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

Jordn · 08-15-2008, 08:27 AM

I've got a personal dilemma I'm facing at the moment. I have an s13 coupe which is being rebuilt over winter using either a subtle BN Sports/M-Sports or Origin Stylish kit with F&R overfenders.

I have to choose between going 'onevia' and running supermade lights and a custom bonnet as below [I have bought this guy's setup as it sits there]-

Or keeping with the Silvia front end [twin brick].

This is the full car as it sits now.

I'm really torn as I like both and the result won't determine my decision but I'm interested to hear what other people think.

Flicktitty · 08-15-2008, 08:40 AM

both look good, but i've always been a brick guy.

shishcabobers · 08-15-2008, 09:09 AM

I like your silvia front end but why not try onevia because you haven't done it on your car yet. Maybe you'll end up liking it more. Than the other.

nismo tuned s14 · 08-15-2008, 09:52 AM

I'd say try the onevia front end because it's different and not too many people have it. If you don't like it, you can always go back to the silvia front.

240cracker · 08-15-2008, 10:56 AM

keep your bricks and sell me your onevia front hahah

i just got rid of bricks i was guna go pop up with kid but that looks pretty sick.

if u want to sell let me know for reals.

Z33dori · 08-15-2008, 10:59 AM

Tenchuu · 08-15-2008, 03:03 PM

Z32. end of story.

for worst front end conversion ever. be special and unique.

240cracker · 08-15-2008, 04:00 PM

looks like to many ppl are hating on thoughs supermade lights...

gotta sell em to me ahha

xblack240x · 08-16-2008, 02:40 AM

Haha I've always been a fan of the bricks... But since you had it already try out the supermade lights... As mentioned you might like them better, and if not you can go back...

Jordn · 08-16-2008, 03:53 AM

I could try both, the only problem is my kit will be coming from Japan with front fenders too so swapping back and forth isn't an easy option. Especially as I'll have to order my kit fairly soon.

I'm leaning towards keeping the bricks and selling on the supermade stuff at the moment [most likely in the UK as the xchange rate probably won't encourage US guys to want to purchase].

Wish I had two S13s to do both! :wack:

NiSmo240luvR · 08-20-2008, 01:27 AM

i like onevias a lot, but to me, the supermade headlights only look good on a really aggressive car. so with your choice of kits, id probably stay with the bricks.

if you were gonna use regular pop ups though, i think i might be torn. good luck.

Taco_401 · 08-29-2008, 10:31 AM

bricks all the way

TqMnster · 08-29-2008, 01:01 PM

If I had an s13 I'd do the onevia. Looks mean as hell like that. Brick style looks outdated I think.

worangejuice · 08-29-2008, 01:39 PM

keep yer bricks brosive. I know onevia's are all the rage across the pond, but the bricks are solid. I know, I've contemplated going back to a flipup setup just out of sheer boredom. Keep the Silvia front.

***Future240*** · 08-29-2008, 02:56 PM

crap I voted onevia by accident (yes I know tard mistake). Stay silvia, the bricks are sezy

Mister.E · 08-30-2008, 11:12 PM

silvia front, im not really feelin the look of the custom hood with the supermade lights. your car looks badass like it is now.

240sxvaj · 09-04-2008, 10:57 PM

you should keep your honda accord front end it looks nice :P
ahahhaahahha keep the bricks its the best! IMO

Rayne · 09-05-2008, 03:58 PM

Between those two choices, I say flip a coin. I have already give you a suggestion concerning front end swaps.

TheMissingRat · 09-21-2008, 07:18 AM

kaking · 10-08-2008, 02:18 PM
