fenders, which is part of the reason why they look so hot.

[DRFT]

looks alll ite! most people dont even know how to make it look good...
but this is my favorite on a coupe..RIP DARKNIGHT

hey, I remember reading about that guy's build up a long time ago. I was jealous of all the nice stuff he had on that car. What exactly happened to it???

[nismo skyline]

the owner passed on, dont know what happened to the car though. RIP darknight

this is not true. there are several ichigo conversions out there that are not widebody in the rear and they do not look weird or teardrop like. The signal cars originally did not have wide over fenders in the rear and they looked hot.

[soulDistortion]

most s13's with s15 fronts are ugly as hell, because they're either using the crappy "drift-style" front bumper, have non-widened rears (with sunken in rims that only highlight the fact), or just have a generally ugly look.

darknight's (rip) would have been a perfect example of doing it right (all metal front fenders, wider rear fenders, etc).

you guys are so off base I just posted the fact that there are conversions out there without widebody fenders in the rear and they do not look ugly . I have seen them in person!! have you??

[Yoshi]

you guys are all suckers for a troller.

How about it's summed up like this:
Your Car is Your Car.

some people like the s15 front, some people don't.
some are jealous of what others have the time, money, sweat & tears to do;
some respect it,
some think it's ugly.

Bottom line:
Your Car is Your Car.

So long as it makes you happy who cares what others think?
For me it's a goal that I set out to do. SR my car, make it decently fast, then make it look nice too, and somewhat individual (first person that says they see s13-15-14-12-etc's all the time can suck me, they're far more rare than just a regular 240 fb or coupe, you don't see 10 of them driving 5 miles to work)

Christ I can't believe how stupid this thread is! It just shows how f*cking sheep-like y'all are flocking here and there. Do you really need someone to tell you what's "Cool"? WHat are we, in jr-fuckn-high?

Insomnyaq, if you need others to tell you what to do, you might as just well bend over for the world to azz-rape you, cuz that's what all these opinionated people are trying to do to you; and you asked them to do it.

Do what makes YOU happy; why? Cuz I told you to... and you should do what you're told... u know, cuz it's cool.... wait... no you shouldn't... or should you?

[nightwalker]

I still think fastbacks with a S15 front and no wide rears look like ass. That's exactly what "I" think.

[silviasichigo]

Damn yoshi harsh! Well anyway I have the luck of seeing this conversion everyday since I am in Japan but I think it is a nice conversion but you have to get the right body kit to set it off in just the right way. Look for Target body kits they have a bad ass kit out there right now for the S-13-14-15's like Yoshi said it is your car do with it what you want.

[mrmephistopheles]

taht shit is teh MADDDDDD tYteness!!!
My friend Zelda's S13.5 S15 Sylvya strawberry face was on Smallville and now it's going to be in teh next Fast & Furious!!

[MakotoS13]

i've heard that the S15 conversion is really hard to line up and stuff. the lack of physical bumper support has me put off as well. how substantiated are these rumors?

only if u get the craptastic GTP/VIS fenders, you definitely get what you pay for.

[FRpilot]

haha.. trolls.. just because one person says it looks like ass everyone else says the same thing.. haha.

anyways, i think it looks hot. the s15 front fenders flare out a tad so you might wanna make it look the same in the rear. either with pulled fenders or wider fenders. a body kit would help too. but it looks great if done right. i like them on s13 coupes, s13 fastbacks, and s15s. looks weird on s14s imo.

[sykikchimp]

I always felt that s13 Fastbacks, and S15's shared very similar lines so it works with a tasteful body kit.

I like it. Especially the signal cars.. Race cars are just hot.

Of course I have a thing for pop-ups too, so I probably wouldn't ever do it.

see here's a man that knows what he is talking about!!
P.S. rolled and pulled s13 wheel wells are the shiznit!!! :boink:

[exitspeed]

i don't think he was aking if he should do it. He was just asking what other people thought of it. Like when you ask someone if they liked a movie or not. You don't start snappin on'em damn. I hate when people on here get that question confused. Answer the fucking question. DO YOU LIKE HOW IT LOOKS, BITCH'S?

[Insomnyaq]

well I know it's my car and my opinion, but all I'm tryin to see is other peoples thoughts on the idea, and possibly some info. I had checked out some kit on takakaira.com where I actually realized the conversion idea, the one there doesnt look bad at all.

[SilviaDriver]

looks better on a s14

[SimpleS14]

Doesn't look too bad...but then again I've only seen one in the states that is nicely done.

that would be mine =D

[Brian]

THE SINGLE greatest 180sx with s15 face was the old signal car. the blue car for those who remember.
now, i dont know why i like it so much. it has an ugly wing, ugly front bumper, but for some reason, when its all together, it looks bad ass. even the stickers looked good on the car. that was a nice street drift car. oh well, those were the days. now it's orange... and a pile of crap.

[HIstateS13]

I dislike the 180sx with s15 front-end... JDM all the way! If I had a 180sx I'd just go for the Type-X look... :eek3d:

[Stee Flo]

Naa, it definately looks better on an s13 hatch. The lines flow better imo. My favorite one would have to be the signal cars. The key to making it look good is not cheapin out and buying some crap front end.

[curbhuggerrps13]
