S15 bumper and conversion

If I ordered the front conversion for a s14 to s15 from takakaira, this is w hat the description says "This Fender kit is made of FRP(Fiberglass)consist of left and right pieces. Nissan Factory Genuine Head lamp, Fender Winker and all necessary Nissan Genuine hardware is included for this Fender kit conversion . Although it is needed to convert the Front Bonnet and Front Bumper so as to go along matching with this fender kit but it is not necessary to get West Yokohama aero parts if you prefer Nissan S15 bumper and bonnet or any other alternative S15 aftermarket aero parts. " What else do I need to get in order to complete the conversion? I still need the bumper and hood correct? What hood would I get, one for a S15? Is this the best company to get it from? I have read a few times on here that these fenders are very strong and fit extremely well.

Next is what bumper? I know I can put a S15 bumper on so I looked and found a few. So far this is my favorite It is from japanparts and it is the ings bumper. Is there another good site to look at for s15 bumpers? What are seom good sides and rear to go along with a bumper like this?

Yes, you'll need the S15 hood and bumper. If you're going to order from Taka Kaira, you might as well get everything from then. Maybe it will cut down on shipping costs getting everything shipped at once rather than seperately. They've got a wide selection of aero to look at, including S15 bumpers.

They have a real nice selection of fenders and what not. I like the whole body kit from INGS. I also like the Nismo. The Nismo would be cool just because it is Nismo but I think I like the INGS front better. Does the front of the S15 line up with the sides and rear of the S14, all stock. I like the looks of the S14 without a real bumper/lip but if I must get one I will

I like the Drift sides and the Uras rear. Obviously for the S14. I still need to figure out what front for the S15 I like.

Who makes a good CF hood for the S15? I heard VIS is pretty good and their vented hood looks real nice.

Does anyone like this CF hood from importfan?


I like that one and the OEM one.

Here is another bumper I like.


Not feeling the grill but that would come out easily

If your goign to paint the whole thing then getting CF was a waste of money. Unless you are a hardcore racer and are trying to reduce weight than I would say keep it black.

I like the INGS bumper better than the drifter. I don't mind either CF hood.

personally I like cf, but I'm going with a specific paint scheme and painting the hood may make it look better

Yeah Ican see that but I still love CF with any paint scheme. If you want to paint it, sell the hood and get glass. They are so much cheaper.

If you do a front conversion and leave the whole body stock it will look really funky. If you do the conversion your going to need a full kit for it to look normal.

I don't know the paint code for either the skyline or the silvia.

I am going to get a full kit but why would I need one if I was going to use the stock S15 bumper? Is that bumper lower than the stock S14 sides?

IF you don't me asking, how do you get them cheap? Will it still come with the warranty and if it doesn't fit can I send it back for my money back?
