What is the biggest difference between the S14 and the S14a? The mean looking headlights of course. www.bomexaero.com has a peice that mounts on the hood that makes S14 headlights look just like S14a lights. The peice lists for $190 and here is a pic -> http://www.bomexaero.com/images1/s14/ad139.jpg
Hope this helps some of you looking for a inexpensive way to do that.

looks like somebody glued a cleverly-shaped 2x4 onto the hood <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Yeah - that Bomex thing looks awful. &nbsp;The front of the 95-96 s14 is so nice and flowing... until you put that zit on it. &nbsp;It doesn't look so bad in pictures, but when you see it from other angles...

i just think the 95-96 front ends go really nice w/ the car, i actually like it better than the slant eye look just cuz of how it goes w/ the rest of the car, just my opinion though.

i also agree that the 95-96 headlights are better. they'll grow on u eventually if u fix up the front end with the right parts. Personally, I've grown to actually loathe the s14a and s15 fronts. I dunno why.

Yeah I kind know what you mean. Sometimes when I goto college in the morning and I am walking away from my 240, I look back at her and think -what a sexy bitch!. I really do think the front grows on you but I would love to get a new bumper. Other than the bomex kits, do you guys know of any other good body kits? THanks

I wonder if this Omega bumber looks good on a 95-96.

This is for 97-97

i like both s14's, they're both awesome looking. i think the 95-96 deserves angles eyebrows rather than that massive ugly constriction on the front. that gunmetal 240 in the chat forum is a perfect example of what you can make out of a 95-96's front end
