Hey Guys, I bought a 1995 Silvia and plan on turning it into a completely different automobile. I've looked around at different kits and decided to change the car to an s15 front end. Some of the companies have the kits for around 3 grand and I wanted to go find some parts myself. I've found

Carbon Fiber hood for S15. GTP international 399.99
Bomex Front bumper for S15 GTP international 469.99
always at least two sets of S15 headlights on Ebay est. 500-600
and Fenders from Autoimaging Project D for 900.00

the only thing I am unhappy with is paying 900 dollars for damn Strawberry faced fenders, If anyone knows of a cheaper place to find them let me know. If you put all of that stuff together you come up with between 2300 and 2700. Cheaper and with aftermarket Equipment. Hopefully cheaper if someone knows of a good Place to guy Fenders. Thanks alot. I've got about 15,000 to put in this thing, Plan to see me in Import Tuner in about a year or so <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/baaa.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':baaa:'>

You could get the fiberglass fenders, but the OEM metal ones wil be so much nicer when its done. They just take more work because of all the cutting and welding.

Once in awhile you can find fenders cheaper than $900.  My friend got his off a clearance sell on e-bay for $500 (around that price).

But you can get them for $625.....SHIPPED from Speed Alliance.
