Sil80 or Sil15-80?

What would you rather have? an s15 front end conversion on your RPS13 or an s13 front end conversion?

S13. It was actually made for that body style, unlike the S15 front end. Also, being from the same era, it flows with the rest of the body. The S15 conversion looks alright, but you can tell it doesn't belong, whereas the S13 front end looks like it was meant to be there

neither... but if i had to choose then I'd take the S13 front end. the s15 front end is being played out already. There are cavaliers in ss with it, some integras and civics as well.

in some cases (Signal Auto 1580 as well as some other cases i've seen), the S15 front end can look amazing on the RPS13. but i fell in love with S13 Sileighty's the second i saw one for the first time. it just looks "right", and as well the conversions are alot cheaper since the parts just bolt right on and don't require modification (as well, S15 lights are almost 1 grand a pair).

i still like the s-15,
it looks mean, n it kol
i no the s-15 lights are gettin played out but they still look dyamm great on a rps13!
thats what ill probably end up doing if i get a rps13,after the sr20det!
:p

incredible...where'd you get that picture by the way?

Agreed the 180sx is a beautiful car no doubt about that

the link to where i got the picture is in the picture :P

anyways anyone know if that body kit is avaliable to the public? and if you can buy it? and where?

i'm a member of the forum at that website. i go there even more often then i come to AF!

Hahahaha! VRT strikes again!!!!

Ryan sure as hell aint gonna like this.

that pic along with a couple of others are on the main page. they're downloadable desktops, so they're SUPPOSED to be used by other people. i don't think Ryan will care.

to be honest with you, the i do'nt think the S13 headlights go with the hatchback. if you look at the basic body shape of the 2 cars, the S13 is very boxy and has hard edges all around, therefore the front end also looks too boxy. but it goes with the original car fine. the RPS13 on the other hand is less boxy and the rear is kinda rounded. so in my opinion, the S15 headlights actually flows with the RPS13 better.

I ppersonally think the S13 front end is bland and sort of ugly- reminds me too much of the cheap Nissan taxi's that the poor taxi companies in NZ who couldn't afford Commodores used. The S15 front end doesn't belong on there either- too out of place- the 180SX is the only way to got- especially with the Type X tailights :drool:

holy old thread, bat man! :p

for the longest time, i was contemplating building a Sileighty myself, and i still am actually, but now i'm starting to like the idea of building either a Kouki 180SX replica or an S13 Coupe more then that....but we'll see what happens.

Its not an RPS13, its an S13 or 240SX hatch. Its not an "s13 front end conversion" its a "S13 Silvia" front end conversion. Just to clear up your confusion.

I'm more with you, the S13 Hatch goes well with the round tail lights and popup headlamps. The S15 headlights are okay and CAN be used, but I dont think it looks natural. Besides, I dont care much for that kind of stuff..

As for the S13 Coupe, I think the Silvia front-end looks great on that car.. hard lines go well.

the reason I don't really like sil-eighty's is because the front end doesn't go down as much.... it doesn't look as aerodynamic. I like the stock 240sx front end cause it goes with the car better, the silvia face looks cool on a coupe though. If I had to have one id take the S15 cause it looks more aerodynamic and sleek with the 180sx bodylines compared to the boxy-ish s13.

No conversion for me

just the normal retractable lights on my FB

PEOPLE!!!

if you're voting on this without typing anything, then cut it out!

if you're going to vote, at least type what you voted for and why.

when you simply vote and leave, it brings the thread up to the top of the forum with nothing new in it to read.

since this thread is so old anyways, if it continues, i'll just close it, but if you want it to stay alive, then TYPE SOMETHING when you vote.

thanks!:icon16:

DEFINITELY THE S13. THE STRAWBERRY FACE IS NICE...BUT THE LIGHTZ LOOK AS THOUGH THEY DONT BELONG ON THAT CAR. THE ENGINE IT SELF IS A DIFFERENT STORY, DEFINITELY WANT THE BLUETOP BUT THE RED TOP IS CHEAPER, AND I CAN GET IT WITH THE WHOLE FRONT CLIP WHICH MAKEZ THE CONVERSION A LOT EASIER. AND I HAVE THE CHOICE OF GOING RHD IF I WISHED.

NO CAPS OR SLANG

THERE IZ NO BLUETOP

yeah s13 triple projecter... :newbie:

FO SHIZZLE MA NIZZLE
