180SX Uras Type-2 vs. kouki Type-X (where did the Type-XXX thread disappear to?)

[Matej]

Hello.
Does anyone on here know anything about the Uras Type-2 aero, particularly the front bumper? I have emailed a few stores that have it listed on their websites, but so far I have not heard back from any of them.
The bumper looks identical to a kouki Type-X bumper, minus the Nissan badge indentation. I have been wondering if it is a replica, or if Uras sold an OEM Type-X bumper as a part of the Type-2 aero package. I am also curious if it comes with the lip included if it is in fact detachable/OEM, and possibly the fender extensions, which would be nice.
Would anyone happen to have any insight on this?

Anyone?
Thank you.

No idea. I do not have it in my possession, but I am strongly considering purchasing it. Just not sure what would actually arrive in the box.

I don't know for sure, but I'm willing to bet it's all one piece.

well i dont know if its Uras

but the fiberglass felt different from others i had before. this is more flexible

also this bumper has really good fitment close to oem even with zipties

only thing it had was couple waves. getting it perfect for black paint.

notice where the fender meets the bumper

the line where the 180sx "tape" goes is extended into the bumper

this is how you can tell the difference

Interesting. Not sure if that is it though. The bumper in the demo pictures uses the kouki fender extensions, or at least is made very convincingly to look like it uses them, while yours wraps all the way around, from what I can tell.
Unless of course Uras used pictures of a car with an OEM kouki bumper instead of their actual product, which would not be surprising either.

Heh, a google search of "URAS 180sx type 2" brings this thread up as the first result.

Everything else is just the typical Type 4 stuff that everyone has.
