The bumper is made from 100% polyurethane and so are the vents! The vents are SUPER flexible along with the bumper (you can twist them damn near in half with no problems). I still have to test fit the bumper to a local guys S13 (who was the original car used from the OEM Bumper fitment). I will be doing so next Friday before I put the bumpers up for sale. I really dont see any issues given how flexible everything is, but I want pics of it on a car as I dont sell any of my parts without actual mounted photos! Each bumper will have a set of vents included AND they will be sold individually for those who need them!

[Flicktitty]

Looks Good!

[Dutchmalmiss]

Looks GOOD! What's the pricing on these?

[dorkidori_s13]

Looks GOOD! What's the pricing on these?

vents will be $100 shipped in the US and Canada

bumpers will be $650~ shipped in the US ONLY for now (HOPEFULLY, not 100% until i get it boxed and take it to fedex for exact confirmation).

[S-Nation S13]

damn looking good .. sub for mounted photos ..
you are going to be one busy person my friend

i have been in talks with Street Faction in Cali to produce bash bars for me. I test fit the original OEM bumper (before it went out for molding) with one of their bash bars and it fit perfectly! i currently have their bash bar on my car as i missed having some sort of support under my bumper (incase of an accident). i can personally attest to Street Faction having one of the best bash bars out there. i stood on it and jumped a few times, not even a creek! once the details are ironed out with them, i will post more details.

[FRpilot]

This is incredible!!

Patiently awaiting fitment pictures.

[GTR-Garage]

Nice work. Even used these are incredibly expensive even in Japan.

[wussmonster]

In for fitment pix. That thing looks incredible.

Wasted effort imo considering S13 Zenki support fits just fine.

Keep in mind most 240s dont have their bumper supports anymore due to front mounts so the bash bar thing im trying get going will help a ton!

I'm in for some vents! Is local pick up available?

The bash bar thing is cool since it's trending now in the scene. I was talking more about replicating a silvia bumper support.

[Rustys14]

In for fitment pics, I'm very excited about this!

[KA24DESOneThree]

I have a little interest in this for my track car, but don't want to chop up a $650 bumper.

I have much interest in this for my future street car. I may need to purchase one. My wife shall never know.

[dorkidori_s13]

that would be super expensive to do! i think shipping alone would kill the idea to begin with given the bumper supports are rather large, awkward and heavy.

[jduke]

So happy this is going down finally. Just gotta sell my pos beat aero bumper and get this!

[va240dude]

Nice work bro, this helps the community a lot!

[crash n' burn]

Looks fantastic..but, any plans to offer a no license plate option?

[souljaseth33]

Does the cost of the bumper include grills, or are they extra?

What? It's a legitimate question. Z1 has been offering a shaved plate holder option on their 99' J-spec for years. Just saying, it'd be a sweet addition if you ever get the chance to make another mold.

[signals13]

I'm so ready to go test fit!!!

OMG yes i have been waiting for these to come out :) ill be buying one soon as i build up the funds

ive been giving your post a lot of thought since youd made it... and after ive spent the last 24 hours mulling it over in my head, the best answer i can give you without getting frustrated in regards to your suggestion or responding with any sort of negative connotation is that ive invested almost $10,000 into this project and i really have no interest in creating a second bumper that removes something so trivial.

[jamg]

yikes, 10k investment.. for just a single bumper.

any plans for a type X?

Considering one original one can fetch upwards to $1,000 it's a worthy investment even if reps are sold at half that. Not to mention the hard part is over.

Plus he did the smart thing and had the grills made as well which is another money maker seeing as originals can sell for upwards of $350 for the pair.

Honestly, I wish I knew this guy on a personal level so I could have invested in this little cash cow of his.

damn at 10k investment and a rough estimate of $690 sell 20 and youll be already in the positive end.....and i know that wont be to hard seeing that this is one of those pieces that most s13 owners want

PUT ME DOWN on whatever list you got !!!

