I haven't seen the cover, but I'm wondering...

What is wrong with taking tail lights from one car and using them on another?  Or for that matter a full S15 conversion on an S14?  

It's hard to do, but sometimes it can actually look good.  Sure, that's not very often... but to blanket anyone who does that as being lame is a bit much.  I give them credit that at least they're trying to do something.

How is that any different than what you did with your S13 coupe?  Yes, I know the Silvia in Japan came that way... but so what.  All that means is it's a lot easier for your or I to do that conversion and it takes a lot less skill.

What's really lame IMHO is people who put GTR badges on their Nissans... this is the Nissan equivalent of putting Type-R badges on a Civic.  Heck, at least there really is a Type-R civic... we all know there isn't a Silvia GTR.  I bring this up because I've seen 2 different GTR badged 240s this week.  One was a really nice looking Black S14... it was sad.
