S13-S15 installation walkthru
#17
did you read the instructions at all?
This is a quick overview pic of where I'm at currently. Had some setbacks, but nothing too major. The headlights don't quite line up, since i'm modifying the S13 radiator core support, rather than going with the $300 S15 core support that would need to be welded in. Several conversion I've seen use the existing support, but as you'll see in the following images, there are some definite drawbacks. Below you can see the light midway through being custom fitted. My deadblow hammer makes an amazingly accurate spacer for the light's mounting point

It looks great! Few questions I was hoping to use the Striker Front bumper (visracing.com) instead of the OEM S15 bumber. would it still fit the same? Also those are the OEM S15 headlights correct? They look like the Nismo ones, but the Nismo might be OEM on the S15 so not really to sure. Another biggie is that for lack of welding and hacking skills would it be easier to spend the 300 and get the S15 core support? Thanks.

This is ptryy much the same as putting a S14 front end on a 89 then correct?. My buddy my be interested, and i have all the S14 parts needed(headlights, fenders, hood, bumper, but no core support) so he will need to do what you did custom the core support?

Best fit/quality for fiberglass? Just Masa... they just sorta sit there at the top, everyone else is a grade below or lower... mostly lower.
EVERY "Kit" i've seen, is just a mash-up of the all the cheapest parts. Minus key things like hardware, spacing washers, hinges, sidemarkers, etc.
Ask Sam over at Jspec.com about the S14 lips, i bet he can help you.

LOL, I was wondering why my hits jumped up when I wasn't online all day today! LOL!
Just as well tho, with the weather getting better, I'll be painting again, and putting up more pix and web updates starting next week
Also, at this point lots of people have emulated what I've done to varying degrees so I'll be posting some of the pix people have sent of their cars and appropriate shout-outs and homage where it's due!