Very nice work

lol, my profit in each bumper isnt that high. i will be back in the green though after the first batch of bumpers is sold. ive already paid off MOST of what i owed on my CC just thru freelance work, aero and shirt sales... but i havent posted a profit since i paid for the molds. most folks think im making a ton of money doing what im doing, but that couldnt be further from the truth. im just taking all of my profit and reinvesting it directly into the business (when i have available funds to do so). i dont touch the money i make with dorkidori... i work a normal day job to pay for my life, dorkidori just pays for itself.

the first batch is most likely going to be limited to 25 pcs for the first run (im going to be buying a ton of vents though, probably 50-75 sets initially) as im still working on all the behind the scenes details, hence why there is no shirt being posted for June either... Julys shirt design will most likely be all Skyline chassis.

[Scope240sx]

this is nice dude!! good stuff mate

[DreamN]

curious, how many in a batch? also how many batches can you get per mold? i know fiberglass molds don't give the same results after a certain amount of molds.

[Munki]

Damn, 10k invested in one bumper mold?! That's a lot...

Anyways, these look amazing! I think you'll sell lots of these, if I had a coupe i'd buy one.

[dorkidori_s13]

curious, how many in a batch? also how many batches can you get per mold?

im running 25 pcs for the first batch. i can run thousands of these without a problem. its a production based mold meant for high quantities.

i know fiberglass molds don't give the same results after a certain amount of molds.

fiberglass molds and injection based molds are 2 different types of mold setups. they share the same basic principals, but, injection based molds are two sided where as fiberglass molds are single sided (meaning you lay the media into the mold instead of inject it). all of my FRP parts molds are production based as well, so they will get a few thousand pulls out of them before they ever start to break down! MOST fiberglass shops just put together winky wonky, slappy slappy molds for people that will get maybe 30-40 pulls at best. the FRP shop i work with has been around for 25+ years producing replica parts for mustangs, camaros and volkswagons so their entire business is built on making the highest quality parts out there! when i fired my first shop and came to the owner of the shop im with now, he was happy to take on the project, showed me around his shop, showed me the differences in the molds the first shop made for me and type of molds he makes... HUGE HUGE HUGE difference. so, again, its all in how the molds are made that decree how long they will last.

Damn, 10k invested in one bumper mold?! That's a lot...

the entire project was $10k, not the mold (the molds were $7500). funny thing is ive spent more money on this project than most 240 kids spend on entire builds anymore... kind of sad though :(

hell, my last coupe i dropped over $17k into! my current hatch is getting up around $10k for all the work ive done to it... im guessing its going to run me about another $10k to finish the car completely, which is fine as im really enjoying restoring my current 240 (#5) and building a car thats a blast to drive!

[actiew]

Hey just let me know when they are for sale. Ill take a bumper and both vents shipped to 34652. Ill figure out my own bumper issues since having the bumper is half the trouble. Just let me know. Good $hit

if i replicate a lip for the aero bumper, its going to be the old school Bomex lip that looked OEM. (fun fact, there was no OEM for the aero bumper... only for the Js/Qs/K/s bumpers)

no worries man, i do it because i enjoy it (for the most part, when im not arguing on facebook lol). i wanted to do something that no one else has, and i wanted to go all out for it too! so yeah :) have aero bumpers... will travel! lol ;)

[simmode1]

i wanted to do something that no one else has, Yeah man, for us guys who want a subtle looking car but aren't really in love with Instant Gentleman, your OEM reps are the way to go. Finally, no more buying legit pieces on ebay or whatever just to find that the pics online didn't really reveal how beat to shit the pieces were once you open the box.

You got to diversify my brother, but if I had a s13 coupes I would totally buy this I was willing to spend 1100 for one of these 5 years ago but could never find a clean one.

Can you feel the excite?! You're the most popular person on Zilvia right now... lol

[dorkidori_s13]

test fit the bumper this morning. took a little coaxing on the drivers side fender, but i will be addressing that this week with the polyurethane shop to make sure its rectified before the production bumpers go out (its nothing thats hard to fix by hand either, took me 10 minutes with a sanding wheel to sort out).

anywho, heres pics as promised! bumper was scuffed and shot into primer for photography purposes before test fitting as solid black doesnt photograph well. Signal_s13's car was used again for fitment purposes, he posts on Zilvia and can verify the fitment of the bumper as he was there the entire time helping out. i was personally involved in the fitting and set the bumper as seen in the photos!

