4 to 5th gen front end conversion
Why would you do this?
I've seen 5th gen eBay projectors and hood thrown onto a 4th gen and it just didnt look right.
Not sure if the roundness of the 5th gen front end would look good with the squarish 4th gen rear end..

thing is i sold my red se-l ...mad that i did. bought a 01 sick lookin..but auto. -_-. and now im getting a 95 w a 06 vq35 swap...uses 3.0 trans harnes and ecu tho. lol only problem is its got that ugly 95 front end.
Ay what's wrong with a '95-'96 front end?
I love mine.
Work with it like I did. I have '97-'99 headlights/corners (soon to be J30 retro with white CCFL angel eyes in black housed '95-'96 headlights with clear glass lenses
), clear bumper lights and a front lip.

a lil ot, for the ccfl's use one of those computer fans with the halo around them and wire it up! theyve got like 5 different colors instead of just white! would look pretty hawt! whos doin your retro?
i think last year or so someone posted up a pic of a 4th to 5th swapp.trust me its a no no + a properly set up 4th gen frontend can look just as sexy as a 5th gen frontend just look at some of these sig pics

n Chris, I think your one of few that still rep the 95-96 that actually look good!

But nah I don't need 5 colors, only need white to match with my LEDs in the corners. You won't even see the portion that doesn't light up because of my eyelids. Bought the headlights pre-retro'd and I'm finishing up the work.
guess im going 99 then lol. the rear has 99 stuff on it already. i had the a33 style headlights. the one that has a seperate bulb for highbeams with the black housing...well hell why am i explaining its in my sig pic on my 99 max. lol
for some reason the 95 96s dont look too agressive you know. maximas are sick cars but it takes a little good looks to impress the people who dont know anything about cars. put a max next to a is300..dumb blond is gonna wet her panties for the lexus....the funny part is the max will eat that little turd driven by some d bag jock whose parents bought it for him lol
I don't know if I am a hardcore 97-99 front end only kind of guy, but I like BOTH the 95-96 and 97-99 front end. Each one has its unique style, I really like the way the grille looks on the 95-96 but I don't like the bumper (i.e. fog light holes and such)
Hmmm....... since we are on the topic of putting different front ends on our cars. Is it possible to put a 240SX front end on our 4th gens? Maybe just headlights and the hood and possibly fenders too. And yes, this is a serious question.
a S13 Silvia front end or S14 might work though, S14 is more rounded though
Yeah, there is a 1997 S14 in my college that the school shop uses for practice
And I was parked right next to it one day and I looked at our 4th Gens and the 240 and there were a lot of similar things. Like the headlights look almost the same as ours except its more slanted and has projectors but more or less similar.
I don't know but I've always thought our 4th gens look really similar to the S14 and now that I've seen them side by side, they actually do look similar in many ways. But the main thing I was thinking was that the 240SX looks awesome with body kits and so maybe if we could somehow fit those kits onto our cars... then...
I think I should just go out and buy a 240SX instead of trying to turn my car into a 240 haha.
