View Full Version : CA S14 kouki Autech MF-T front bumper *RARE||SoCal ONLY*

I'm looking to offload my MF-T bumper. I don't need 2 bumpers for one car, and I don't foresee myself buying another kouki S14 anytime soon, so it's time for this one to hit the bricks.

I WILL NOT SHIP. I'm located in the Inland Empire / aka BroCal, and am willing to meet anyone from LA / SD / High Desert halfway.

Potential buyers WILL BE VETTED. I'm not selling this rare item to Johnny Douchebag who will stuff it into a mountain in 2 weeks trying to impress his boyfriends. I'd sooner keep it than see it sold to someone I don't think would appreciate it.

If you're still interested at this point, here are the pictures:


From the Autech catalog. OEM colors were ONLY purple, white or red.

I haven't done anything with it since, so add a layer or two of dust to that and you've got it's current condition.

There are some minor scratches on the left corner, but it's nothing that wouldn't be repaired during a repaint anyway.

The grilles and signals are, of course, included. This should be obvious, but I'd just as soon preemptively answer it.

I have not tested the lights to find out whether or not they work, but I see no reason why they shouldn't.


I'm asking $650 for it.

Yes, it's a large sum.
Yes, friends I trust will definitely get it for less.
No, I won't take drugs/sexual favors/stab wounds in payment.

Why so much? I'll spell it out (you're welcome).


To recoup my investment
To prevent cheapass idiots from screwing it up because it was cheap. Nobody wants to fuck up a $650 bumper.
Duh. It's RARE. I'm not talking 'Final Konnexion bodykit' rare. I'm talking 'there MIGHT be 5-10 of these bumpers in North America, MAYBE'. I only know of 2 others.
Asshole tax. :s101:


If you're interested, feel free to PM me with a picture and buildout of your current car, and pics of any past cars you have. 'Splain to me why you think you'd be a good owner of this bumper. Who knows? If I like you, I might just give you a discount.

Any negative nancies will be smited, and all gripes will be submitted to the circular filing receptacle.

I'm just fine with keeping this if I can't find a suitable buyer.
I'd just as soon have some garage space back.

I'm curious...what's the difference between this bumper and a regular jdm bumper? The shape looks about the same and the grille looks the same. The only difference I see is the signal lights.

The difference between the bumpers is pretty straightforward.

First, all of these Autech MF-T bumpers started their lives as genuine Nissan kouki Silvia bumpers.

Next, Autech, cut the bumpers precisely to fit their specific grilles.

Then they fitted (what I'm assuming is) BCNR33 turnsignals to those grilles.

They they reinstalled that bumper onto the limited-production MF-T.

As I recall, something like 1500 MF-Ts were produced. If someone has a different number and a source to back that figure up, let me know - I'd hate to provide misinformation. Either way, it was a very limited run, so even IF there are more in the US, it's still rare, period.

no love for the eastcoast? Greyhound ships bumpers for $40 bucks and all you have to do is bubble wrap it. Either way nice item, GLWS

Not about love or hate. More about convenience and lack of pain-in-the-ass for me.

See above. I'd imagine it was on a shelf because they asked a significant sum for it. Panda Garage, I presume?

I'll be getting back to you.

does that mean you need an autech grill to make this look proper? if so how hard are those bastards to get?

I can ship for you kevin, but it'll be expensive.
I suggest the out of state buyer buy alot of items at once to combine shipping or
share order with a few friends to save cost.

Just for curiosities sake, is there any type of OEM or aftermarket lip made for these bumpers?

Cudos for giving a rare item the respect it deserves. There are too many cheap 240 bumpers as there is.

This bumper has them - Extras are as hard to find as the bumpers.
Goddammit kevin. You always have to sell good shit when my car is down. Shit, I would love to have this bumper.

Sry duder. Give me a buzz when your car is up - I might still have something ....

The bumper is spoken for, guys!