Using OEM brackets to mount to fenders correct?

[dorkidori_s13]

Using OEM brackets to mount to fenders correct?

wasnt using OEM brackets, just nuts and bolts. ive never seen the bracket meant for the aero bumper... and the bumper in the pics is only being held on by the 2 fender bolts and one bolt on each side in the front upper fender area.

That being said, pictures look great, fitment seems on point. Hope i can jump on the first shipment.

[Krusty_s13]

Fitment looks good. I'll be all over one soon.

[Ruff Ryder 6]

Looks awesome. I'm still wanting one. Going for a cleaner look for my street/track car.
Might have to get the whole aero package that you've reproduced.

[dorkidori_s13]

i stopped by the body shop at lunch again to pick up my bumper and take it home (i live 5 minutes from the body shop and about 10 minutes from where i work). while i was there i spoke with the owner and the shop manager which were the 2 guys that fit and jigged the original bumper to the silver coupe in the pics and they both said that when the OEM bumper was fit, they had problems with the drivers side as well... sooooooo it may not be the bumper that is having issues but rather the guys car. the owner of the S13 had mentioned his car had been in an accident so that may be the entire issue right there.

im currently trying to track another guy down here in town who owns a damn near perfect S13 coupe with a silvia face. if i can get a hold of him, im going to test fit the bumper to his car just to make sure of my findings. ive already talked to the polyurethane shop about making that particular spot a bit thinner (as i shaved it down with a sanding wheel like i said) in the production versions.

however, i will say one thing about this bumper... unless you know what youre doing and how to work with polyurethane, i highly recommend having a shop fit the bumper to your cars! our 240s are now 21+ years old, NONE of them are straight anymore and always require modification to fit even OEM parts. polyurethane is capable of being shaped and molded very easily with heat, HOWEVER, this is NOT for the faint of heart or inexperienced to attempt as you can really mess things up. even my cleanest 240 hatch (which was #3) that was a single owner car, i had issues with properly fitting the OEM rear valances to it. i had to oblong the holes in the fender area to allow for movement so the valances sat along the body lines perfectly.

[signals13]

I hope you get the other guy to help soon I want my bumper lol:-)

[DreamN]

So true that our cars require some play when mounting even stock pieces nowadays.

Took me a couple hours (beer breaks included) to be satisfied with my replacement fenders and bumpers for the convertible. Because over time the tabs get bent out of place, brackets don't sit as tightly as they used to, and "love taps" that you shrugged off over the years definitely cause minor headaches when fitting pieces.

Really glad this bumper is finally out. Honestly an amazing job. Can't wait till you have the vents up for sale as those would be the first pieces I want to get my hands on to so that I can recreate the OE Aero fog lamps.

[LeeRod]

man, i thought this thread would be aflutter with tons of new posts now that the mounted pictures are up...


Great job with this project! I've never been into posting on forums but I made an account just for this. Don't let the lack of posts dicourage your work. I'm sure the 240 community has been waiting for something like this for a looooong time. I'm in line as soon as these are ready for shipping.

[S-Nation S13]

fitment looks good .. there's no way any of us here should be to picky on the particulars .. are cars are old and flex out of shaped due to normal wear and tear .. can't wait until you get this on point an move on to production pieces I'll take one just for the sake of keeping my oem one as a man cave decoration piece lol

Im heading over to meet another guy today that owns a super clean S13 hatch with a Silvia face. The car has been cleaned up and painted so heres hoping I can confirm its simply the first donor car that had the snug fitment issue.

[dorkidori_s13]

So the fitment issue was mainly the 1st donor car. Its still a little snug, but nothing that cant be fixed easily with some sand paper and patience. The bumper fit a bit differently on the 2nd donor car, so its literally the CARS themselves, and NOT the bumper... though I will have that small spot thinned out a bit in the mold just to even it up.

