Help me choose, pop-ups or silvia bodystyle

Tomorrow tougefactory is supposed to get in my version:select III s13 front bumper, drug hood and origin front fenders. If they dont have some of these parts I was was going to take that as an omen to stick with pop-ups, and just get the version:Select III 180sx front bumper.


I am torn between many choices so your opions are welcome, except I already know what kit I want to get for each choice. Thank you.

Yes, and the last poll option should be go pop-ups now and non projector silvia lights later(currently have tri-projectors in my garage).

I dont need two full kits, Already have new sides and rear. It is either stay pop-ups now and go s15 face(need new bumper, fenders, hood, lights) or go silvia s13 face now (need bumper,(already bought, can exhange for pop-up version, have tri projector lights and corner lights (could always sell), front fenders, hood, and grill)

I cerntainly wouldnt go s13 silvia to go s15 as I would have to rebuy all the parts. Damn this is sucha hard choice.

Its for a fastback like it says under my name. I live the onevia look but I dont have a coupe and never see any sil-80's around here, just one silvia coupe.

But since the first time I say the s15 I wanted one, and the lights and aero kit selection are nice, vertex, DRFT, yashio factory, etc.

Well just got the news the truck isn't coming in till friday (or so they hope) but they do have the pop-up v:s III bumper in stock.

Planning to think what color to paint the car, and if I am going to go s13 jdm or s13.5 next summer. I guess this frees up some money for wheels and brakes so it all works out

Thanks for everyones help, and feel free to continue to post in the poll and post your comments here, as I am still undecied.

Ok, so they wont have any hoods for the pop-ups till sometime in august, But the s13 ones come in tomorrow. I really want this style hood though if anyone knows where to order one, other wise I'll just go with d-drug.

Hmmm, I saw the new drft s13 bumper and i am in love seeing what the price diff is shipped and wondering if it would work with my side skirts and rear. I like the idea of having a pfrp bumper as opssed to just a frp.
