does a stock kouki bumper fit on a zenki period? no.

it doesnt so the Cwest bumper for a kouki wouldnt fit either. mod it then yes it will fit. has it been done? yes a kouki bumper has been placed on a zenki before

amber corners? 5 dollar spray job

the cutouts above the headlight are identically straight, versus stock oem bumpers where each has its own cutout. i scratch my head on this. so... do kouki have different bumper support and mounting points than zenki? if yes, then that answers my question.

well when i did my conversion, the stock bumper support wouldn't work nor the brackets, with a bumper support the brackets, a dremmel, bondo and a creative mind, i'm sure you can make it work.

Bumpers look the same except for turn signals, maybe just try fitting those in?

Fender shape (that effects mounting the bumper alot/ compare how far zenki vs kouki headlights sit)+ headlight mounting, shape, and brackets + grill mounting are different for zenki and kouki. You'd be smarter to get a zenki cwest kit and create some way to mount kouki signals by drilling or by adding brackets.

psychedelicbeats - The actual Kouki bumper will not fit a Zenki (properly). This is because where the bumper meets the fender are completely different and so is the bumper reinforcement. If you don't know....the C-West bumper is the same style for both Zenki and Kouki. Just like most Japanese companies...they opt to use Kouki turn signals for both cars.

damn.. last resort #1 would be to get the c-west zenki front bumper. #2 use a zenki aero front instead. #3 ditch the sides and rear and redo everything.

i am willing to opt... any suggestions out there for a front bumper that flows with c-west side and rear? i.e. mix/match :-/

GP Sports G4


I say this because I've seen a Zenki with C-West sides and rear along with a GP Sports G4 bumper. Looked very nice, but you need a good set of rims and a FMIC to complete the overall look.

Here is the only decent pic I took of the car...

Thats what i ment, the signals look like they will fit right in since they are the same bumper, just each modified for their specific application.

that's good to know. i can't really depict the zenki bumper layout since it is pitch black in the picture. i had only assumed the signal light fitting differed (exterior wise) to the kouki. well well, this might turn out to be some project after all....

just wondering if anyone can grab a hold of a pic of a 240 in black with cwest everything on it. i remember it from last year's socal240sx bbq.
