Default S15 conversion opinions

I'm currently building a 1990 240sx hatchback with a rb26 going in very soon. I don't have a front bumper or headlights so I figure I might as well do a S15 conversion. I'm thinking about going with yashio factory or vertex. Which should I choice? Does anyone know of any other kits that would look nice on my car? Also does anyone know of any good body/paint shops around eastern va or anywhere in maryland?

There's a guy soemwhere on here with a white S13 with the front S15 conversion. I forgot his name though. I'm sure one of the 240 freaks will know it.

i personally dont like any conversion fronts on the fastbacks, stick with the flips, get some kouki tails and a vertex kit and youll be money, those version selct kits are nice also

I've always been partial to stock S15 with GReddy lip. Version:Select kits are replicas of real kits (and are of decent quality), so you should look into those too.

Ive only seen ONE fastback with a 97-98 s14 front end on it. Sex...The S15 conversion has gotten old in my opinion, not awe inspiring any more. But thats just me.

I've seen afew pics of kouki s14 fronts on a fastback, most are godawful, but it's nice if done right with agressive aero and whatnot.

Well one reason I want to do it is basically just to get into a magazine that I like but I've seen a conversion with a vertex kit and it was hot as shit so that is why i'm having a hard time deciding. I've never seen one with a yashio kit so I might try that out since I love the way the pink S15 looks. I really wish you could drive S15's in the states otherwise I woulda just bought the real thing so I'll settle for the next best thing.
