Hippo Sleek RARE S13 lighted Silvia center Grille

[Autopilot54]

This is THE rare Hippo Sleek lighted grille. I tried searching google and zilvia, and was not able to find any for sale, ANYWHERE! Also, as I wasnt able to find any for sale, I wasnt able to get a good feel on pricing. My understanding is that this was orignally an msrp of 50,000yen, however is now discontinued and almost impossible to find.

The asking price is $600 obo (please note the OBO). I know its on the higher side for a grill, but if you can find it elsewhere for cheaper then feel free to buy it from your source and keep your hater comments to yourself.

I am willing to accept offers, within reason or trade (+cash) depending on what you have. **There isnt much I need

Looking for:
ARC radiator (S13 - Sr20det) *not interested in other radiators
MAYBE a vented silvia (s13) hood - let me know what you have.
JWT G35 clutch
LAKERS tickets

This is BRAND NEW to my knowledge as the wiring is still untapped and I dont see any rock chips. There are minor knicks/wear (pictured), however from what I can tell, I DO NOT believe it is from being on the road/track.

I added a temporary wire to hook it up to a battery and get a picture of this lit up - pretty awesome!

I am in no hurry to sell this, as I wouldnt mind using it myself, however I am strapped for cash as I am sure most of you are, and I have other cars that need a little more TLC than me sitting on parts Im not using.

Again, feel free to shoot offers. If I dont get much of a response on here, I will probably try posting on [email protected]

Thanks for looking

and the pics...

You can find complete front ends for $500 if you wanted to, but none will include this grille.

msrp is 50,000yen if my source informed me correctly, which means retail is $530 USD - if you add tax+shipping youre looking at about $600 either way. (and that is if you are able to find this for sale anywhere)

**If anyone has documentation/proof that msrp is significantly lower, I will be happy to lower the asking price

Also, I realize this is a lot for most people, which is why I stated that in the original listing above. This is truly a piece that can be appreciated and I thought Id give zilvians a first run at it.. otherwise it will get whored out for sale elsewhere. lol

Google Japan (http://www.google.co.jp/)

Try that and google again, you're source was off, not by a huge amount, but they are off enough to make a price difference.

Super sweet piece though, either way with the wait its worth the price.

[DDDsquad_s13panda]

WOAW. wtf google japan, that shit is JDM yo!.. lolx

dude this would look sick with that matching coupe window that lights up too forsale somewhere here.

[RP El Fresco]

lmfao wasnt there a guy selling it for 100

[Pirate_Freder]

iirc, RP EL Fresco, you're probably referring to a fake that was FS a while back.

[DDDsquad_s13panda]

yea i believe it was a fake one, cuz he said something about making them or some shit like that.

[NISMO_tuner]

actually a guy was selling a real one for $100 shipped.
it sold within minutes. i was in line, but my paypal wasnt working =/
it wasnt as clean as this one though.
$600 is ok I guess, since it's rare and new, but I wouldn't pay so much for a grille.

Is this made by Nissan?

Hippo Sleek/URAS^^^

[bewst pewp]

is this the same company that makes the light up sun visors, third brake light, and door sills?


it's really neat but i'd have to get an entire soet of the light up stuff in order to rock this. if not it'd look ricey

[Autopilot54]

I added to my potential trade list. Lakers ticket holders - please let me know what you have ;)

[Autopilot54]

bump before posting elsewhere.. will consider reasonable offers

[crazy_kat_matt]

wow, i didnt think these sold for that much. i just sold one not too long ago on here for way less.

[Jtuned_andy]

I'll take the initiative and offer you 300$ shipped, you can message me when you are ready to sell I have cash waiting.
