Kouki 180SX aero thread II

[Matej]

Hello everyone.
Currently I am shopping for the Type-X lip, and here is a list of places I found that still sell it, or at least have it listed on their website.


OEM

Bodykits.biz - 587.48$
- JDM Nissan Parts JDM S13 180sx Kouki Optional Front Lip :: JDM Nissan Parts :: JDM Parts :: Bodykits.biz - www.bodykits.biz (http://www.bodykits.biz/store/cdseo-prod/jdm-nissan-parts-jdm-s13-180sx-kouki-optional-front-lip.html)

The Dori Shop - 525$ (shipped)
The Dori Shop OnLine (http://thedorishop.com/store/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=54&products_id=1313&osCsid=e65064884f44705333f719f724c6a8bf)

Phase2 Motortrend - 399$
OEM Type-X Optional Front Bumper Spoiler (http://www.phase2motortrend.com/tyopfrbusp.html)


Replica

GT-1 - 195.48$
GT-1 Motorsports Kouki Style Front Lip Spoiler RPS13 (http://www.rhdjapan.com/gt-1-motorsports-kouki-style-front-lip-spoiler-rps13-61269)

Modiride - 175$
Modiride - AE86 S13 240sx Body Kits and Aero Parts (http://www.modiride.com/240sx.html)



If you know of any other places, please let me know.
I would prefer to buy the OEM lip, although the cost of the replicas is tempting. GT-1 makes quality products I would assume, does anyone on here have experience with the lip?
Any input is welcome.


Of course feel free to sidetrack this thread and start posting pictures of cool kouki 180SX cars.

[Brian]

I'm willing to bet that the shops that still have it listed just simply have not updated their records.

[Matej]

That is what I am afraid of. I will have to give them a call.

[wh0aitznic0]

If a brand new OEM lip came up for sale before I'm ready to buy SexyStyle, best believe I will jump on it. But in the meantime, dare to dream:

[Matej]

Also, what is the best way to remove and reattach the Nissan emblem on the front bumper? I will need to paint the bumper, but I would like to put the emblem back on afterward.

[mysync]

Im so sad i sold my kit, love the 180 stuff but i want it on a coupe. Onevia ftw

its either double sided taped or clip that hooks on you might need to pinch it with a plier and push out

Just noticed this, do the mounting points for the license plate not line up with US plates?

[Brian]

They are a little different I'm pretty sure.

[Matej]

Bummer. I guess I will redrill the license plate.

[Brian]

It shouldn't be difficult at all, really.

[JdM_JunKiE]

yea mine are ziptied, all though i heard you can use the original tabs(the C clip ones) and flip them the other way or i think pull them open and it works. but dont take my word for it, i heard this from another ziliva head. havent tried it also do to being lazy lol LMK if you try it and if it works :)

Interesting. Will look into that. Thanks for the tip.

[airhead]

its really just the paint that stand a car out.

you can have a primmed up type x
there is no shape to the car everything looks flat.cant see curves nothing.
or even with cheap paint wit not much gloss.

and have a nice painted type x next to it and you can really see the difference

rims size and ofset too

[airhead]

thos clips you can get at ace hardware for like 20cents each.

they also have tamper prof bolts for those who want keep thieves from jacking your lip or watever.

they also have trim bolts that look nice for cheap

My modiride lip almost broke just from putting it on ha ha

[s13drob]

How was the fitment on the modiride? Im thinking about picking one up. You can always reinforce the lip with fiberglass

[JaeTea]

How was the fitment on the modiride? Im thinking about picking one up. You can always reinforce the lip with fiberglass

Fitment is actually good.

Customer service and quality of the lip is totally shit. :down:

No idea why another company doesn't start selling replica lips.

[satal95]

No idea why another company doesn't start selling replica lips.

Probably because no one has actually gone up to a company to ask for it. By the way I just pmed ChaserAero about it. So hopefully they will see we have interest in a replica lip

[ChaserAero]

I'll make it, I'll even do a GB on it so you guys can save some coin. All I need is for someone to find/ get me the lip perhaps and I'll make it. If someone has it, and can provide me with it, I'll give you a carbon one at cost.

