Zenki to Kouki Front conversion

Ok so i recently bought a '95 240sx, the Zenki Model......i was gonna buy a 97 model but that one was automatc and i didn't want an automatic. I really like the look of the Kouki model more than the Zenki so i thought that it'll be less costly to do a front conversion than to do a transmission swap.

I'm sure it's been done before, but how hard is it to do it?

the front conversion cost somewhere around $1500 from the local nissan delership the a little bit more money for paint , and as for the tranny swap it would be somewhere around that price..............i think

the front end conversion from zenki to kouki is extremely easy. simply bolt on. and yes a front end conversion can be less costly, depending on what parts you want. a transmision sway is harder in the sence that it is labor intensive and parts can be hard to locate.

Bolt on? .....sounds easy enough, i think........how many parts are needed for this bolt on?

From the looks of it,

1. the lights for sure

2. the hood

and what else is there?
