i want to a cefiro front end conversion on my s13. there are a lot car importers online but 99% look low budget and make me uncomfortable. anybody know a trustworthy site i could get the parts from?

SexPanda · 07-29-2007, 09:19 PM

Cefiro? That'll be interesting. Good luck with that, I hope you know alot about body work. It really depends with who you buy from. Do a little research on this site. Theres alot of info.

Try them, their one of the most highly recommended importers in the states.

Doesnt the A31 Cefiro front end look basically the same as an S13 Silvia?? What's the point if you can easily get an S13 front for basically the same look and probably less money?

You decide...

Cefiro

Silvia... Pretty close looking. Yeah, small differences. But overall its the same idea.

Thats about as close as your going to get in the states I recon...

But i dont think the Cefiro hood would look too unique on a silvia, especially after all the cutting and fabbing to make it fit. Better off with a silvia front end. Of course, the side markers do look nice. With some patience and hard work you could probably make those fit.

mr. newbie · 07-30-2007, 02:48 PM

ya even the projectors are pretty similar. on top of that my local bodyshop wasn't to enthused about it. and most of the import companies don't have it . i like the silvia front, just wanted to be a little different

UfoZ8myCow · 07-30-2007, 03:04 PM

You might be able to get the headlights/corners/grille and just custom fit them onto a Silvia front end if youre deadset on doing the Cefiro conversion. I remember seeing A31 Cefiro stuff on ebay all the time back in the day. I dont think itll really be worth it though to be honest.

yokotas13 · 07-30-2007, 03:23 PM

you can always mod the grill to fit silvia fronts.

haha.

to op: trying to be different just to be different doesn't always work out well, especially when front end conversions are involved. i.e. cali type r, s14 front on civics, r33 skyline fronts on ford escorts. if you want looks, spend cash on hard to get aero or something.

Cef-13 = Fail.

That red one you posted looks pretty crappy. Doesn't flow properly.

There's "being different" and then there's "Just plain dumb".

DJ_Sunrise · 07-30-2007, 04:05 PM

I agress It doesn't flow well.. Or it might with a different hood and front bumper.

yokotas13 · 07-30-2007, 04:08 PM

i put a cefiro grill on my shit with a dremel and zip ties

mr. newbie · 07-30-2007, 04:11 PM

oh if you guys couldn't tell in my last post i was agreeing with ufo (they're pretty similar) and i'd given it up. s14 civic? WTF!?

i'll stick with the silvia front.

Nismogirl · 07-31-2007, 02:53 PM

Well I work for a large importer that gets containers twice a month. If you are willing to put money down, we can locate one for you. Are you looking for engine as well as body? Or just the body? I work at n1concepts.com which is the largest importer or Honda JDM parts..... LMK
