help with front end? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

SilviaNOW · 03-12-2008, 04:08 PM

Hey guys, most of you probally saw what happened to my silvia 2 hours after i brought it out of the shop. Me being the dumb ass wasnt paying enough attention. But im onto the road of success and im wondering which front i should go with. My choices: S13 silvia front end again, or make it into a Onevia w/ a 240sx front end. I like both front ends the same, and would choose the cheaper one however what makes this harder choice even harder is that i can get both for the exact same price.

here are some choices i have for front bumpers. If you have any other which you would think look clean post them too please.

These are the ones i think look the best:

Any other clean looking front ends for the s13 would be greatly appreciated. Also i am need of a good color to paint my silvia, or get it resprayed the oem color.

Here is a random silvia i found off google, that happens to look exactly like mine before the crash, and is the same color.

TooForOh · 03-12-2008, 04:40 PM

i would go for the second one.

lol

clark · 03-12-2008, 04:44 PM

I too am torn between which front to go with. i have tri projectors and the supports for them, but that's all i currently have. i'd have to purchase fenders if i choose a silvia front.

i too really like that one in the second photo. if i went silvia front i'd have to get a hood, fenders, AND the rest of the aero.

if i go onevia, i just need aero. obv this is the cheaper route, but yeah any useful comments or other shots of nice looking onevia/silvia, would be awesome for me and the op

this IS of course personal preference and i know you guys couldn't tell us which ones we should go with, but opinions matter!

SC_S13 · 03-12-2008, 05:19 PM

look into URAs monkey magic bumpers. i just picked one up and i personally like some of there more reserved "oem-with-lip" look.

89singlecamnoob · 03-12-2008, 05:24 PM

stay silvia, stay two-tone, and i think yeah, the monkey magic would be sex...or the instant gentleman...

driftyour40 · 03-12-2008, 06:24 PM

the second one, clean simple, good.

Vernal · 03-12-2008, 06:55 PM

yea definately go for the 2nd one man.

SilviaNOW · 03-12-2008, 07:00 PM

any suggestions on color? keep it oem?

Slammed180 · 03-12-2008, 07:08 PM

I'd keep it OEM. And I'd also stay with the Silvia front. Just put a nice, clean, subtle kit on it.

Yah only bad thing about my color, im trying to find a rim color that goes really good w/ it. I really want the instant gentleman kit

Slammed180 · 03-12-2008, 07:12 PM

For a rim color, you could do white, very tastefully.
There are a few pics on here of that color and white wheels, shit looks hot.

wantboost@ga · 03-12-2008, 07:28 PM

thats my favorite.

Ca_laurier · 03-12-2008, 07:34 PM

like i have told you before, buy wheels at the same time so you don't look like one of those hurtbags driving around with a flared kit on stock wheels. ya like most of the idiots who rock s13 silvias around here.

really you could run any color on your car, but make sure its not a shitty 17x8 +35 all around. with you it wouldn't suprise me. hell my 17x9 +22 isn't good enough imo

Taj · 03-12-2008, 07:42 PM

Yeah man def. 2nd one

SilviaNOW · 03-12-2008, 08:06 PM

hey laurier, post those pictures.
and ill probally just buy a s13 front clip from jdmsource.
get it painted, and spend the rest of the money on rims, exhaust and suspension.

ms!3 · 03-12-2008, 08:13 PM

oem. unless you have money for wheels.

Ca_laurier · 03-12-2008, 09:35 PM

dude, refer to the wheel fitment thread for wheels and sizes and as for how you want your car to look, search through the picture thread and the old picture thread in the archive section.

if there is something you wanna see, someone on here has done it

btw, you have alot of work to do. order some coilovers asap once you have your front end. your wheel well is like banging a loose bitch cause you can fit 4 fingers between your tires and your fenders

sirhc · 03-12-2008, 10:39 PM

I think the 2nd one looks good.

HS13KLS · 03-12-2008, 10:43 PM

..def.. for reall that second one looks really good man, i want to see pictures if you choose that one.I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
hope it turns out well,, and sorry for your loss, i read the thread

made me want to cry lol

SilviaNOW · 03-13-2008, 08:46 AM

im wondering if this is a FC3S, or is it a 240sx bumper? i really like how you can see the lights without popping the lights up.
Can you get the lights to work, without popping the headlights up?

omfg

5t341tH · 03-13-2008, 02:32 PM

the FC's headlights are on a pivot i think. so even with the lights down, the lights itself point forward. thats y my frend could have his headlights down and his lights point directly forward.

SilviaNOW · 03-13-2008, 03:42 PM

so ive pretty much decided on my front end.

the supermade lights:

w/ this bumper:

how bad is the light output w/ the supermade lights? even w/ retrofitted projectors? or hids?

bboyoracle · 03-17-2008, 11:18 AM

the supermade halogen with headlight buckets are around 500. If you want the HID versions thats a little over 1000. You are better off getting the buckets (300) and getting your own lights.

Just in case you are looking for people who sell Supermade. You can get it from Van Phan @ www.onetongarage.com. Looks like Cannonball-r sells them as well but i havent heard ANY good reviews from them. Your best bet is Van, he sourced the kit for that grey Supermade S13 you mentioned.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: Team Aero-K can source Supermade for you as well.
