Factory Bling: The Best OEM Options for the S15 Silvia

 

➡So you've got an S15 Silvia. You've probably heard about the different grades—the turbo-powered Spec-R, the naturally aspirated Spec-S, and the rare Autech Version. But what about the factory options? These weren't just simple add-ons; they were a way to customize your S15 right off the showroom floor, making each car truly unique.

For true enthusiasts, finding a car with these genuine Nissan OEM options today is a treasure hunt. If you're building your dream S15, keeping it period-correct with original parts is a big deal. Let's dive into some of the most sought-after factory options that made the S15 Silvia even more special.

 

1. Wheel Arch Protector

 

The dealer-option wheel arch protector makes the car look more aggressive. It's one of the rarest dealer options available. This protector was offered in two colors: gray metallic and gun metallic. Because these colors were a departure from the body color, few customers selected this option, making it exceptionally rare today.

 

2. Aero Wide View Mirror

 

While popular aftermarket brands like Ganador dominated the market, many don't know that similar aero mirrors were a dealer option for the S15! These mirrors offer perfect fitment and give the car a clean, aggressive look. Finding a car with these factory-installed mirrors is a rare treat.

 

3. Blue Metallic Interior Panel

 

Inside the cabin, the blue metallic panel set is a highly sought-after but fragile option. This set, which includes the center console and door finisher panels, looks incredible, especially when paired with the B Package interior (which features blue door panels and seats). Unfortunately, due to their delicate nature, it’s very hard to find a set in good condition, and they can be quite expensive. A rarer version of this panel set was also available for cars equipped with a factory tweeter.

 

4. Aluminum Interior Trim

 

Several interior options used aluminum to give the cabin a more elegant, sporty feel. The aluminum ventilator rings and pedal covers are popular upgrades that immediately change the interior mood. Even rarer are the aluminum shift finisher and shift knobs, which were only available on 6-speed manual cars. Installing these four aluminum options can truly elevate your S15's interior.

These are just a few of the many cool options that made the S15 Silvia such a customizable car right from the factory. While many of these rare OEM S15 parts are getting harder to find, they're still out there if you know where to look.
