My S14 kouki rear valances are finally done!!!

[gunmetalr32]

Yes that's right my valances are done...

I purchased some valances in used but good condition and I paid a arm and a leg. But I was happy because it was a pain in the a$$ to get them do to all the biding wars and people selling them in hours. so I wanna help out and make some so people can own a pair at a reasonable cost.

I posted a feeler a few months back. Since these valances are discontinued now and are hard to come by I decided to ask zilvia, "if I could make perfect exact replicas if you would be interested." and I got some positive feed back..

But everyone didn't want to wait and thought it wouldn't happen, but I couldn't fund it buy myself.. And I almost just said fuck it I tried and I was going to just put them on. But it tore me up inside to see all these clean koukis with the rear jdm bumper without the rear valances. so I manned up and sold my nice jline wheels and paid for it.

AND I MISS THEM!!!

start it off by taking off the metal support bracket. and sending it out to a machine shop to replicate the bracket.
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/2011-04-26122010.jpg

Then we got to business and started block sanding and fixing all the imperfections.

http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/2011-04-26122118.jpg

As you can see there is a lot of high and low spots even from a new factory piece. Example: the inside where the nissan logo and part number are.

after we block sanded and primer 3times. they were perfect!

Now the hectic molding process begins.

http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/2011-08-31124031-1.jpg

And then we ran into a problem. if we wanna keep a nice radius edges we need to do a clamshell mold.. FYI it's a lot harder to make the mold and its more time consuming
But I wanted a perfect mold so we did it.

Thanks for the kind words.

I need to take better pictures with a good camera.. This android phone is not cutting it

[ckw]

At times, I had my doubts that you were making these and just ran off with my money, but I knew in the back of my mind that this was really going to be made. I'm really excited that these worked out.



What would be your price on them? Maybe you should make navan ones also!

From what I gather with this project, it would end up costing more than buying used OEM ones.

[gunmetalr32]

This this this this this this this this this this this this this ths this this thssss

I'm not sure about the navan valances. Those still come around once and a while.. And there are some replicas already

Next I want to do the s14 oem jdm kouki front lip.. maybe make it a tad bit lower.idk yet. I can't find a good clean one.. Unless someone wants to let me borrow one for a few months?

Because of you I actually made these.. When I was about to quit and when I said fuck it I just want them on my car already... You kept asking me for updates and I was just going to tell you it's not happening.. But that changed my mind and I sold wheels to fund this..
Thanks for the support.. And you are getting the 1st set. I couldn't be happier on the way they came out.. Again thanks.u

[driftsilvias13]

How much?! I would be interested and local!

[gunmetalr32]

ok today on my lunch i went to my auto body specialist and picked up my 3m double sided tape and went on the hunt for the hardware ...

the 3m tape is the same thickness and width as oem

and here is the hardware
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/P4220358.jpg

[Mister.E]

So if you are going to be providing a complete install kit with these, what are we looking at as far as cost? several people have asked, yet there has been no answer so far.

[chinabean]

$200+ I'm guessing?

[gunmetalr32]

So if you are going to be providing a complete install kit with these, what are we looking at as far as cost? several people have asked, yet there has been no answer so far.

yes I'm throwing in a complete install kit as well.. I put a lot of time and money in this project I'm not going to skimp out on a few pieces. Since these valances will reflect my reputation on the forum, I want to have them as complete with the highest quality possible. As of the price I don't have one yet.

[twistedsymphony]

Is it possible to make a version of these with just the lower part and still have it fit right?

As in, cutting it along the lowest point of the indent so it no longer has the flat part up against the body.

If these are cheep enough I'd be tempted to buy one just to try it.

[s14unimog]

Yes that's right my valances are done...

Right on man! I'm running the Zenki aero on mine b/c, well, it's a zenki but if I wasn't I would hit you up. Way to do something the best it can be done. :bowdown:

I fell ya on missing those J-Lines, I'm running 7SL2's and love them

[gunmetalr32]

i took a early out so i can take some pictures on the fitment and a quick how to install. i got a better camera :)

ok first you need a jdm kouki rear bumper, rear valances ,hardware and 3m double sided tape

here is what you need to install
hardware
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/P4220358.jpg

3m double sided tape (don't go cheap and get anything else)
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/P4220359.jpg
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/P4220360.jpg
1/2 an inch is oem and is what i recommend as well
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/P4220361.jpg

then find the mounting locations (where the rear mud flap would mount to)
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/Picture001.jpg

then add the plastic locking fasteners
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/Picture002.jpg

there is anther mounting location under the rear quarter panel.
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/Picture003.jpg
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/Picture004.jpg

remove the plastic cap to reveal the mounting hole
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/Picture005.jpg

add the plastic locking fastener
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/Picture006.jpg

this is where the mounting bracket is going to mount to
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/Picture007.jpg

