Nead, I am interested in how this will look. I have seen a FD front on a widebody FC and did not really like it. But the FB might be a different story. Good luck.

well, im pretty sure you know that the fd's body shape resembles more of the fb than the fc. longer front end and longer rear end. the fc's shape is more stubby, or at least from what i can see. i think its gonna look bad *** when my car is done.

well im just waiting for my front bumper to come in. i really cant do anything yet because i need the bumper for measurements and aligntments. ive have the headlights, bumper lights, hood, and im still debating whether or not i should modify my original fenders or buy some fd ones. its gonna depend on the bumper.

i have no clue as what it is going to be called. but you got the right concept though. i noticed how the 240's have the silvia front end conversions and that is exactly why i am doing this project. basically, a newer look for an older model just like this 240sx w/ the silvia front end.

I'm not up on the 240s/Silvas, but is it just me, or does that front air dam look way too tall for the rest of the front end of the car? In my eye, the proportions seem off.

IMO that is the downfall on putting a kit on the FB. The car has such sharp lines. But then again I have never been much of a body kit fan...

That model silvia and the 240sx have the some front ends. The picture you're looking for is for the older model s13.
