hey guys,
so right now i am having a tough time choosing to go S15 front or stay kouki the car is going to be widebodied end of the summer so im trying to choose the front end. If i was going to do the S15 front i was gonna use the stock S15 silvia Spec R bumper and cutting the license plate peice for more of the aggressive look and if i was kouki Version Select replica of the kouki. i love the look of the S15 and the kouki but in certain veiws with the s15 on a 240sx hatchback looks kinda funky. So help me out guys S15 or stay Kouki?
PS: my cars a 91 hatchback
Thank you
Jimmy

i think that s15 look is sleeker, and has a sexier look to it.
the kouki is more aggresive, and tough-looking
but just my opinions.
sell me your kouki front end if you do.

to make a real life comparison, S14.5 looks like a girl that had a doctor make one boob a size B and the other boob a size C.
its just wtf
even from far away, you can tell that the fender doen't line up right with the rest of the car.

Personally I love the S14.5 conversion- I just finished one myself. If done properly the lines flow very smoothly, and I think the generally rounded shape of the car, especially in the rear, compliments the headlights.
That being said, I converted from an already wrecked Zenki front, whereas you have a perfectly good Kouki front on yours. I don't think you have any reason to switch. You already have projectors, and just as many people, if not more these days, are paying the money to upgrade their Zenkis to the Kouki front instead of the S15 conversion.
Unlike a Zenki car, your vehicle is in no danger of being confused with an corolla. Keep it the way it is.
hatchbacks should remain popups. S15s are the only car that should have S15 fascia. Some have pulled off good conversions, but they are few and far between.

s15 front end works with the s15 because it flows with the rest of the car, particularly the quarter panels.

I would love to hear anybody truthfully tell me that these two front ends don't line up, flow with the lines of the car, and look just plain sexy! Please guys stop reffering to s-14.5 conversions! S-14's look gay as fuck with the s-15 front as do s-13 coupes and verts. Besides the s-14 front is sexy as it is, zenki and kouki! I vote you go s-15, but do it RIGHT! If you don't it will enu up looking super gay like the white fastback that I deleted from the quote above!

No more s14.5 pls. S13.5 looks okay with overfenders.
But other then that. Keep s15 fronts on s15's.

You definitely need either over fenders or a custom flare job in the rear to pull off the s-15 front since the s-15 front fenders are wider.

I suggest staying popup'd. It'll save you money, you can still find nice looking kits, if thats what your into (i like the factory or close to it look) and your not being jdm-tacular. I like my USDM grade A steak just fine.
And depending on where you live, they'll fail your inspection for not having DOT approved headlights.

HerbReals was good but had a few flaws. Mine will be nicer:D and yes I am using steel fenders!
Though you should not do S15 front. Do Kouki like I said.
Only pussies who are afraid of standing out say S15 fronts suck on fastbacks, plus the don't have the cajones to attempt to pull it off.
There is a Reason the old Signal Auto Car(Green one) back in the day looked so dope. S15 front done right.
P.S. With a SN like addicted2kouki its obvious you're going to hold a bias against anything not Kouki so your comments get disqualified. On the other hand I do like both so I am unbiased. :D et tu!

Actually your wrong here. The S15 front flows better with the natural shape of the car than the S13 Silvia front does. I am tired of this shit. S13 Silvia fronts look like ass on Fastbacks yet everyone jocks them. S15 Silvia fronts actually work but you have all these haters. Take a design school course or have your eyes checked.

lol lemme help you out a bit with this......
his original statement was that the s15 front, on an s13 fastback, looks good and keeps the body lines. You posted a pic of an s14 with an s15 front, which really doesn't match at all what he was talking about in the first place. and like he said, those are some cheapo conversion fenders on that s14.5 but thats a moot point

That isn't showing flow imo.

Also, wtf did the person above me post a s15 with a 13 front?
Do you fucktards not know what this thread is about?
I'll recap you.
The person owns a s13 fastback.
He currently has kouki 180sx front bumper and what not one it.
He is contemplating on buying a s15 front end and mating it to his car.
Why the fuck are you posting and talking about s14's? Shit isn't even in this math problem.
Don't even get me started on how these cars with conversions on it would look like utter shit if wasn't for the body kit and wheels/fitment.

So you mention the same word that I did and you think that I am all over your thoughts and feelings. Sounds like you need a hug. And yes if it makes you happy I will agree with you and say that it does flow better on an s13. Much better. But it still does not have any complimentary features to do the conversion any justice.

Turtle meth.
You still haven't answered why the line that is supposed to be showing off the, "body lines" fails, and is going UP.

!Zar! sorry for the picture I posted. It was not the best picture to use for what I was trying to display. The line goes up to symbolize where the body line would have to be to match up with the end section of the natural body line. Meaning the line from the headlights to the taillights would have some sort of disturbance and not be straight. there would have to be a random arch in the line to have them connect. This is why I stated that doing this conversion looks like a bit of an after thought.

Turtle Meth. You did respond to my statement, in fact you directly responded to it. Now own your shit and shut the fuck up!
Oh and it does not hurt my feelings at all, you smart ass little punk. I also do not need you to be condescending, which your doing in the quoted post above. You made a fucking mistake in your statements, I called it.
Now if you made a mistake, what you do is say oops my bad, I thought you were talking about a S14. Instead of trying to deny it and throw attitude.
If you had done that none of this would have been posted. Oh and the conversion done right on the S13 does do it justice. IMO.
P.S. I love debate and making points. So take your hug statements and just keep them to yourself.
Now will a mod please close this thread.
