vertex kouki bumper, what yah think?

[gsu240]

im currently doing the conversion from zenki to kouki, 95 to 98.
going with the carbon fiber hood and i was trying to decide on the bumper, i like the vertex just curious of everyone else's opinion. thanks

[Dousan_PG]

good ONLY if you get the FULL KIT
not just the bumper
that's ricer talk

[DaveSev]

Best Kouki bumper by far, but it would look odd without matching skirts and rear bumper.

Definitely :bigok:

[gsu240]

whats ricer talk?

only the full kit? just so it will match up right i guess, and i plan on doing that later but only the bumper for now i think or should i just save for whole thing or go with another kit?

[Heartwork]

do whatever you want dude....we can bull**** all day and youd probably do it....

btw, if you are trying to get just the front bumper from Speed Alliance (in stock), it wont happen....u have to buy the whole kit....
unless you wanna try with Autoimaging, who doesnt have it in stock and they are in the process of moving....

[Dousan_PG]

haha
ricer talk
only the bumper
or better yet only the bumper and its still primered.
i live in so cali so i see a lot of that
people get all excited but dont have enough $$ for it all
get the whole kit, you'll thank yourself in the end because your car wont look so GOOFY with a LOW bumper and stock sides all high.


URAS kits are VERY cheap and look good too.

[DaveSev]

How many peices is it advertised as? It looks like there may be a vent over the front wheels that would come as an extra piece....you don't need that, doesn't look all that freat anyways. Just get the 3 pieces: front bumper, skirts, and rear bumper. Also get a Kouki S14 spoiler if you got the bling...looks fine spoiler-less, but with it is just sweet IMO.

[Dousan_PG]

its 4 peices
front bumper
2 sides (one for each)
rear bumper

the front has FRP wide fenders..that's not part of the kit. looks like rear is pulled too.

[DaveSev]

I see. Forgot to include two sides in my tally :rolleyes:

[gsu240]

Uras kits? and where could i see a picture of this?

and no need to flame, i guarantee im not a ricer, i just had a few simple questions

[Dousan_PG]

ya that 2 sides is pretty important. :p

www.autoimaging.com has a wide selection with great pics. check it out. :)

[gsu240]

im converting front end to kouki, but would sideskirts fit from a 97-98 full kit?, i know the rear will

[Dousan_PG]

watch out
if its a rear ADD ON, youll probably need the kouki/zenki s14 rear bumper!

its a full replacement, doesnt matter what your car is..(USDM or JDM)

yes, sides are interchangeable!

[gsu240]

thanks for the help, im not really liking that URAS kit, GP sports doesnt look too bad and $500 less

[Dousan_PG]

i like this uras kit

http://www.autoimaging.com/uras/s14k_gplus_lg.jpg

VERTEX: 730
URAS: 655

are you getting prcies from chris' site? or autoimaging?

[gsu240]

autoimaging, and i meant $500 less for entire kit

[Dousan_PG]

oh sorry. you said GP not vertex. my mistake
yah GP is great stuff. good quality too
:)

[Anubis]

URAS full kit is only $655 for the whole thing??

[gsu240]

thats for the bumper

[Dousan_PG]

no, talking about bumpers.

[zero.counter]

I would probably just save up for the entire kit. If you do just the bumper, at least paint it to match, or you will look like these. lol :D

Ultimately, it is up to you. Just giving some visions of what happens if this is done and the outcome.

[gsu240]

HAHA my old car was all primed. Woooo im a ricer extreme.

[SilviaDriver]

aah! stop recommending Uras..that my ****! haha

hey Aaron..u never called.

[Johny5]

Damn, argue it all you want, but I'm a ricer like you guys are saying and am only doing the front bumper. But this is because I've seen pics of inspiration.

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid69/pe12b9dc1585623a6a61e064b328ef6cc/fbba4728.jpg

and it really doesn't look all bass-ackwards. The skirts mellow it down then I wanna do the two side rear valences at some point in time.

However, if the Uras II hangs much lower, time to post up for sale. No way I can afford $550 sideskirts and $500 rear. Pure buttrape I tell you, this business is just too expensive.

Nice car Johny5:D

[Johny5]

har har I wish, my rides got v6 stang rims due to broke-***-ness :wtc:

[AutoDestruct]

Nice Johnny5, I like the calmer sides with that front. I usually fall into the same pattern of Extreme fronts with sedate sides and no rear valance, guess I'm crazy.