Email me directly with your Full name, Address, phone, and zilvia.net user name and I'll compile a list. If it looks like its something that'll take off, I'll start the GB thread on it. I'd say PM me, but my PM box fills so fast, email is easier.

[email protected]

...and just a best guess...$149 for FRP, $299 for carbon would be approx. retail.

[smelly240]

new emblems have sticky tape on em - just buy a new one.

There we go now we just need to get them the lip.:doh: Hopefully we can get this rolling guys

[CamryOnBronze]

Would be awesome to see chaser make a nice fitting and quality lip...

Mine is still on a slow boat somewhere. I hope that it will arrive by the end of January.

Yeah so do I. He said we could use the one from modiride if we want to :bite: If
JaeTea is correct about the fitment because chaser said "The better the part someone provides, the better the end product will be!"

Fitment is actually good.

Customer service and quality of the lip is totally shit. :down:

No idea why another company doesn't start selling replica lips.

Lets see some detailed pics of fitment with your bumper

[180sxdrifter]

149$ ill buy one at the price



i'll buy 2 :bowdown: somebody make this happen!

[ZX88]

modiride lip has pretty good fitment. but since its frp it likes to explode. Ive fixed mine twice.

modiride lip is $175 before shipping. i think I paid like $250 shipped. customer service was pure shit.

[wh0aitznic0]

If Chaser makes the lip I'm going Kouki. Only thing I'm scared of is the first scrape/explosion. I don't know how o work with fiberglass...

[usdm180sx]

yea mine are ziptied, all though i heard you can use the original tabs(the C clip ones) and flip them the other way or i think pull them open and it works. but dont take my word for it, i heard this from another ziliva head. havent tried it also do to being lazy lol LMK if you try it and if it works :)

No drilling required. Take the plastic brackets off the usdm license plate holder (the brackets with the threaded nut inside) and snap them into the holes on the kouki bumper. Slide them inward a bit (toward the center of the car) and align the holes. Tighten up the screws and you are set!

[airhead]

that moldride lip looks OK might get one if i do get a OEM bumper..
i fixed my fiberglass type x front bumper like 5 times it always comes back to life.
just sucks putting time and effort...

[Brian]

what is it that is so special about japan, i mean, you could have the same exact car specs (almost) and the car would look like shit compared to the one in japan.

theres some mysticl force in japan i swear.

It's because most people here have no style, no taste, no desire to buy quality parts, etc.

It also helps that Japan looks cooler then most of the places we all take pictures of our cars at.

I wish I had a hatch just for kouki aero.

[IIIXziuR]

^ ^ haha awhh man. BRIAN. greatttt

[CrimsonRockett]

Seriously?

Fucking up the new thread already?

[Brian]

The dude needs a lip.
I'm offering mine to them.
Where is the problem?

[Bushido]

bummer that the last thread tanked... power tripping mods...

add me to the no lip club:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v259/domeniccucunato/my%20240sx/CIMG1808.jpg

gotta cut the license plate holder out... just waiting for my oil cooler first.

[lflkajfj12123]

dear chaser aero

i'll take three

[ChaserAero]

dear chaser aero

i'll take three

Awesome...

Just submit the needed info, and I'll get a GB going Monday.

We'll get a lip somehow.

[dat411kid]

Awesome Chaser!

If i had a lip I would send it to you right now man...I cant wait to see your version if it gets made....

[ThatGuy]

bummer that the last thread tanked... power tripping mods...

Get over it and don't screw up this Thread.

[kalypso123]

+1 for the Chaser aero lip.

great idea... overdue.

[ChaserAero]

Here you go guys...

http://zilvia.net/f/group-buys/299125-gb-kouki-180sx-type-x-front-lip.html#post3225330

I'll upgrade anyone to a carbon lip if I can "borrow" yours to get the mold done. I just don't want to have to buy one. I'd love to get an OEM...

