Silvia Conversion.

To all of the Silvia Conversion Lovers out there.

Would it be cheaper to buy part by part or is it better to find like a bundle? Like as bundle you get your conversion for like 800 bucks, here in Richmond Virginia.

I figure it might be less expensive to scout for part by part, lights, hood etc. But then, im sure its harder to keep finding like one part or so, and do u end up paying more for shipping?

I think it would make sense to buy everything in a bundle but it depends. For example, if you are gonna upgrade and get a CF Bonnet or FRP Fenders, then there isnt a point of getting a bundle including those things.

I dont think it's hard to find seperate peices, but the S/H will add up like you said.

Nothing out of stock.

Duel lights and trying to avoid the Silvia grill and get GTR grill. Fenders,hood, and either K or Q bumper should be stock. I just dont know where to really search, cali's got shops but va doesnt so if i do its all over forums or online shop. I dunno any that are like trustworthy by other ppls remarks.

It always depends on prices. Do the math and figure it out.

And if you suck at math...I charge 20 an hour lol

400-500 is common since it's not as hard to find s13 Silvia parts compared to S15 Silvia parts (OEM)

Wow, you guys are so lucky.

Its probably so cheap because its local and just pick up. I'll only be able to probably buy online to get it shipped to Richmond, Virginia. Therefor its going to run more, no?

Shipping will hurt you a bit since it most likely will have to be shipped by freight

Even if i actually am able to get the kit for like 500 bucks. Its still like.. 200 at least to send the stuff over here if its bundle. That hood is gonna be a pain.

Its almost discouraging.
