Anyone know of a Shop that can install my Silvia Frontend?? I am lookin for a shop around the Fremont, Union City, and Hayward area... I would need a phone number and hopefully a estimate.. Thanks for lookin...

undercoverdjay · 02-26-2007, 04:34 PM

10mm, a philips head screwdriver, a long extension, some beer, and its done in a couple of hours. Minus paint.....its cheaper to have parts painted off a car than on, just a heads up.

If you can't stick on a darn silvia front end you don't deserve to own a 240.

Hurry and sell your car before you blow it up or crash it.

Seriously dude, putting on a front end isn't brain surgery. IT'S A DIRECT BOLT ON. Bust out your 10 mm.

markyboi · 02-27-2007, 01:11 AM

ill do it for you for a low price

dakine240 · 02-27-2007, 01:42 AM

golf · 02-27-2007, 03:10 AM

me and my friend do the conversion ourself!!! it just bolt right on unless you got fuck up fender that needed the alingment..... but you can do it yourself man it not that hard at all. find a location w/tool and call your friend to help you that all. unless you really dont know how and got no tool!!!!then go to a body shop and pay them..good luck man

wickdmarz · 02-27-2007, 08:51 AM

Sell your car....nooooowwwwww.

TiNMAN · 02-27-2007, 09:41 AM

a little too vicious don't you think? i mean just my opinion, but he might not be as willing to rip appart his front end and put another on himself if does't know what he's doing. wiring the lights for some f*&#$ lights can be a pain in the ass if you don't know how to wire correctly. It does seem like a lot of work fo some ppl, lol. i'm just saying cause I know what its like to be overwhelmed by this stuff at first. thats why I did my homework and got a little advice and experiance from friends before I started doing stuff w/ my car.

as for me, I put mine on in about 3 hours, it is simple as long as you have your tools and have the parts rdy. I had 2 friends helping me out here and there. direct bolt off and bolt on for the fenders, and the bumper might give you some trouble w/ the bumper support but it also bolts off. the hood is also simple as long as you know how to take off and put a hood on and align it. The lights might be the problem, cause certain lights (Like the trijector lights) have the fog lights built in and the USDM front doesnt support enought wires to light the head lights, side lights and fog light all at once. also don't forget the lighting brackets. So you'll prolly have to splice the wires. (not hard as long as you have the right tools and know what your doing). then you're done, lol. I actualy put a aftermarket bumper on my car which had me doing some minor modifications to the fitting, but it wassnt too hard either, lol. Good luck with the front

It took you three hours to swap a front. LOL What were you doing, sleeping for two and a half? You fail.
There is nothing to splice, you have extra wires when you remove the popups. Just solder the new wires in.
LOL

Oh, did I mention silvia fronts are gay and pointless? Even worse than that are sileighty's.

OP: If you want it done and done right I'll do it for a low price. I'm 15 minutes from you.

hahah.