[Matej]

In for the group buy. :)

[titopr06]

these guys have a real one for 200aud (and many other nice parts)
but shipping from Australia may be a lot.
J-Imports (http://www.j-imports.com.au/)

[kalypso123]

EDIT:: { wrong thread }

[Matej]

That sounds great. I like a method where I don't have to cut or drill anything. :)

It looks like it should work with the kouki clips too. Are the USDM clips longer/different? I didn't even know USDM S13's came with front plate brackets.

http://www.matejblahut.com/gallery/d/874-1/platebrackets.jpg

[Brian]

hey Matej, why don't you drill new holes in the license plate to match the holes in the bumper.

[Matej]

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic. :(

[Brian]

I'm being true this time.

[Matej]

True answer:
I got shiny brand new style plates and I would rather not mutilate them yet, plus the extra holes left in the middle would be kind of goofy.

Sarcastic answer:
That would require me using power tools/doing car work.

[Brian]

ah yes, good point.
You have to treat those new plates real nice. I'm so careful with mine.

I have an idear.
Seems simple.

The US holes are not as far apart, yes?
ok good.

next step.

perhaps what you would want is a simple piece of metal. a rectangle.
From the looks of it, maybe an inch and a half long each. ... or hell, maybe a long piece that you bolt to the factory holes, then you drill 2 holes in that little metal bar for the US plate holes.

Does that make sense?

Boom. Superglue or Epoxy nuts behind the holes and then you got a cool guy bracket to bolt the US plate to.


It's real simple in my head, but I didn't even rear what I wrote, so I hope it makes sense

[Touge_Monster]

Brian how do you attatch your plate when you have it on?

I think Im just going to drill holes in mine

I met with Chris from modiride when I purchased my type x lip from them. I remember him mentioning that the first lips they produced had fitment issues due to being too short from the ends (where it bolts to the wheel wells). The lips he sells now have extended ends and they fit great.

This makes sense knowing that the OEM plastic lips exhibit much better ductility than fiberglass or FRP. So keep that in mind when making your lips Chaser.

[CrimsonRockett]

I heard someone's coming out with a Urethane replica.

For all of those seriously wanting the lip, I'd just wait for that.

[Matej]

FU whale!
FU dolphin!
FU kouki lip!

more info?

When was this? I met with him and he didnt mention that. Thats how mine almost broke I didnt think it was going to be long enough to put on

[wh0aitznic0]

Fuck it, the Chaser lip is only going to be less than or around $100 if 30+ people get in on the group buy (which I believe will happen). It's good to have an extra or something just in case.

[satal95]

But they still need a lip to make the mold with, which might cause the problem of it coming out or not

Well whatever happened to the one your friend was working on or is this the one your talking about. We never got an update on the thread you had mentioned on this

[9s13Coupe3SX]

will there be pictures of actual lip fitment on bumper? I would like to see the product test fitted on a bumper first before I jump this eventho its a hell of a deal.

[Wake]

wtf why didnt anyone tell me this thread was open?

[Matej]

http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g24/zx88/DSC_0004.jpg
Nice license plate mounting achievement.
Would you mind sharing your method? :)

[CrimsonRockett]

More info on the Urethane replica later.

The fiberglass copy is currently being test fitted to see if there's any areas that need attention.

If all goes well, Urethane replicas will be made.

[kalypso123]

urethane ftw , they should skip the frp ones altogether.

http://i614.photobucket.com/albums/tt228/kalypso345/2021.jpg

[Wake]

I agree

im actually considering going to a custom plastics place over here in my area and seeing if i can get the to make a piggy lip and kouki lip out of ABS.

[sr20drifter1]

Awesome...

Just submit the needed info, and I'll get a GB going Monday.

We'll get a lip somehow.

Hey ChaserAero,
Can you make that lip a little more aggressive than the OEM one?Just like the GT1 Motorsports one on the pic below.
http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa291/sr20drifter1/180sx.jpg
I'm sure a lot of people would love to have one like that. I'm in.

I'm sure a lot of people would love to have one like that. I'm in.

But the thing is, bromosexual, that Chaser needs the original to make the mold. If somebody could so happen to cut up the bottom of a GT-1 bumper (like the lip in question) and send it to Chaser, they can make it. Otherwise that picture isn't enough to suffice in making the lip.

