yea well dont forget most people that go for oem aero get it partially because its polyurethane, since they cant handle fiberglass and their vagina starts leaking

its a kia
08-30-2007, 05:44 PM
i hope its cheaper than the oem aero

08-30-2007, 05:46 PM
thats coo

but id probably just use the front bumper and then match with other sides/rears

i dont like the rear 3 piece look

id like to see how low the front hangs

but, correct me if im wrong, but if urethane is damaged..im pretty sure it cant be repaired...and basically your s.o.l. i've heard that plastic (bondo) wont really bond with it..

the bumper is hottness. but im not a big fan of the kouki sideskirts for sure and also i prefer the canadian oem rear valence.

but i guess thanks for the heads up.
i might just get this cuz the other ISH is a lil more hard to source.

version select fits pretty decent with minimal waves even on their overfenders...in my experience at least. im planning on buying the front bumper.

Bushido
08-31-2007, 08:25 AM
I'd be interested in seeing how it would match up with some Vertex sides.

vertex sides and rear are much lower than the front and it looks awkward paired with the oem kouki bumper, even with the lip...
case in point:
http://www.speedtechracing.com/images/media_cars/15/IMG0995.jpg
best match for this if you dont dig the kouki sides is oem chuki 180sx sides, imo.

bummer that they didnt copy a more agressive version of hotroad...

Im running the OEM Chuki sides with OEM Type-X front bumper w/o lip and rear valance. The chuki side match the bumper well and look 10x better than type-X sideskirts. The VS bumper is nice because it doesn't have the plate holder, and doesn't have a big vent for the intercooler, first ive seen like this. I have a full sohc bumper support behind my OEM bumper, you might not be able too with the VS bumper. I really want to find a company that makes a replica Type-X front lip if anyone can find any.

ayuaddict
08-31-2007, 10:10 AM
perhaps gp sports g sonic type II sideskirts? they are a bit more agressive and i imagine they would pair with the bumper better as it has the "lip".

and then i lost my aero on the 14 north on the way to willow....

now i have a replicas of my original on my car....

the oem kouki front even w/ the lip sits way too high for vertex/version select sides which is why i stuck w/ the 3 piece OEM... i hope version select fixed that

I don't think I've seen pictures of the kouki aero with both front and rear overfenders. But heres a pic of kouki aero with front wide fenders. http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb306/HippoChips/post-2-1096301800.jpg
I imagine that rear overfenders would look too bulky with non-aggresive aero. Man, it's about time they came out with the kouki aero replicas. As much as I love the new aggressive styles, this will always be my favorite.

YoungRookie
08-31-2007, 06:45 PM

If I had a coupe it would look exactly like that, Kouki 180 aero, White TEs, 17front18rear. Color looks good too. Don't know what rear I would use though. Get some ganadors also. Oh well, I have a hatch, time to go koguchi style.

but, correct me if im wrong, but if urethane is damaged..im pretty sure it cant be repaired...and basically your s.o.l. i've heard that plastic (bondo) wont really bond with it..

Urethane besides being a lot more flexable and able to withstand a lot more abuse is in fact repairable. There are kits out for doing it. There are also Urethane bumper repair places. I know someone that got a ripped up Kouki bumper back in the day and got it repaired by a bumper shop for $250 it looked brand spanking new.

if you are getting this kit and your car isn't slammed, its not gonna look good. if you are trying to be like koguchi and rolling on sportmax, that's not gonna look good. the front bumper is so high, you don't have to worry about scraping. you will scrap your exhaust before your front bumper

i am selling my front and sides- $350 picked up in houston, tejas. those are bomex side skirts

i did get it from ebay and paid a lot for it. i emailed the seller after i got it and he said he only had one and probably won't get any more.

Check the "how low is Your DD" thread like pg 3-4.

guy on there is running the Full kit.

Looks like it Fits GREAT.Even the Skirts.If you've seen how the OEM Kouki Skirts attach...they are Wacky (Use little Boxes w/ "Christmas Tree" Rivet type deals) and these i don't think mount like the OEM ones do.I had a set and the only Mount using bottom mounts.

08-06-2008, 09:52 PM
hahahaha.

Fitment depends on how much time you're willing to spend on mounting.

If you just drill some holes and spay some paint on it, then of course it will look like shit.

The appealing thing about kouki 180 aero is that it's urithane.

KwKouki
08-06-2008, 10:15 PM
its 3/4s the appeal, the other 1/4 is I love the way it looks. I cant stand flared aggressive aero.
