s15 conversions anyone?

i've recently become real interested in doing an s15 conversion... but i'd like to know exactly how hard it would be to install all the stuff needed?

I've seen plenty of S15 front end conversions, but as far as rear bumper/taillight conversions go, I haven't seen any. I'm sure it's possible, just as long as you have enough money.

maybe it would be less expensive to just import one?

"Strawberry Face" is just the term used to designate the S15 front end (i.e. bumper and fenders). I have no clue why it's called that.

The S15 headlights are called strawberry face because in japanese they say ichi-go (1 and 5) for 15, and ichigo in japanese means strawberry.

Thanks for clarifying that. Funny logic, but it definately makes sense.