[usdm180sx]

That sounds great. I like a method where I don't have to cut or drill anything. :)

It looks like it should work with the kouki clips too. Are the USDM clips longer/different? I didn't even know USDM S13's came with front plate brackets.

http://www.matejblahut.com/gallery/d/874-1/platebrackets.jpg

Perfect. After the license plate is aligned the clips clamp down when the screws are tightened so it ain't going nowhere.

[ZX88]

Nice license plate mounting achievement.
Would you mind sharing your method? :)

mounted it with zipties. and oem usdm metal license plate clips/

[Matej]

Perfect, thanks!


Now I just need to research what kind of witchcraft it requires to hook up the turn signals and running lights.

[drftwerks]

Oh shit, matej got aero already, i was gonna go get that shipping quote at work tomorrow, i had to measure it.

well, did you still want the rear bumper or anything?

This is Yuta BTW.

[articdragon192]

I wish they are baller aero like type-x for z32's :(

The Kouki front end for our cars isn't exactly cheap.

Well what's stopping you from buying the GT1 one lip?
It's available.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

That bird told me the same thing this weekend...

People don't like buying real parts anymore. :ghey:

Sorry, it was an impulse purchase.
But please PM me how much you would want for the rear bumper shipped.


http://www.matejblahut.com/gallery/d/880-1/yutabuildscoolcars.jpg

[udon!]

regarding the replica lip....

it sounds like a good idea. but i think that type x will be more played out, but hey its still good looking aero in my eyes.

[ayuaddict]

Sorry, it was an impulse purchase.
But please PM me how much you would want for the rear bumper shipped.


http://www.matejblahut.com/gallery/d/880-1/yutabuildscoolcars.jpg

oh dude i was super hoping you would get oem stuff.

can you get chuki sides please?

and yes sir i will find out asap.

[Nacho_240]

When was this? I met with him and he didnt mention that. Thats how mine almost broke I didnt think it was going to be long enough to put on

Chris told me this in November of last year. I'm not sure when he made the change though. He test fitted the lip on my bumper and it was kinda tight, but once it was on, it fit really nice.

I heard someone's coming out with a Urethane replica.

For all of those seriously wanting the lip, I'd just wait for that.

I am definitely interested in this. I want to get rid of my fiberglass lip, it's so stupid.

Who's the leader of this plan? Is it the arrowhead guy?

[sr20drifter1]

But the thing is, bromosexual, that Chaser needs the original to make the mold. If somebody could so happen to cut up the bottom of a GT-1 bumper (like the lip in question) and send it to Chaser, they can make it. Otherwise that picture isn't enough to suffice in making the lip.
Hey,
Let's stop calling each other names and make this thread go bad. Let's treat each other with respect like we're supposed to. My friend has a complete GT1 kit, and I know that they need a copy of the lip to make one. GT 1 has a 180sx replica lip and a complete bumper that's connected to the lip like the one I've posted. Let's keep this clean.

[PoorMans180SX]

That bird told me the same thing this weekend...



Well what's stopping you from buying the GT1 one lip?
It's available.


No, actually that lip is a custom one-off peice. The GT1 lip is a FRP replica of the kouki lip.

I would be in for a GT-1 kit style lip. I was planning on making one myself.

[ManoNegra]

regarding the replica lip....

it sounds like a good idea. but i think that type x will be more played out, but hey its still good looking aero in my eyes.

Wait, you think it's not played out!?

cycles my man
everything has been played out at least once in the s-chassis world

Hell, I'm still reeling from the S14 kouki bandwagon of a few years back

[ManoNegra]

Ahh... I was going by that pic posted which looks like a more aggressive lip

hot road and gt-1 still haven't had there day in the spot light.

there are still more trends to see.

GP - Gzero is my favorite right now. not too many use it.

[sr20drifter1]

Perfect, thanks!


Now I just need to research what kind of witchcraft it requires to hook up the turn signals and running lights.

http://www.matejblahut.com/gallery/d/877-1/kewkibumper.jpg
All you need is the 180sx amber and clear turn signal with wires. Extend the wires to connect the side clear wires to the top square 180sx bumper lights and the amber wires to the bottom round amber lights on the bumper on your picture.It's just plug and play. The only modification you will do is extend the wires.
Here is a picture of the 180sx amber and clear turn signals that I'm talking about on CamryBronze car.

