Facelift 2.0 Completed (Pics) S15

[rcviper]

Well this 95 has gone from a Zenki, to a Kouki, and now to a Strawberry Face...she is just a whore. Only thing I need for the outside still is the new 18s (which are coming) and a small rear lip spoiler. Did all the work ourselves, painting and installation.

The parts are all GTP parts up front which everyone thinks fit like crap but take a look how mine fits with zero modifications, we bolted it on right after we painted it all. Fitment is perfect and the lines match perfectly. Only problem is with the hood, I got a defunct hood that is getting replaced because it is tweaked on one side. Other than that I'm very satisfied. :yum:

Nice man, my origional 240 was a 95 but i totaled it before i got to the swap... 2nd time around i went with a 92 hatch... looks awsome though

[gonzoes14k]

Thats us sweet and very clean. I like how everything flows and for gtp stuff nice fitment.

needs lowering

i think when people said it fit like crap they were refering to the s13.5 fenders.

looks good mang

ps. id like to do the s13.5 conversion but everybody says it don't look right on a coupe :(

[nightwalker]

yes, it really doesn't look right on a coupe. Doesn't mean you can't do it. It's your money. >...and our entertainment< hahahaha!!! (rice of sac section here you come!) j/k man

I think the fitment sucks for some cars because they've been driven hard. Shit, my factory bumper doesn't fit right on my car.

Car does look nice though. btw, I recommend some spacers STAT

[HaLo]

REally good choice for your bumper....

I don't like most S15 conversions, but this bumper, WOW. Looks real nice. :)

Is it a Dyno Queen or a Show Queen?

Lets sit here and make comments of "how nice the car is".

What a waste of a car sitting there.

Looks good, Are you going out to Import and Truck Bash in Indianapolis this weekend?

I think its kinda funny that you post that and then have a pic of a car with an S15 front end on it in your sig.

looks hott to me....

[ILiveToDrift]

Very very nice. You beat me too it. My conversion is still as it was when I posted pics of it about a month ago. Glad to see one of us doing some work. Looks good.

Hopefully diameter wasn't your only concern, otherwise...

indeed. However the offset is only taking on water through the first hull.

Save it quick or go down with the ship. 20mm should do the trick.

Other then that looks like you did a good job there.

I dunno... maybe it looks good black? :ughd:

[rcviper]

Thanks all for the good comments. The car has the power to back up the looks. Freshly built motor (top/bottom) with a 57 trim T3/T4. She scoots, engine got finished a couple weeks ago so it still needs tuned on the dyno.

As far as wheels, im going 18x9 +15 up front and 18x10 +22 or 18x10.5 depending if I buy bolt on widebody rear fenders. Haven't decided yet.

[exitspeed]

That does look like everything fits nice. GTP fenders too? What kinda rims do you have coming? Some gold formula mesh would look fresh, and different.

[cr00k_lyn]

How much u spent on this facelift so far?

[rcviper]

Well the front end I got from Chris at Underground Motorsports. You'll have to contact him for current pricing, but I got it for 1650 shipped. The paint we did ourselves which everything was sprayed but when we went to wetsand it at the end my buddy went to town and wet sanded the clearcoat and some paint off of the front bumper(dumbass). Paint and everything needed for the paint process cost me 132 bucks, and I went to autozone and bought 3 cans of duplicolor black paint out of a damned rattle spray can because we ran outta regular paint. And to be honest no one can believe the bumper was spray painted, it looks better than the entire car no joking. Cost me 10 bucks for the paint cans. The secret to spray painting is a very good primer coat, then after you are done with the paint, use a real spray gun and put on the clearcoat/hardener real thick and that will bond the spray paint together(it looked like ass until we did that last step). Looks really nice now :)

[infinitexsound]

iono about your prep work, sounds kinda odd considering that i paint cars for a living. wouldnt u have atleast bought some base and sprayed that thru a hvlp gun, when u did it with the clear also. just my 2 cents

[hotrodv]

Very nice and clean man!! Like it!! :rawk:

[tah]
