I doubt the drag coefficient in each front end plays a significant role, considering how fast most 240SXes are.

IMO having a completely different front end (i.e. Silvia JDM) shows dedication to your car also... unless it's a H/A car who has to put front end parts from other manufacturers just to look different
Thank God there's rarely any Nissans with Honda lights on them. Brand loyalty baby!

I think getting into coeffecients of friction is totally not even close to this dude's question, lol. If you're looking to get rid of the pop ups you can get the eastbear kit, that would be pretty damn rare.

S13 front end is, in a way, a lesser form of attention whoring. Attention whoring can range to higher levels to those with higher dedication to attention whoring. People at HIN are attention ******. They dump more money for this cause. They are more dedicated attention ****** relative to those who arbitarily slap on the S13 Silvia front end.
Need I explain myself further?

I gotcha man... I don't knock the HIN people because I know the time and effort (and of course $$) it takes to build up a show car, but I personally are more of the "driver" type therefore I lean towards function over fashion when it comes to cars. I used to drive a 13-second daily-driven 200SX SE-R with full interior / full audio / street tires, and I know 13's isn't fast nowadays but the only thing on the OUTSIDE that might hint that it's "non-stock" would be my JDM front bumper. Took out a lot of Camaro's and Mustang Gt's that way
I think the JDM front end route would get more attention from those who know what it is than your average person on the street. To them it would be something like, "what's that... hmm." whereas to us it would be more like, "Oooh... Silvia square/2 projector / 3 projector front end".

"Lazy" aka "Sleepy" eyes is when the pop-up headlights only flip up paritally, giving the impresssion of "eyes"(headlights) being half open. This could be achieved manually or electronically, as the electric method would require modification in the circuits. It is a modification affiliated with show purposes only.
IMO, unless you modify the sleepy eyes so you can safely drive at night in that mode, it looks like your car has Down syndrome. No personal offense to those with it of course.