Hey,
Let's stop calling each other names and make this thread go bad. Let's treat each other with respect like we're supposed to. My friend has a complete GT1 kit, and I know that they need a copy of the lip to make one. GT 1 has a 180sx replica lip and a complete bumper that's connected to the lip like the one I've posted. Let's keep this clean.

Lol, I'm guessing you've never seen Pineapple Express. Disregard "bromosexual" from the rest of the post then.

Thank you, that sounds a lot simpler than I imagined it would be!
Although now I will have to buy those turn signals just for the harness, gosh darn kouki 180SX haha.

Unfortunately I'm not sure if my turn signals came with any wires or sockets. Although since they look orange, there might be sockets with amber bulbs in them after all? I'll have to check. If not, hopefully the sockets from the USDM or the half-clear chuki lights will work.

By the way, are the kouki turn signals dual-function by any chance, where they stay lit like the USDM turn signals, and flash brighter? Or are they single-function like the rear turn signals, where they're only on when flashing?

[wh0aitznic0]

From what I understand, they're only single function (only come on when you turn on hazards/turn signals). Position lights are always on, though.

[ill.]

Factory Kouki is single function.

D-MAX makes dual function ones though...

[CamryOnBronze]

^ I think he is asking if the turn signals are dual function, not the position lights. I may be mistaken though...

Hey, my car. lol. I didn't get the wiring with my signals unfortunately, so I will need to figure this out at some point as well. I bet RussellM could get the harnesses from the kouki front... might take forever though. Maybe I will shoot him a PM.

[ZX88]

HOT- THREAD 2000


you can modify your usdm oem bulbs to work in 180sx position lights. i just cut the hole in my dmax lights to fit the stock bulbs and sealed them with electrical tape.

thats another option.

[Matej]

For now I will see how the dual-function USDM turn signal socket fits and possibly use the kouki turn signals as the running lights & turn signals, so they can always be on.

[Nissan Junkie]

Wow, someday I will have Kouki aero.

[Touge_Monster]

The bulb is clear the light itself is amber

From what I know the turn signal only blinks and the parking lights ( the clear ones) are on all of the time


Mine did not come with wires but did come with sockets. I just wired it directly to the socked using a sodering gun (I dont know how to spell that). To figure out what does what cut one wire on the US socket (that is not the ground) then turn on your hazards or headlights to see what function that wire controlled. Atleast thats what I did.

[CamryOnBronze]

So I think this is on topic... if not, mods can delete it.

I'm still waiting on my Kouki front end from Japan, but I have the pics they sent me before it shipped. Do you guys think this crack can be repaired by a body shop?

http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/6435/87946245.jpg

http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/332/22025511.jpg

I am guessing that it can be, but I would like some other opinions. If it can't be, I can always buy a new oem front bumper- but I'd love to save this one. Obviously I would want to do it right (i.e. no zip ties). It's funny, it looks like the turn signals were cleared out as well... I ordered new oem turn signals and position lamps, since one of the lamps was cracked and the signals are cleared out.

It was pricey, but I really wanted that OEM front lip.

[lflkajfj12123]

repair it yourself, look for the guys thread who repaired his urethane kouki lip

its not too hard

[wh0aitznic0]

Run NO turn signals and the DMAX position lights.

Looks MUCH better, in my opinion.

[Brian]

yeah, turn signals - no good

[punxva]

if you get the dmax position lights with the 2 bulbs in it you can run both turns and position, kinda like the half amber half clear signals

[Matej]

Run NO turn signals and the DMAX position lights.

Looks MUCH better, in my opinion.
Lights close to the ground look cool at night. That's the only reason I want to use the turn signals.

Its fixable, there doesnt seem to be to much distortion. A clean crack like that is an easy fix.

im not a full kouki but i got a kouki front bumper which is a copy from version select which fit almost perfect on my car it doesnt have a gap between the bumper and fender. Heres a pic of it

[CamryOnBronze]

Good to hear it should be fixable- thanks for the input.

I like the look with the turn signals personally. If I change my mind later, I can always remove them. I'm feelin' the OEM vibe...

