dude like 2wicked said search man
read tuner mags

ive seen supra tails on an eclipse

why dont u think about how many s15 front conversions go on to the 240sx

and yes if u got the money buy the lights from a junkyard, online, or dealer

go to a realiable body shop

ask them how do i get these on here

ask them how much

shell out the cash and get it done

post the pics here and say "check out my ride"

teach us not ask "how do i do this" without reasearching and trying urself

But you CAN NOT slap them on like you are trying to say

what r u getting at may i ask?
why would u want to make the camry anything like the es300?
if ur looking for a soft ride a slightly more expensive alternative just buy a es300 and work on that

they roll on the same chassis and engines are virtually the same

it's straight bolt on...

you can get the 2nd gen ES, you need the body panels from the A-pillar, forward...

and there's no need for sarcasm...

he answered the question that was posted..

once someone else posted a bit more info, then the others replied with why...

but that wasnt part of the original question...


also, this question has been posed many times before, and is becoming similar to "CAI" and "O/D-ECT" threads...

a little bit of searching would have answered his question, and many more..

this is getting ridiculous- i know its irritating to have people asking the same questions over and over... but now its turning into flaming- which is both unnecessary and irritating in itself. starting to wonder where TN is headed...

i dont think this question has ever really been altogether clarified, and wont be until someone in north america actually gives it a shot! ive seen one ES conversion and it was on a red gen 3 wagon in a foreign country- looked so badass!! maybe someone should step up and try this out. who knows- maybe it will all bolt up, but then again, maybe it wont

technically it'll bolt right on...

headlights, hood, fenders and front bumper's what is needed...

but seeing as aftermarket ES300s parts are hard to find (and OEM parts cost an arm and a leg, and in some cases, a testicle) many people are afraid...

i see it as an S13 240SX-->S13 Silvia front end conversion...

it all bolts up with little modification...


of course that's just my theory, what do you guys think..?

almost... the doors wont line up with the es fenders, and the fenders will have to be chopped and formed to fit up to the pillar too. otherwise, bolt on.
