S15 Conversion... In your profession Opinion..
All,
In your professional opinion... Who are your suggested -*IhaveDoneThisBeforeAndItWasGood*- vendors for S14->S15 frontend conversion and SR20DET? I want something that is going to fit, the first time, and an expereinced SR20 vendor who will include everything I will need ...I installed a trailer hitch from an F-150 into my face last week... needless to say it did not fit and new front end body work is needed... [I'm driving a 96 240sx] Thanks!! steve |

Steve, look at the top of the screen. See the skinny dark blue bar? See the 7th button over? It says SEARCH. Start there.

but...life dosent have a search button?
from what i understand do NOT get inner circle...they blow i heard version select stuff fits well...i donno if they make conversion fenders in my opinion, if you want a conversion, do the Kouki and then do an HID retrofit... 1. it will be metal and fit better 2. it flows better cuz that's what the front end is made for 3. kouki's w/ HID's are the sex

what i never understood is people bash on the conversion fenders becuz they are fiberglass. what doe sit matter when people buy fiberglass fenders that are 20mm wider, yet i never hear anything about that. aaron had 20mm aboard fenders, nobody said anything about "whoa." IC fenders are fiberglass as well and 20mm wider too. i guess you havent seen s15s with HIDs yet. |

I think Ian (MainEvent212) was talking about fitment, not the material the fenders are made out of. S15 with HIDs are hawt too. |

Masa and to a lesser extent IC, are what I'd recommend.
on the fiberglass thing, I think most people that complain is cuz they have hte crappy VIS/GTP ones, the FG is so thin on those it's amazing, hope u don't even lean on your car |

really? (i don't have the conversion nor will i have one done anytime soon)
but i thought the IC fenders were pretty good in terms of fitment? also, where do you guys get masa stuff? i don't think i've seen vendors selling them as much i've seen cwest, IC, ings, bomex, veilside, doluck, vertex... |

you're in so cal and dont know where to get masa stuff? this just shows how hard it is to get masa conversion fenders and that they dont come around everyday.. thats because thse fenders cost 500+ and most shops choose not to carry them because 240 ppl are cheap and they can be better off using that space to carry items that move.
anyways. i guess ill say it lik everyone else has.. "any good importer can get it for you. try jspec or raretrick. if they can get xxx brand and xxx brand for sure they can get masa. jus give them an email!" so does anyone know if someone imports masa fenders on a regular basis or can really get it? havent heard stories of jspec or raretrick being able to get them. where did all you guys get your masa? only ppl i heard on the forum who has real masa is 'sizooooooo', xavier (white s14.5 with zenki sides and greddy lip from sac area), and enjuku racing. care to share where you guys got your masa? |

I know Xavier got his from Sam at Jspec. $550 i believe and took bout 2-3 months cuz it was on a damn boat. I saw how that thing fitted, compared to the GTP he had before *teh suckette* the masa one pretty much bolted up. Almost looking stock cuz there were absolutely no wierd gappage anywhere *specially around the headlights* For some reason GTP seems to make fenders or sideskirts that seem to be just an inch shorter than they should be.

i read the s13->s15 conversion (by yoshi I believe) using the IC fenders, he had the same problems I had with my cheap ebay fenders(using spacers to get hood height and such), maybe the IC fenders are sturdier, but ALL fenders will require some sort of body work.
$200 ebay shit: they fit alot better than i thought Dark, but it all lined up with the trusty dremel

while this does seem to be an incredibly attractive mod (and anyone saying otherwise a homo) it really seems like it shouldn't cost this much. i really think this kid is better off just buyin a headlight and hood or whatever he broke instead of trying to fit what will ultimately be a nightmare for his fragile mind.

Well i have real MASA that i got from Sam at Jspec.com they cost me about 700 shipped and took about 10 months to get because of some shiet but i didnt care cause i was in boot camp. Anyways i've wasted a lot of money on a lot of combinations and MASA are the BEST fenders for the conversion IMO. here are some pix................
here is GTP fibercrap... here is halfoem metal(back) half GTP(front) BAD COMBO!!...... And the best MASA (mind the car looks like shit rite now i had an accident).. THEY ARE PRETTY WIDE... SORRY FOR ALL THE PIX HOPE THIS CLEARS SOME SHIET UP, IF YOU NEED MORE PIX JUST ASK
