I'm researching body mods for my zenki. I was wanting a kouki front, but I think I've fallen in love with my zenki!! Anywy, I've decided the best looking front end mod is definately the Greddy lip. But which sideskirts and rear valence look good with this...

Just so nobody wastes their time, I'm totally against kouki sideskirts as I don't think they flow very well at all. I'm open to all other suggestions though!

Thanks!! :rawk:

I don't have suggestions for which skirts to get, but I will tell you whichever look you choose is going to have to wait in upwrads of three months due to the fact the Greddy lips are on and have been on, backorder for a long time.

Cheers....

kouki sideskirts w/ GReddy front lip, NOOOOOO! The lip hangs way too low for the sideskirts. It messes up the underbody line of the S14.. That's my opinion.

The best would be full GReddy kit.. but if you feel like mixing and matching, DRFT, Cwest and Friends all make sideskirts that will compliment the lip well.

My $0.02

According to BlackS14 who is the owner of that zenki, the angle which the pictures were taken could have exaggerated how low the lip hangs, but I'm sure you would agree that it does hang at least a few millimeters lower than the sideskirts.

not to bad! =]

haha if i went jdm oem aero.. i would get.. . jdm oem jdm kouki bumperlip.. kouki or zenki sides and zenki rear valences.. (got some of those parts already!) or i can just sell off what i dont need and keep the kouki bumper with gracer sides and buy the rest of the gracer kit. =P i havent seen the gracer sides in person so i dont know how far it hangs down.. i dont want it to hang down to low (slam car + low kit = lots of boo boo's) hahaha im still deciding =P



anyways


mixxamike you decide what your gonna do yet?

03-06-2004, 06:01 PM
I'm really liking Heartwork's Zenki. I think I will probably go with the Greddy lip, Yashio factory SS (or if I can't get those, Greddy), and the bomex rear pieces.

I just hope the Greddy sideskirts aren't too low.

-Mike



ooooh, and some clear headlight covers would look oh so nice!

the240sxer95
03-06-2004, 06:12 PM
yeah same here about the greddy sides being to low, if you cant find yashio sides. other companies makes nismo copies to :0.. oh and which bomex rear? is there more then one?

I can't imagine too many folks having a coronary when concering a mere 2 to 3 mm in difference between ss and a front lip :wackit: :wackit: .....see it in person and then judge for yourself.

hmm well if its a few MM, then that means the gracer sides shouldnt hang down that far from stock? :| intresting

The Gracer one is too squared off. :down: I wish they made the Gracer lip simliar to the styling of the S15 Gracer lip.

Kouki front bumper with Misson lip and zenki sides. It looks like it has the aero spoiler and a nismo rear. Could be a kouki rear too. I just think it looks straight up ill.

the240sxer95
03-06-2004, 08:49 PM
thats a kouki front bumper, optional kouki lip, zenki optional sides and kouki optional rear valences..

the240sxer95
03-06-2004, 08:50 PM
thats the look i am going for! except NO spoiler and zenki rear instead of kouki! or i can go gracer stuff.. i am leaning toward the OEM stuff.. but dam i am paying all of this money to look stock =(

SimpleS14
03-06-2004, 08:58 PM
honestly.....if your willing to spend that kind of money....get a Vertex full aero kit

iuno well see.. vertex = $$$

SimpleS14
03-06-2004, 09:11 PM
gracer stuff and OEM stuff is not cheap...unless you go some kind of a hook up. I also believe any front lip for the Kouki bumper (JDM) takes awhile to obtain. Unless you get the Gracer lip from jspec.com or the lip on e-bay.

the240sxer95
03-06-2004, 09:14 PM
what site sells vertex stuff? id like to check out the prices. last time i checked it was pretty pricey =P

as for the oem/gracer stuff.. i have some oem and gracer stuff already.. yeah gracer stuff is kinda pricey.. but still cheaper then vertex.. sides are like 470 ish and rear is 200.. and the front lip i already have.. got that for like 200 bucks to

SimpleS14
03-06-2004, 09:20 PM

well.....if you have the gracer lip..get the Gracer (or Zenki) sides with the Gracer (or Zenki) rear.

Note: The Kouki S14 Gracer rear is different from the Zenki.

Ok never mind. I found the Bomex website and I don't like those skirts. Almost, but I don't like the "air duct" looking hole after the door.

So the Gracer skirts look almost the same but more simple right? The tiny picture on the Greddy website looks like it has some kind of funny triangular dent after the door. Anyone have a good photo of a zenki S14 with those skirts?

mixxamike
03-07-2004, 10:43 PM
I was looking at that triange dent too, but I've come to the conclusion that it's just an optical illusion. That is actually just part of the GReddy vinyl graphic on the side of the car...look at it differently and you'll see what I mean.

However, I would like to see what the GReddy sideskirts look like without that funky vinly cluttering it up. Anyone have some pics??

SpeedMonkeyInc

Nice, the dark blue car on top you can see better. Now I can see the sticker making the "dent"
Those are the side skirts I have seen and liked. Too bad they are hella $$$
I got the front lip for 170 shipped about a year ago. $640 for the skirts? you gotta be kidding.

SimpleS14
03-08-2004, 10:56 AM
Bomex sides do not look that bad when seen in person...I can say the same for the rear valence. The Mission Kouki S14 front lip (on ebay now) does not look too bad with Gracer, Bomex, Nismo or Zenki (JDM) sides.

04-12-2004, 02:35 PM
OEM skirts are pretty low hanging (nearly identical to gracer and bomex which i feel are copies of the OEM w/ wizbangs) because they have to match up with the super low hanging Aero front bumper.
