Mixing aero? Specifically Works9 and Uras Type-GT

[Quail]

Hey guys. I've really got my heart set on a Uras Type-GT rear bumper & diffuser for my car. The problem is, I've currently got Works9 on there. Do you think the Works9 front and sides will look out of place with the Type-GT rear?

Heres the rear that I want:

And heres what my car looks like from the rear atm:

Im not keen on the Type-GT front, so ideally I'd like to stick with Works9. What do you think? Yay or nay?

[Dousan_PG]

no
your car looks fucking HOT as it is
leave it be!


spend money on better wheels.

[Quail]

Thanks man. I do want better wheels too!

[dori_sil8t]

im with dousan on this one.

[allntrlundrgrnd]

word, your car looks clean as a whistle as-is. get some sexy wheels to compliment your car

[Quail]

OK, thanks guys! I think I can see a trend forming!

[BorHor]

The 2 kits have their own aggressive looks so they probably won't work too well together. +1 for keeping it as is and getting baller wheels

[gotta240]

The rear bumper of that white car is fucking hideous. Leave what you have.

[HyperTek]

nooo you got a parachute rear bumper just like the rest of everybody with a modern bodykit!! hahah

i been curious about cutting out a portion of the lower rear so air doesnt get scooped up and dragged around back there how would it look etc...

[silnismo]

yea, your rear ends is good as its is. The only thing i recommend that would complete your rear end more would be a roof wing.

i actually prefer your rear end then the white one, looks way too complicated and expensive.

[Quail]

Thanks for the opinions guys. Yea roof wing is on the cards :).

[ESone3]

they do not go together at all. The side skirts have a curve, as the Uras is more of a straight/flat design.

[YoungGun]

no
your car looks fucking HOT as it is
leave it be!

+infinity .

[idahotuner]

your car does look good. i would leave it alone.

[240drifter1]

Take the wheels off the white one and put them on yours, and that would be sex.

Love your car.

[JDMSTYLE]

wheels ftw!

your car is super clean.

[azndoc]

Yeah that's just a bad idea.

Why fix something if it ain't broke.

Plus that GT rear shit is ugly IMHO.

Like the old man says. Get the wheels.

[EDacIouSX]

rear diffuser is pretty cool. i want one but with oem rear. your car does look pretty nice though. i don't dig that wavy thing at the tip of the rear bumper towards the wheel well but other than that, kit is cool. and its way better than the uras type gt rear bumper thats for sure.

[dops13]

Better wheels and slam that shiet.

[status:one]

keep your aero the way it is! it's very tasteful.

[racepar1]

I personally don't like the low hanging rear bumpers. I think it will look fine with your front and sides, but I think a stock rear bumper with a bolt-on diffuser would look better.

[99maxgtr]

Im with everyone else about the wheels...Seriously think about it what's the point of having "nice" aero with out the ballin ass rims to match. Wheels make a car stand out more anyways IMO.

[Full-Lock]

yea just get some different wheels and go a lot lower and your car will look perfect.

i really like that color with the works9

[khmer1]

like that guy said wheel makes the car stand out like crap just like how mines is with pink wheels on a black s13 hatch

+1 GET BALLER RIMS

[Ian]

get better rims and drop it 2.5-3"

[LS240]

URAS Type GT is by far my favorite aero for any S chassis car period, so I say go Type GT all the way around. :coolugh: LOL.

Seriously how can you not love this?:

I could definitely not love the bill at the end! Other than that I like it.

+1 couldn't agree more

[clark]

yea daddy likes as is

i was gonna def say roof wing when i saw the first pic.

i vote for better wheels and roof wing!

[Quail]

OK, thanks for the input guys! I think I will put the money towards wheels. I like the RP01s, but I need some dish. Unfortunately wheels out here cost something stupid :(

Get one of the guys off this site to get you some?? either new or used lots of guys on here that can help

[Quail]

I've tried mate, but the shipping to England is insane! Usually around 50% the cost of the wheels!

[kuruptR]

I think it will look fine as some one has done something similar with a s13 silvia. Uras GT kills it. Get both, new wheels and kit, every one and there dingdong has a big kit like that.

[dongoesby]

I'm not in the trend! The rear looks exactly like the Gallery's new S15. I always like such GT rear design in oppose to the every parachute-like rear trend you see in every silvia. If this Uras Type GT comes with silimar wide body fender front and rear like Gallery's S15, it would look very interesting!!

or you can see the way our member, Full-Lock, deal with his rear. I think it is nice too!

[Bushido]

just for the record:

Uras GT kits are total ass spec.

Yeah, I noticed a lack of low offset wheels when I was there, haha.

It seems a lot of the boys over there are into multispoke wheels w/ high offset, always kinda threw me for a loop. What about something from BBS? They're a little more local to you...right across the Channel and through Europe's punching bag...

[Matej]

In my opinion the rear of that S14 looks awesome, it'll work if you also get a wing, and drop your car more.

[lflkajfj12123]

this has been stated but

jdm kouki wing

and wheeeeels!

[sldbyuramg]

sorry but i think that diffuser looks like crap...i would keep your car as is and get undertrays...unless you were getting a diffuser for aesthetic purposes only. just my .02

[mangoes]

dude your color is so siickk! like the others have said, just get some sexy wheels =D!

the uras kit would be a bit too much for a street car.

[issac]

I say go for it. Everyone else wants to see the same thing over and over again. It looks good IMO. Rock the fuck out of it, and if all else fails put the old one back on. If you think it looks good then it does...........who cares what we think. Get some flush wheels and call it done.

A lot of guys over here don't know about proper wheel fitment, but quite a lot do as well.

Im running et-3 on the rear atm. Heres a couple of the guys in my owners club that have nice wheels:

Hardly anyone over here gets proper low offset wheels though, unlike on Zilvia. Everyone and their mother owns Rota P45Rs in 17x9.5 +30. The drift guys and a few of us other owners are trying to educate and spread the word about proper wheels though (I will own some baller-spec Works one day). People are just scared of a bit of archwork :loco:. I've had a couple sets of nice Works, but I wasn't happy with the condition of them:

But anyway, to get back on topic, cheers for all the feedback guys. I've decided it would be a bit wasteful to buy another piece of aero when I'm already happy with mine, so I'm going to put the money towards some wheels :). If I had another kouki though, I'd definitely be tempted to go full Uras-GT spec on it :D