[RPS13-604]

PS: Canucks suck never make it pass the the 2nd team haha

[Brian]

blasphemy.
I'm offended.

[Matej]

The wheels are nice, the tires are just a bit too tall. A smaller profile will lower it a bit while also giving more room for more lowering.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the Version Select bumper is shorter than oem, making the front seem especially high on cars that rock it.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

yeah, it does look short, but not by much. maybe 1-1.5 cm.

[airhead]

i had a version select before they its sits the same as oem its just hes rolling on fat tires its lifting his car up up he needs to go low profile i run 35 on 18's up front and front lip almost touches the floor

[ayuaddict]

hbvsauzjkniabkjxnz ,

version seelct blows

[airhead]

oh yeah and the VS bumper has steep nose where the emblem goes if you put both oem and VS bumpers together you will see the difference makes the bumper look like 50% shorter

[CamryOnBronze]

This kind of looks cool to me for some reason... stock USDM spoiler?

Too bad they are made of sponge.:ddog:

[Martino]

I've been trying to figure out the complication between the VS and OEM for some time now. I've had multiple people say it's not shorter, yet at the same time I'm almost positive I can see that it is.

I asked slow240sx this a while ago as I believe he had dealt with both bumpers, and said they sit relatively the same depending on how you mount them.

Chime in?

[lflkajfj12123]

they're the same, most people just don't mount oem stuff correctly and it looks visually taller

[Vegas13]

am i the only one who isnt into the type x bumpers??

i really think they got too much going on.
especially the ones with 10000 lights

[ayuaddict]

you should post in the intro thread about how youre not into introductions.

...or not.

[Martino]

I'm trying to find either the VS one or OEM here locally in Canada but fuck is it ever hard. I'm not willing to pay another $400 for shipping here AND pay over $200 in duties. It's damn near pointless for JUST a bumper.

So far everyone one here doesn't really want to ship to me and I don't really blame them, but fml, i want!!!!


Thanks for the insight though s0ap!

[franklin93zx]

The Kouki front end for our cars isn't exactly cheap.
I know that but it's played out and as you said before doesn't look to sit flush, looks to sit as the same height as the original fascia

[CrimsonRockett]

To me, it's not a matter of if it's "played out", it's how clean you can pull it off.

There's hundreds(if not thousands) of people rocking Kouki aero.

Some with rattle can paint jobs, others with Maaco paint jobs, and lastly, those with professional paint jobs.

They might have the same exterior parts, but the "finish" makes all the difference in the world.

Same goes for buying real and knock off parts.

Build two S13's. One out of nothing but real quality parts and another out of knock offs.

Sure, they might look the same(at a glance), but the S13 with real parts WILL outperform the car built with knock off parts.

[Brian]

I'm near Detroit, which wouldn't be THAT bad of a hike for you if you really wanted a kouki front- about 4.5 hours. Shoot me a PM and maybe we could find a solution for you!

I was just joshin, type-X is timeless. Rauh Welt reinvents Porsche every year, As long as artistry and passion are involved some things will never die.

But I agree quality and finish is everything.

... I do hope we see another G-corporation 180sx aero kit somewhere here in the US. It would be a refreshing new trend.

i think he's been banned more in the past 12 months than he's been active :/

and now to add to the thread:

okay, so the real lip is a billion dollars, but it's urethane. the knockoff ones are dirt cheap, but FRP. FRP fucking sucks because it collects rock chips like i collect pokemon cards. but then again most lips do anyway.
does anybody have a picture of, say, a black 240, with JUST THE LIP wrapped in black vinyl? this might be the ONE TIME that vinyl would be acceptable.

[Brian]

try driftwolrd.com.

[BustedS13]

i hear a guy who isn't on Zilvia runs that

[CrimsonRockett]

The problem with an FRP lip isn't rock chips(well, not the only problem), but the lip cracking/exploding on the first dip it takes.

I had Zenki lip on my Chuki for months and abused the fuck out of that thing until the edges were missing. It never actually cracked though.

The first time you scrape with fiberglass, it usually cracks around the mounting points from the stress and at the exact point of impact.

At least Urethane can tolerate quite a bit more before giving out (even longer if you actually take care of it).

