Silvia face or stock?
Soon I'll finally have time to work on getting the much-needed work on my S13 done (CA-power, w00t!). Anyways, since my front-end looks like *** (mangled bumper, bad headlight, dinged hood) I'm debating converting the front-end to Silvia... Should I? Or should I just go repair the front end and get a 180SX kouki bumper?

Besides, the chicks dig the popups for some reason

It's up to you, it's your car. Everyone has their own opinon. I'm the opposite of Fast1One, I don't like pop-ups, but i love the body style of the koukis. So i'm going with either an Origin or Version:Select 180SX body kit and flush headlight conversion. So go for whatever floats your boat!

Well lets see people I wont be ordring parts from... aspec products!!!
Its all up to what ever you like the most. I got a good deal on parts and am spending less then I would to put fixed lights in. I still have much love for the pop-ups though.

If I got a Silvia front for a good deal I'd do it, it's just that personal preference is to just spend that $900 or so on something else. Brick headlights with black housing still do look sick. It's just better to see them on a coupe IMO. Just my opinion and $.02.
A ton of my friends rock Sileighty front (and it looks good), it just is very commonplace here in Cali.
One benefit to Silvia conversion is that you can retrofit HIDS. That makes me jealous.

I'm still waiting for someone to try and put Stanza front lights on their 240.

I personal like the tri projectors more then the brick lights but I am thinking about getting a set of brick lights to just to swap them in and out as I please
I do plan on putting in hids on the low beams and after having them in my other car with no projector headlamps the light was bright but scaterred.
