Here's a pic of an R33 front end, complete with headlights on a '95-'96 base model. Dude needs some wheels though! Pic is pretty big...

Wow, thats uglier than I thought it would be <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> what the #### is on the roof?!

it just looks sooo, I dono what, just wrong on that car. &nbsp;I would have just done a 95-96 to 97-98 front end conversion and put a body kit on it. &nbsp;Or maybe an s15 conversion but that doesn't look quite right either.

pretty cool, but i've seen 95-96's w/ body kits that i like better, not that that isn't cool though.

BlankFlip

looks like it might be the sunroof tilted up at an angle, maybe....

nismo270r

Yeah...I didn't really like the way it looks...I've got a '96, and I told myself that if I ever do a front end swap, it's gonna be to the '97-'98 style...I still like it better than the S15...although the S15 is still very badass!

hay go check a my post names &quot;photoshoped 240sx&quot; thats the vielside r34 kit....with 240sx head lights...my brother and i r pretty good with body work and i plan to use the entier kit...and do a r33 tail ligth conversion (i dont thinkg tha r34 tail lights match teh 240sx body) ...and im getting a custom cf hood for 1200 <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

do u mean wrx....and that hood scoop isnt the same as the wrx that type of hood scoop is 2 left air vent out of the engine bay...a very inportent then for top speeding cuz it add's downforce to the front of the car... the hoos scoop the wrx uses is becuase it comes stock with a engine mounted intercooler...so it pulls air in to cool the intercooler.....which is like the first thing you have to chang on the wrx... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

I think he ment World Ralley Circuit or something along that line, or more likely did mean WRX.

groundzero

Ugly! Don't like the fact that he/she wasted money to do that project. &nbsp;The thing on the roof makes the car look like it shoots missiles or some crazy shit! &nbsp;But as far as the car looks, I give it a 2.

DSC

Hrm...if it really DID shoot missles that would be pretty frickin cool! &nbsp;I'll have to look into this...would give a whole new meaning to road rage.

BlankFlip

there r subaru impreza wrc (n i think there's something else added to the name after that), just that most ppl know of the wrx, it's a higher model i guess.

teamcapsule

hmm that kit is kinda ooglyyyyyy... looks like it doesn't fit at all... give it a name...

Tuck&Poke

it looks like it was glued on and it just didnt fit right. &nbsp;cheap and poinless

S13Grl

WRC-World Rally Championship

I think that looks tacky.

Just my $.02.

wrc world rally championship?? where the #### did that come from?

that could look good with rims and without the body kit and roof scoop thing, its pretty ricey though

You've never heard of World Rally Championship?
Ever watch Speedvision?

if not for the hood and for the freakin roof i think it would look dope as ####

My personal definition of &quot;rice&quot; is stuff that looks out of place. &nbsp;Well take your pick. &nbsp;The lines on that car are all wrong....the flares (everywhere) are goofy..and those 15 inch wheels look rediculous. &nbsp;Look at that wheel gap...you could fit 22&quot; rims under there for goodness sakes. &nbsp;Also, that wing....where do I start......NO CAR would look good with that wing....but....I could understand if it were functional..but.......the only thing that wing is gonna do is tear its anchor bolts through the sheetmetal at high speeds. &nbsp;Yikes. &nbsp;I do however commend the owner of that car for having the guts to try something new...definite props for that.

The scoop on the roof's of WRC WRX's and some Lancers are functional. &nbsp;They are basically just an air vent to cool the drivers from everything I've heard about them...

That seems about reasonable. I think it also may help a little in keeping the car on the ground, what do you people think? Aerodynamics...

Chokudori

I'd say it's the headlights that make this car kinda weird. S14a with just the R33 front bumper conversion looks pretty good.

drifterx

they have a skyline kit for the 97-98 model
www.versusmotorsport.com

mistert

that probably wouldnt have looked half as bad if they had bothered to use a GTR front instead of a GTS front. I agree it is pretty ugly though.

that skyline style body kit on an s14a looks way better. however the owners of that company are total idiots for referring to an s14a as an s15
