98 front on a 93 coupe

I got this brainstorm one night. It looks amazing in my head. What will it take?? I have only one pic of it and I am in love. Has anyone seen this or have any pics??

is the 93 and 98 front wheelbase the same?? I dont want my coupe looking like a pro FWD drag car

The S14 is wider in the front. Not exactly sure by how much but Im sure it is.

If dont right it will look good, check jspec.com for the fenders

it's already been done, and it's not "bolt on". doesn't quite look right IMO because the S14 front end is wide.

I've seen a few different examples on a coupe but I don't remember where to find the pics, so here's a hatch pic for you (attached) to get an idea of what I mean.

its only a "bolt on" if you get the fenders and hood from jspec.com and then have a bodyshop mate the s14 bumper to the s13 specs... if i were you id do an r32 or an r34 front end conversion... only cuz its going to cost the same.. XD do what you want its your car dont let any one else tell you other wise.

I really doubt it... the Skyline R32 itself is wider than an S13 so right from the start something would have to be "narrowed" to fit the measurements of the S13's narrower front end... and that's just for starters.

From what I heard, it takes minimal modifications...and doesnt look to bad.

Go for the 280ZX front end conversion. I remember seeing one @ Drift Day the last time.

A quick call to a local shop gave me a quote of about $500 without paint. But I don't know if that's high or low for that type of custom body work.
