from what i have found out, with a little creativity, you can make your own mounting brackets. Shouldnt be to hard.

I also heard, u can use the mounting brackets from the Silvia S13 conversion

well, we dug in last night and we didnt need to use it. we just cut some of the stock s13 core support out and the headlights/ fenders all line up perfectly. just need to fab up some brackets to hold up the headlights and bumper.

WOW! looks awesome. I hope mine turns out just as good.

btw, what is the guy cutting or welding at in the front near the headlight?

also, what did u do about the hood latches?

headlight brackets and mounts would be awesome if i could see them

Where did u get the headlights from? The cheapest place i can find them is Ebay, but...ive always been cautious about buying stuff from there.

well, hope to get some info from ya soon, thanx@!

Question Wats needs to be done on the hood for the conversion?

I was wondering what did you have to do to the hood to make it fit like the hinge holes and hood latch.

I have seen a couple of pics on where people have done it...yea if I am going to spend the effort replacing my front end I am going to do it right...no crappy parts are going to be used in that converson. But it all comes down to what I am going to do now...I think for the time being I have to replace my drivers side fender with a stock one so I can pass inspection....texas is really **** about the whole working side blinker thing....and it is too smashed to rig something...
