Why are USA Kouki grill different from one another?

[s14joe]

There seem to be 2 different types...one w/ plastic in the middle and then there are the ones that look totally clean.

No plastic in the middle

With the middle plastic

Whats the deal w/ that? Is it year specific different trims levels or what?

[Ritz S14]

They're the same thing.. Just with painted inner tabs I bet.

[s14joe]

Nah dude, I have seen both types up close and they are different.

[Ritz S14]

Well.. If anything just paint the inner tabs black, and you're set.

[PITCH]

There is only one type. When they get repainted usually the plastic insert isnt masked off. So thats why it stands out on all other kouki's except black. That one up top probably has factory paint.

[s14joe]

Yeah, I hear ya but I'm thinking that might not do it for me. Maybe I will return it and get a JDM one but I'm not sure if that would look right with a USDM bumper cover and lip.

[chmercer]

who cares. paint the tabs black, or cut them off. or whatever. figure it out

an empty hole looks better than that grill, seriously. shits nasty

All it takes is a dremel tool and 60 seconds

[DoriftoSlut]

Well since you don't like the grill, don't just say it to say it. Share what you think looks better.

he is sharing what looks better. no grill at all looks better than USDM grill.

also, that is my version of a stock s14 with rotas. cool

[OptionZero]

is that an old pic of white bunny? if so i think those might be regas not rotas

jdm kouki grill FTW by the way

[ayuaddict]

the USDM bumper is as disgusting as the USDM grille

[Gepeto]

Kouki with lip , skirts, rotas, I don't see what's the problem with thinking that car is hot. It's better than thousands of overdone koukis.

probably so, considering i dont know if rota even makes a slipstream with a lip on it, but, same difference.

Exactly,simplicity and style is the kouki's strength.

It's ok that some people disagree...... opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. :cj:

[DriftKouki]

USDM bumper with lip is almost as sexy as the JDM bumper. Almost. :drool:

maruta-goya says delete that shit then you better do it.

uras n+ comes with grill delete, or it seems there's an optional fang style grill delete (the one thats coincidentally on that maruta-goya s14 above) and is also on the uras version IV demo car. the fang delete or no grill at all fucking rules. oem grill is ugly crapola!

:stupid:

please do. ive been considering this route. im definately keeping the USDM front with a lip. frankly, i think it looks the best. i dont have a grill at the moment. so i need to do one of the other. the gaping hole resulting from not having a grill looks like im a broke-ass. it needs to be replaces as soon as i get the car on the road.

[Dopefish]

I LIKE the US Kouki grill. I also like the JDM Kouki grill. Some of the bumpers, like pictured above have a grill delete that mimics the 99+ Mustang grill style.

I cant afford Kouki yet sadly so I guess I dont have to worry, however my plans are as follows.

US grill, OE JDM bumper + OE amber lamps, OE Zenki skirts and JDM Kouki rear bumper. I dont understand why no one likes the US grill, it looks very nice as long as the rear support tabs are removed or properly masked off before paint.

I thought my health plan was good for giving me $5 pharmaceudicals, but clearly you have even better access to drugs.

For anyone that seems to hate their USDM Kouki grill, I'll give you $5 + shipping for it.
