Lol. Why do that, when you can live in New Zealand and drive one every day, hassle free?

Not enough roads and you can't show off your badass car in front of your friends...mailing a postcards seems like you're trying to show off. You just want to drive to their house in the s15 you got and didn't tell them about and have them freak out when they see a car that doesn't belong in America

dam that would be cool but if you do the conversion show us some pitures

Actually, American companies (VIS, etc.) are already making fiberglass copies of the S15 front end to bolt on an S13 chassis. It's not that expensive. The only expensive part I can think of would be the painting and the headlights.

and fitting the body kit. The VIS copies are poorly made. Consider these as copies of copies and they come out horrible, lines don't match up. I've seen it first hand, and that's why most shops suggest to used the JDM stuff. Not cuz it's bling bling, but it is a quality fit, that would just allow you to install and paint.

This one isn't amarican, but it gives an idea of what's involved:
