S14 zenki to kouki conversion idea??????
I just had a thought, if I would put the kouki hood headlights, and grill on my zenki, would it line up right, or be way off?
things like, the hood to fender clearances where it drops off in the front, the size of the corners compared to the side of the headlights, and how the grill and lights would sit on the bumper.
Just a thought, maybe there is a good reason why this cant be done, cause I figured I would have seen it already if someone had done it.

arcticdragon said there is a guide somewhere. I couldnt find it. does anyone else have the link. and I think you guys missed the point. I am not doing it to look cool, or even look right at all. I simply want to know if I put on kouki lights, bumper, and hood, if the hood will shut, and I wont have to cut the bumper more than I would for kouki fenders cause then it wont fit once I get the rest of it. Its not even about being cheap and halfa$$ed, I am givin some of my bodywork to someone and thought I might be able to throw the parts on just so I have headlights and a hood, and bumper.
Arctic was talking about a guide for the conversion with the fenders. Sorry if I came off as sounding like a dick, not my intentions, but I'm almost positive that it will not work without the fenders
no I didnt think anyone was jumpin down my throat about it, just that I thought my question was takin more as "some ricer kid wants to hack up a car cause he is cheap or broke" and not as "I have the car at my shop, I am going to fix a wrecked one for a friend with some of my parts, and since I was going to do a kouki conv anyway, why not just throw the parts on so I have something covering up the motor and so I can see if I have to move the car around at night" which is really what it was all about. I would much rather find the pieces and do it all at once, but I am having a horrible time finding used fenders. and I dont think I want to get aftermarket ones, cause I just thought it would look stupid with stock rear quarters. does anyone know of any pics with an S14 with 20 or 30 wide fronts, but stock backs? or if anyone has seen it and it looks ok, or really bad, let me know. does anyone know if anybody sells stock width aftermarket fenders for S14 kouki? I would do that in a sec.

As for the aftermarket fenders, even with the stock rear intact, the front 20mm fenders will look fine provided you have some aftermarket wheels already... otherwise it will look odd with stock 16's (or 15's, depending on what model you have).
So if you have the hood, headlights, and grill, go for it. It'll look really funny, but if you gotta do what you gotta do, then it's all you bro