THEN YOU CLEAN THE VALANCES WITH 3M CLEANING/ADHESIVE BOUNDING WIPES AND APPLY 3M DOUBLE SIDED TAPE WHERE THE VALANCES AND THE BODY MEET!!!!
______ NO PICTURES YET..... SORRY_______

screw in valances

mounting bracket underneath
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/Picture012.jpg

mounting locations where the mud flaps would bolt up to
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/Picture013.jpg

NOTICE THAT ONLY ONE HOLE LINES UP.. THESE ARE (OEM VALANCES) AND THE OTHER HOLE IS NOT USED.. THE OTHER 3 MOUNTING HOLE AND THE 3M DOUBLE SIDED TAPE WILL HOLD THE VALANCES IN PLACE.

underneath the at the other end of the valances you drill a hole in the bumper
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/Picture012.jpg

and add the plastic locking push plugs
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/Picture013.jpg
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/Picture014.jpg

i think they will leave a big gap.. the way they are made it would look like it would need to be molded inwards

i just hope people see that these are made with high quality materials and are made one at a time, with man hands. these are not cheap Chinese stuff .. quality is #1.. and people give me shit all the time for selling my jlines.. i miss those things :(

Very nice work! I will be needing a set soon, so if priced fairly I would take a set too.
go kouki!!!

[snmlmz]

You for sure have my utmost respect and I totally commend you for going above and beyond man good job! they look legit

Thanks for the support.. And you are getting the 1st set. I couldn't be happier on the way they came out.. Again thanks.u

If there was a "like" button like there is on Facebook, I would like this post.

[LOADING...]

[gunmetalr32]

I already shipped some to hawaii.. Not a problem

[Wake]

Do kouki s13 lips

And silvia lips that fit better than pignose lips.
I will personally send you a good condition complete pignose lip that you can cut up to make molds if you make a decent silvia lip out of it.

guarantee I can either find 10 people for a deposit, or pay it myself.

[RPS13_NISMO KNIGHT]

thanks man I appreciate it.. A lot of love went into this.. Next I'm thinking about making a front lip.. I just bought a greddy lip yesterday and I think I'm going to modify it

[bardabe]

When you are done and producing these, start making OEM Silvia Rear valances for S13 coupes

[Wake]

I was going to suggest that but figured he wouldnt since so many people do already.

Making ones that dont fit like complete obliterated ass could be profitable though.

[2402NV]

I'll be interested in a set whenever you have a price.

[brewster240]

good stuff. pm when they are available.

[Smurf_240SX]

Wow these look really good!

[ka-titties]

they are already done. i shipped a few already .. im just waiting on their reviews. this is my 1st product and i want to make sure everyone is happy with them.

and the s13 rear valances .. a few people already make them.. and if i would make them since it's 3 pieces price would be in the $290-330 range

I was going to suggest that but figured he wouldnt since so many people do already.

Making ones that dont fit like complete obliterated ass could be profitable though.
yes very true.. all these company's make awful fitting ones. thats why i wanted to make my s14 kouki valances..

look at these and look at mine..

Navan rears sell quicker than a 2 hour midnight session with Beyonce.

I see them sell for $165 and they come up more often than kouki valances... If I would make the price would be around $230 I don't think it would be worth it

[gunmetalr32]

Opps double post..

[blueshark123]

Damn great work i would give u my s14 jdm lip to replicate but i like being the only one around here to have one and knowing i can sell it for alot and quick

[bardabe]

No I'm talking about the Coupe Valances for the Silvia S13 not the 180sx valances. they are completely different.

[gunmetalr32]

Bings makes them. If I make them I would charge more than $175.

[gunmetalr32]

hmmm i like this but my lip is painted already will this fuck it up
Yes I would have to get it completely straight. Blocking and primer till it's perfect. And then I can design it lower.. But when you get it back it will be ready for paint.
Ill buy some let us know how much it would be in total!
You got a pm

[Chigga]

Thanks for the valances! They "fit like a glove" coming from a professional. He did this car's paint and body (Helluva Rides : Post Archive (http://helluvarides.com/Blog/Archive.aspx?postid=ab0c735b-4380-46f2-b5bf-67772bc36dda))

This is when I first got it. Living in Hawaii, shipping would cost a lot and take awhile to arrive. Shipping cost is reasonable and it arrived in 5 days! It was nicely packaged with lots of bubble wrapping, should keep company for a few minutes. Behind the sticker is the hardware to install (sorry, didn't take a picture of it but comes with what he had posted)

He was amazed it was replicas. They were smooth as butter, no waves, and right curves. The material were FRP I believe. The minor gaps can be fixed with the 3M tape or glue. The metal brackets were spot on and great that he provided it. Pretty much no alterations needed and just install straight on.

