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 http://www.japanparts.com/Pic/pic077/007front.jpg 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.

Vis and Importfan.com has good CF hoods

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 :)

I dont really like that front bumper

But the CF hood is eh, id rather get a clean OEM one

I've got the C-Wings CF one, best Cf hood i've ever encountered

i've been debating whether or not to paint my hood of not :dunno:

h22lude Mar 25, 2004 05:21 AM

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.

Sizzzoooo Mar 25, 2004 06:47 AM

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

h22lude Mar 25, 2004 10:47 AM

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.

h22lude - Do you know the color code of the S15 you post on the first picture???? Or anyone ??

I am painting my car soon and I heard from couple people and they gave me differnt color code. Somes say it is

skline blue
or the S15 color code TV1 .

Which one is right. I am confused.

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.

h22lude Mar 26, 2004 03:55 AM

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?

homer240sx Mar 26, 2004 09:16 AM

i have the invader hood and it looks great. i can get a vis invader cf hood for like 450 plus ship. i can also get any other vis parts cheep so let me know if your interested.

h22lude Mar 26, 2004 01:54 PM

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?
