I was thinking the same thing. When I first read it I thought he meant the head off the engine then I read clikzip and got a little confused about taking the bumper and lights off to swap an engine head. I would think he means the front end conversion though. But not really sure.

I think he mean engine. That way you get the vtc. I know there is no way that the s15 just clips onto a s13. I got links and pics to verify the work.

You wish it. And I dish it. Then again I am just a LAZY MOD.

S13 front removed:


S15 for fitment:


Just for a show that this is not a bolt on affair. This car was done by a body shop that has a very nice car.


As you can see the fender was molded in and the arch was custom.


Almost done:


Finished product.

The conversion looks great. Is that the Bomex front bumper or a knock off?

I have no clue. I am not a body kit guy myself. I am more into function. You have to be that way when you park your car on the mean streets of NYC.

Plus potholes rip cars apart.

If you click on the link above the pics in my last post it will lead you to the site that owns and modified that car.

I found them because they are down with Yury @ HT.

I hope you're building a show car. Cause if you drive on the street with those headlights it's not only illegal, you deserve to get slapped for blinding on coming traffic.

We have one guy at our meets with a S14 with the s15 front. He is running HIDS and they are projected and pointed correctly. They are level and the light cuts like a razor.

It is ok if done correctly.

And not to keep the smack talking going but I don't think any of us will be smaking anyone else. This is the internet. If so I will back away from my screen so you can't reach me.