In the pictures, little to no pressure were applied. And ignore the leg lol. All pictures were off my cell phone.

Awesome... Thanks for doing a review. Mine are getting painted as well .. Can't wait to see your car painted and finished

[gunmetalr32]

THESE ARE NOT MY VALANCES

When you are done and producing these, start making OEM Silvia Rear valances for S13 coupes

I was going to suggest that but figured he wouldnt since so many people do already.

Making ones that dont fit like complete obliterated ass could be profitable though.

No I'm talking about the Coupe Valances for the Silvia S13 not the 180sx valances. they are completely different.

Bings makes them. If I make them I would charge more than $175.

Wow! Now I see what you guys are talking about..

Hey Adrian,

I just picked up my valances at the post office today. They arrived on 5 Oct, but I was hungover, so I didn't hear the door bell. They look fantastic, from what I can tell so far. I won't be able to put them on until November/December though because of school and vacation, but I will post pictures up as soon as I get them done.

Just a note to all other people interested. He has made all the mounting brackets and included all the mounting hardware, so it's not necessary to get any additional parts, like the Vanquish replicas.

I'll keep you posted. Again, thanks for all your hard work!

Adrian, Could you make some gray ones for me instead, I can wait. The gray would be a lot better for my white paint, the rock chips won't show as much. I can't get my car into the shop until November. My painter is too busy finishing up a truck for a soldier that's coming home from Afghanistan at the end of this month.

Don't have a kouki unfortunately.

[G Fo12ce]

Just signed up and was poking around because I'm considering getting another S14 in the near future.

Just wanted to say it's pretty awesome that you were able to replicate these & the lip, not many people have the skill set to do that stuff. Not to mention the time. I hope you sell enough to make it worth your while. Good job, subscribing in case I need it for the future :bowdown:

thanks .. i will up date the tread

is this legal for a Nissan's copyright act ?:sadwavey:
as long as the parts are modified 10%.. i have made slight alterations to proceed.. and the fact that nissan discontinued all these parts and i'm not stealling there business with my parts.. i'm actually making them business. since people don't want the jdm rear bumper with out the rear valances.. they are selling more rear bumpers.. as with the front bumpers and all future parts i will be making..

Cant wait to get mine.
you have no idea .. I'm want it done already

i took a early out so i can take some pictures on the fitment and a quick how to install. i got a better camera :)

ok first you need a jdm kouki rear bumper, rear valances ,hardware and 3m double sided tape

here is what you need to install
hardware
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/P4220358.jpg

3m double sided tape (don't go cheap and get anything else)
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/P4220359.jpg
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/P4220360.jpg
1/2 an inch is oem and is what i recommend as well
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/P4220361.jpg

then find the mounting locations (where the rear mud flap would mount to)
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/Picture001.jpg

then add the plastic locking fasteners
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/Picture002.jpg

there is anther mounting location under the rear quarter panel.
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/Picture003.jpg
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/Picture004.jpg

remove the plastic cap to reveal the mounting hole
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/Picture005.jpg

add the plastic locking fastener
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/Picture006.jpg

this is where the mounting bracket is going to mount to
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/Picture007.jpg

THEN YOU CLEAN THE VALANCES WITH 3M CLEANING/ADHESIVE BOUNDING WIPES AND APPLY 3M DOUBLE SIDED TAPE WHERE THE VALANCES AND THE BODY MEET!!!!
______ NO PICTURES YET..... SORRY_______

screw in valances

mounting bracket underneath
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/Picture012.jpg

mounting locations where the mud flaps would bolt up to
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/Picture013.jpg

NOTICE THAT ONLY ONE HOLE LINES UP.. THESE ARE (OEM VALANCES) AND THE OTHER HOLE IS NOT USED.. THE OTHER 3 MOUNTING HOLE AND THE 3M DOUBLE SIDED TAPE WILL HOLD THE VALANCES IN PLACE.

underneath the at the other end of the valances you drill a hole in the bumper
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/Picture012.jpg

and add the plastic locking push plugs
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/Picture013.jpg
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x198/ADRIANS13/Picture014.jpg

AAaaaaand this is why photobucket can suck a big fat one. I realized this was posted back in 2011, but is there any way you can rehost the pics, or at least set your photobucket albums to public so I can look through the pictures that way?
I have a set of OEM valances, but one was pretty busted up, and I've had to do some plastic repairs. Mounting seems pretty strait forward, but it's always nice to have some nice pics to verify everything lines up properly.
