I was wondering what front bumper this is. I took this picture from the coupe vs. HB thread. I think it looks so slick, so clean and low. Thanks

So its the stock silvia k's bumper? Does it have a lip? I just thoght it was aftermarket because it is lower than the rest of the car.

nah, pretty sure its stock...the 89/90 cars have the lower lip, and its lower then the rest of car. SE model s13s have that black lip and its lower then rest of car

doesnt always line up

mark is still around. he drives a hachiroku now, sold the s14 too i think
he goes to drift events here in so cali and that's where i always see him at. never talked to him or anything but seems like a nice guy.

that car was last owned (last time i heard) by a guy up in Washington State, but he was trying to sell it due to a move (back to japan? i forget, it was sometime back).

Not Silvia K's. There are no slits. If anything stock it would be an Aero bumper with a lip molded in. Judging by the size of the intakes (smaller than Aero), I am pretty sure that Apex is right in saying that it is a Bomex piece.

I always loved that car. That was the first pic I ever saw of a 240 with a silvia front end.

How the heck does he always have the coolest wheels! Those reverse mesh one's he's got in that first pic are incredible. SSR?

Same car. Obviously two different bumpers. The second pic is definitely a K's bumper.

yeah your right, i was waaay off. i agree, looks like bomex.

dammit ruf, you know too much.

Haha! I know too LITTLE! I was like "Bomex my ASS..." until I looked on their website. That's one of the nicest S13 bumpers I've seen and it's totally unlike most of the outlandish stuff that Bomex makes.

I agree, cleanest looking S13 bumper, I wonder if the IC pipes would show in the vents on each side. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

Yeah, Mark from SlideSquad's S13 was stupid nice... never cared for the mis-matched rims, but it was still a nice ride. So much so that it compelled me to buy a S13 240SX so I could make myself a Silvia.  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

Anyway, that bumper looks aftermarket, as others have already pointed out. Not an aero cus of the lip, and not a K's cus it has a vent on the left side (K's only have vents on the right side).

Q's have no vents.
