I think most people like the Silvia front end not because it looks good, but because it is what it is…JDM. Not trying to be cliche or anything. I know everyone has different tastes but can you honestly say that a stock 180sx with a silvia front end looks a lot better than a stock 180sx? God help our club. For we do not know what we are doing. ---

Silvias look better than sil-80s, but having both is best. Also, bensons car looks like ass because it has an 89-90 240sx lip on a silvia front end, side skirts, then no rear aero. Mirrors, a-pillars and roof painted red. That white car that is now some hard parker poser, it has front and side full fiberglass kit, but no rear aero. And the grill painted white is ugly. This is why these cars don’t flow for shit. ---

I don’t think its the point of having a siliva front end, of being “JDM” but, some people actually prefer it. In some cases its more aggressive, which people do have a taste for. I love the classic pop up style, but I will be going silvia front end. I personally love the way it flows with a hatch, It also portrays that “agressive” look much more in person… Case in point, Chris (konvokiller)'s hatch. When I saw it in many pictures, it didn’t seem like much but when I first met him, and his car last year, the front end grew on me. Not to mention the headlights really do make the car. I prefer bricks\>projectors ---

This is why these cars don’t flow for shit. Way to ruin the thread, Ed, why can’t you give appropriate constructive criticism. Sure, I’m not saying you have to like Benson’s car, that’s a moot point. BUT, why couldn’t you have said: “If I owned Benson’s car, I’d remove the 89-90 240sx lip, add rear aero and repaint the car… give the car better flow and visual appeal…” Stop being a dick, it’s not a good “online” trait to have. ---

I agree with Martino about not getting a silvia front end to be jdm. If I wanted to be jdm I’d get a full jdm 180 and then put a silvia front end on it they’re dirt cheap anyways. I personally think the silvia front on a hatch looks much better because I dislike the popups. I think the sil80s and 40s look better than the silvias because I really dislike the coupes. The hatch flows so much better in my opinion and the silvia front really sets it off. I’ve seen Chris’ car (my brother’s car) from the beginning and the silvia front end just improved it so much, even looking at it in the rearview mirror in traffic it was a huge improvement. And dual projectors \> brick style (another opinion) no headlights at all \> triple projectors lol I’d rather drive around blind then run the triples ---

my opinion, there’s no better match than: brick headlights, gtr grille, decent oemish fr bumper on a coupe. to make it even better, overfenders/wide fr fenders with deep dish meshies and that to me is as good as it gets for the S13 gen. rocket bunny s13 coupe pretty much sums up the dream s13 for me. i think projectors work better for a sil80 setup imo. flares for hatches, overfenders for coupes…ftw ---

as for my green car, the reason why it was sold was i wanted to start with a new car/new sr and no rust, turns out i bought a 180sx. As for the silvia front end. I will be putting one on. I dislike the light quality of the pop up’s, also if you put hid’s in the pop ups you blind everyone. At least with me putting Dual projectors and hid’s its not really…as bad. all and all, the 180 will have a silvia front end. ---
