thats not a conversion

Er, I don't know shit about nipboxes, what's the theme here? The Sil80 is a 180SX with a Silvia front end attached, primarily an aftermarket thing and was only done 'officially' in very small numbers by a third party contracted to do so; what's the theme with the rest of them? Just cars with different names?

Here is an S13 with JDM Honda Odyssey head lights.


>>17512641
not the person you replied to but nobody knows if they are actual conversions or the original things.

for example, people swap the JDM DC2 front end on the North American Integras since people find it better looking.

>>17512641
They are in a sense that you change out a set of panels and potentially drivetrain for a different appearance or performance.

For the following gen it's the opposite that works better. C140 with W140 front. Fabbing definitely required, you kinda have to blend both bumpers into one another, and move the headlight and bumper mounts if I recall correctly.
