S15 Conversion Questions, yes I have searched

I just want to clear up and fully understand the info I gained when I searched.

So, it is true that you could use ANY S15 aftermarket bumper by using

1) S15 headlights
2) conversion fenders
3) hood made for S15???
4) weld in S15 rad support


Is that all?? By using the items 1-4, I can install any aftermarket bumper made for the S15???


Thank you. ( Sorry for being a noob please don't flame )

I don't know if you have an S13 or S14, but these sites answer your questions for either.

The stock bumpers for S15 are wider than S13/14. You'll only have a few bumpers to choose from that are made for the conversion. Sucks, but not many people are doing this conversion now with $ strapped down.

But check out those links Jaronervin posted, they provide pretty good info.

Looks more like a conversion kit that has that bumper styled to be like one from an S15 kit.

Not to mention body kits can be modified to be fitted for almost any application. Just have to come up with the $ to do what you want done.

ya same here. i figured as long as you had the rad support you could run any s15 bumper. An s-chassis is an s-chassis after all.

Yeah that's exactly what I thought...because if you think about it, some people use the OEM S15 bumper and hood, then get conversion fenders. SO, if we used conversion fenders, we could probably mount any front bumper made for the S15 with the right stuff, and I don't think it would be too much of a PITA since it should line up with the rest of the S15 conversion stuff.
