Ok I just recently add the greddy lip to my Zenki and add the Kouki Side skirts.
I have a local guy selling a Vertex Rear bumper, Now I Search all over google and I havent found what im looking for.
What will flow with the Kouki Sides for the rear ? The local member hasnt post pics of the vertex rear , Could the rear be too much with the side skirts?
Or should I just go with a Kouki Rear bumper and find the optional rear lip add ons ?

kouki side skirts suck, the zenki ones look much better, and will allow you a much bigger range of choices

yeah well I dont have a choice now , I live in FL and All the parts are in Cali , I was lucky I even found Kouki sideskirts let alone trying to find anything JDM or zenkis...
In any case I just spent the half hour looking thru the fourms and trying to find something that match.. need some more opinions

use some rear valences..get the Gracer ones if you keep the usdm rear bumper. if you get the jdm rear get the jdm rear valences.
an aftermarket rear bumper with oem skirts would look goofy

Well I wanted to see if any memebers or anyone had pictures side by side comparsion Vertex with the Kouki Side skirts.
Ive seen the gracer ones and I dont care for it that much.. I was just hoping that maybe the Vertex might flow with the Kouki side if there is a slight chances...if not then I gotta fine a jdm rear and the optional valence

the problem is you're trying to piece together something while also being cheap
there are no skirts that flow well with the Greddy lip, either kouki or zenki. Tough cookies.
There isn't really an aftermarket rear bumper or lip that flows with the kouki sides. All aftermarket stuff hangs way, way lower; just looking at pictures should have told you that.
Next time, don't buy parts because they're cheap or "available". Get 'em because it's what you really want + quality
If you want a JDM rear, they pop up fairly ofteon on ebay and Zilvia For Sale. Otherwise hit up any of the importers, JSpec.com or PandaGarage.com

UMMMMMMMMM OKKK? I dont see how the Greddy Front Zenki Lip , Kouki Sides right now are cheap ???? Im not being Cheap Im asking for opinions to flow with the side skirts for the REAR , Oblivously the JDM K rear bumper and Rear Valence will Flow with the Kouki Side skirts....
I have no idea where you got Cheap or Available from... I was asking if the Vertex rear would hang too low , Oblivously you dont know the answer either.
Mods can close thread , Found what im looking for anyways

Greddy lip hangs lower than stock kouki sides. They do not flow at all. Also, the greddy lip has sharp edges, the kouki sides has softer, rounder lines.

+1 to option
doesn't flow at all
best match for greddy lip is greddy sides... no surprise there.

He speaks the truth. The greddy sides are around $500 though.

the dark color and raked stance do a good job of hiding how they don't flow
whatever floats your boat
the v-tun'd lip matches WAY better

I was gonna buy one of his V-tun'd S13 lips but he disappeared from the forums. I liked his lips they are very nice. (Car lips not his actual lips, lol)

duffman's car works b/c of the tilted stance and dark aero.
a local had greddy lip and kouki skirts, kouki rear, down on silks, meisters, roll and pull and level stance. it looked goofy and he got rid of it real quick. my 2 cents.

Intro price at 165.00.
Yes sits slightly higher than OEM (OEM lip IMO scrapped a lot if your car is slammed to the ground). It sits equal length to the 97-98 side skirts.
