Yeah, but for some reason I think I'll need some different SS or something cuz the lip will hang too low in front... anyways I'm not sure I should rock the lip just yet even though it's sitting in my garage ;)

if you think this made it hard... don't even open a hyperREV hahaha... too many to choose from!!!

12-11-2003, 12:34 PM

Try the jdm zenki ss's to see if they match up b/c you would also have to find something to match the rear and do want some ss's that hang too low for the rear.

mMm...HyperRev....sooooo much stuff...wish they had one dedicated JUST to the s14. Ive seen most of them with s14/s15 or s14/s13 or all 3. + theyre 30 bucks! went to hong kong once and found a hyper rev at a bookstore ther for $5 someone BEAT THAT!

Yes OEM bumpers rock. You can really wreck it and itll just pop out to its original shape.

12-11-2003, 03:32 PM

Well basically i crashed my car and the front end it fuked. I bet this is what most zenki s14 owners think about. "if i crash my front end then i can get a kouki front end or s15 conversion."(not on purpose ofcourse ;) ) well i chose to get a kouki conversion. hopefully my body shop orders the right parts.

I always think of if i were to crash my front to get the kouki front....but never s15!

yea...my car was in an accident and I decided to savor the moment and get a Kouki front end. I bought the US bumper because I need something "cheap" and ASAP so I can drive my car. Also when someone hit my car (again) it was quick and easy to get a replacement fender (3 days from dealership). Imagine what would happen if you got into a minor accident with a S15 front end conversion.

I really want the JDM Kouki front bumper.....but I can't see myself spending $400+ on a bumper when I can get the US/Euro lip for $275.

my three current favorites are:

Cwest front bumper (are those nismo side skirts? and what do you need to do to make this fit on a kouki? cause i saw it on the c-west site and it was a zenki bumper)

there's a kouki version of the Cwest.

And stock kouki is best, w/ or w/o lip.

Cwest lip next.

some of the Gp sports are ok

12-12-2003, 12:02 AM

sideskirts are also Cwest on that black kouki. Cwest makes both zenki and kouki kits.

Just for the record, that gp sports G4 kit is ugly. Dunno why it gets so much love, maybe just because gps makes it...

Hey Matt... I like the URAS kit too... but the integrated grill kinda gets on my nerves... I personally would like to get the kit and modify the bumper to use the stock JDM kouki grill. just my .02

The JDM Kouki grille is a nice piece and not being able to use it on that kit turned me off.

Yea the uras are nice although id get the G+ version. Im kinda partial to those bulged hoods too, dunno why.

Matt_240

12-12-2003, 02:49 PM

i can't use the jdm kouki grill anyway. im still using the 95 rad. support and for some reason, i had to lower the hood latch to make the hood lock. i guess 95/96 and 97/98 rad support is different. so, i have to reach through the stock grill (since it has an opening) to open my hood. if i had the kouki one, i can't. lol.

on a side note, i could just buy the 97/98 rad support. but thats when i have more money i guess. its not that big a deal to have the kouki grill anyway.

Matt_240

12-12-2003, 03:00 PM

actuallyl i just found my next kit. lol.. and its suuper cheap. all i can say is... type IV...my precious

That's very odd....because I'm using my 95/96 rad support and my hood closes fine

BTW....the Kouki grill clips onto the headlights...not the rad. support.

12-12-2003, 09:16 PM

yea, but you can't take off the kouki grill without opening the hood can you?

12-13-2003, 05:38 PM

huh, I can take off my gril without opening the hood. I had to take it off to put in the HID's. you just stick a screwdriver into the 4 holes and twist and it pops out. putting it back in is the hard part.

I want the ARC oil cooler that goes behind the grill. comes with a custom grill that looks cool.

I definately like the G4 body kit the best...since i have it! But some of my favorites have to be all of the GP sports...then next, i would have to say the vertex. As an overall package, i think the G4 kit delivers in every aspect! I think it gives it a clean, aggressive look and keeping all the body lines even throughout the whole kit.(unlike some kits where the back is 2 inches higher than the sides and front)...I cant wait to get it painted!
check out some pics i took of my G4 kit.
My G four pics (http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4288474369)

I still have yet to see clear pics of the whole grace kit or a website...someone post some pics of it! i believe i saw a clip of it on an options video..its a yellowish kouki and looks looks similar to vertex.

Someone who had good service and fast shipment. and dont tell me to check out the links because importfan/gtp and autoimaging are listed and ive heard bad things about them. DRFT is c-west?! wierd, i never knew that till now.