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

i never had any issues with cracking fiberglass in any location when i had my old bings lip. it fit very good for FRP, and i pretty much scraped a hole in it with the ground. the thing about FRP lips is that you have to treat it as if it will explode at any minute. if not, then it will break. for guys that are low on coilovers, i don't see any reason for breaking a lip because if your streets suck as much as philly streets do, you shouldn't be driving around in a way that will break your crap anyways.

my old lip:

Which is why I say, it'll explode on the first dip it takes.

Now, the fiberglass lips I've come across from Japan...THOSE I can see putting up with some abuse. Extremely well made.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

i completely agree. it really does depend on quality.

[Matej]

While I want the rest of my Type-X aero to be OEM urethane, I don't care if the lip will be a fiberglass replica anymore. I mainly only want it to protect the bumper. On top of looking cool of course.

Pretty sure fiberglass usually explodes when people mount it solidly with bolts like they would a stock bumper/lip. I had a cheap fiberglass bumper until now which I have scraped countless times and plowed roadkill with, and when I sold it, it did not have a single crack or chip. I mounted it with zipties, which gave it slack if I scraped or hit anything. And no, it was not saggy or ill-fitting. If you get smart with zipties, you can make things fit properly.
By the way, I'm not saying everyone should prefer zipties or fiberglass replicas to OEM, I am only sharing what works for me.

i was thinking of reinforcing my modiride lip.

[Xbroke_kidX]

^ Foam? Not sure if that really works, Never attempted it.

BH is it true this time?

[ZX88]

i was thinking maybe put some flat pieces of metal or plastic strips on the inside then cover it with that fiberglass.

[Lucas180]

Again, has anyone found any difference in the VS kit size of the bumper some pictures are deceiving. also bings lip is very strong fiberglass..i used to have one!

[Olly]

My lip takes a lot of abuse, you can get tricky the way you mount it.

There are 2 " [ " shaped supports on each side, when I took these off I gained around 25mm of movement just infront of the tyres... (the place where you usually go over speedbumps etc.. ) It's not secured in the wheel well either..


I'll try to take some pics / video.

just reinforce it with more fiberglasss i done that lots of times with mine and it last me

[Touge_Monster]

I heard spraying rino liner (the can stuff) on the inside makes them very strong. Im going to try it on my lip.

My lip drags everyday I leave my house and it hasnt cracked yet. Its the modiride one

It's true.
Impossible to tuck 17's on stock fenders up front.

thats what 18's are for

[wh0aitznic0]

18's in the front look too big on Kouki.

In my opinion.

edit: Udon, goddamn, is that how much a copy of FF7 goes for nowadays? I still fucking have mine from way back in the day lol.

^metal gear solid and parapa were and are the only good psx games.

Does anyone have any new onvia pics, I am thinking of starting a thread dedicated to that front end.

[95KA-Turbo]

Seriously, why is no one running this?

Just got my new project today. My last car (AE86 with a levin front) required removal of the bumper support to fit the front/rear bumpers. For installing the Kouki Aero on my 240 does it require anything gay like that? I'm ordering the front bumper/brackets/extensions/lights next week, and want to make sure it's just putting the aero on, and nothing that requires custom brackets/bolts/etc like putting a Levin front end on an AE86.

Does the existing lighting harness just wire up with the lights in the front bumper?

[Kouki14]

my apologies ahead of time for this random question but why does that red car that bh commented on have us style rear red markers? p.s. love this thread and everyone's archived kouki 180 pics.
thanks.

true.

some people are collectors though... they sell for around 80$ on ebay....

Supposedly a lot of S13 owners in Japan like those. Just like people on this side of the ocean like JDM knickknacks.

discontinued.... someone needs to make a copy for posterity.

[Matej]

Raceonusa sells a knockoff.
I still think that front bumper could go great with these GP Sports side steps and rear valances.

So happy I never got rid of my stock rear bumper. :)

[ZX88]

rear valances look cool on that silver car.

[CrimsonRockett]

Olly, you can't post something as awesome as this in the picture thread and not post it here.

Really wish I'd get paid back all of that money I'm owed from my old body shop to get both of my cars painted already.
