so im in a bit of a delima right now....i have 93 coupe that ive put a kouki 180 front and side skirts on...and now im stuck for the rear
i bought some kouki rear valances and sent them out to be converted to fit the coupe because the coupes rear end is a bit longer than the hatches...well i blew my money on nothing due to the guy i sent them to bolloxed em up pretty good...im currently working on fixing them to fit my rear bumper myself but i get a bad feeling theyre going to turn out not so well
ne who...G-Grow use to make a rear valance setup for the S13 coupe that mimicked the kouki body lines for the stock aero and i was pumped about ordering one...come to find out they went out of business about 6 months before i found out about their valance...which was a real kick in the teeth cause it would have been the 100% easy solution
so im stuck right now...either spend the obnoxious amount of man hours with bondo and fiberglass in my garage getting itchy and dusty....OR having a mature conversation about body kits on here
ive been looking on the web at rear ends for the S13 coupe...i came across ONE that looks like it MIGHT work..however i cant find a pic of it off hand right now (i know the rear bumper was mounted on a blue coupe) and id rather not spend 300-400 bux and find out it doesnt fit right
ive tried a few rear bumpers that friends of mine have purchased to try their fitment and continuation of body lines with the kouki side skirts and the bumpers usually A)sit too low to follow the body lines or B)wont fit where my exhaust is because of the canister angle (i have a 5Zigen ProRacer catback and i REALLY dont feel like chopping up the body kit or rewelding a very expensive exhaust)
if ne one has any suggestions and pics of aftermarket rear bumpers for the S13 coupe matched with the kouki side skirts actually mounted on the car or has ne advice...id really appreciate it...this is becoming a big pain in the ass
(btw...ive had a set of S13 Silvia rear valances but they dont look good with kouki aero...i sold em a long time ago on here)