I am working on putting the pages up tonight for the bumper and vents to start pre-orders so stay tuned! ;)

[signals13]

Alright that's awesome hit me up I'm ready to get mine :-)

[dorkidori_s13]

koo thanks.

[dorkidori_s13]

the bumpers and vents are now up for sale.

please visit www.dorkidori.com > AERO to pick yours up. BUMPERS ARE LIMITED TO 25 SPOTS A MONTH! ORDER YOURS ASAP! Vents have no quantity cap!

[hobbs]

Any pictures of the fitment on the other test car? Just wondering since the first car had such a large gap in between the top of the bumper and the headlights. Also assuming these were mounted on the test cars without supports?

[DreamN]

Pretty certain the headlight gap has more to do with the headlights and grill being misaligned than the bumper. Passenger light looks crooked. Also, looks as it's tilted upward slightly.

Fit looks like it will be spot on if you have the patience to properly align everything. Just helps that your front end isn't bent to shit to begin with.

i didnt take any pics from the second car. i really just wanted to see if there was a difference mounting the bumper between 2 cars and there was. i had a bit more slack on the 2nd car, but his fenders had buckled at one point so it didnt sit as well as the silver car. i highly recommend a bash bar from StreetFaction with my aero bumper (both the OEM and my unit are just heavy on the fenders). so any spacing you see is bumper sag.

heres a comparison on fitment though...

the only difference between the two pics really in hardware was the OEM pics were using my StreetFaction bash bar that is currently on my car and the body shop used 2 nuts and bolts in the upper fender area. we mounted it up to the silver car as i needed to make sure fitment of the bash bar as spot on as i want to do business with StreetFaction. their bar fits the aero bumper and supports it perfectly!

my aero bumper will take patience to fit! but our cars are 21+ years old now at their YOUNGEST. none of them are straight, none of them fit anything perfectly now, 98% of them have had hard lives and have been beat up badly thru their lifetimes. if you have the patience to properly fit the bumper to the car, it will work just like the OEM one! if you have no experience with polyurethane, i highly recommend you take it to a shop! unless you know what youre doing, youre going to warp the hell out of the bumper!

Fit looks like it will be spot on if you have the patience to properly align everything. Just helps that your front end isn't bent to shit to begin with.

we just had the lights and grill set in place. no nuts and bolts were holding them in properly.

Any plans to offer the bumper, skirts, and valences as a kit? I know you can pick up each individually but you may be able to offer a slight discount on a complete kit if you could find some way to combine the shipping cost. It might be difficult/impossible since each are large awkward pieces to ship but it may be a way to further entice people who are looking for a full silvia aero package. Either way I know where a good portion of my next paycheck is going!

i cant really do combined shipping costs. all aero parts are packed in separate boxes and i am NOT going to try to combined them (besides, i hand build every box you guys get in the mail as well as hand pack everything personally). with the way FedEX handles things, I will not allow my customers to receive broke aero parts because I tried to save a few bucks by cramming everything in the same box.

If this happens...how much picked up?

aero bumper is $500 picked up, side skirts are $250 picked up, coupe valances are $150 picked up and hatchback valances are $220 picked up.

if youre going to pick parts up, i require payment in full before the parts are produced (just like normal)

im sure some of you guys think that im being kind of a dick with pricing, however, im really not. my parts arent exactly cheap on my end and shipping is a pain in the ass. i have to personally hand make and hand pack every part that goes out! i make all the boxes you guys get your parts in from large sheets of cardboard and i always make sure everything is 100% secure inside the box so nothing is ruined upon delivery! if i had multiple molds for everything, pricing would go down, but i am only able to currently afford one set of molds PER item. production based molds ARE NOT cheap by any means, but every mold i own is 100% paid for except the aero bumper molds (which will be paid off within the next month or two).

please keep in mind that all the parts you guys buy from go to funding other projects and other parts for dorkidori. the money doesnt go into my pockets or into my car. profits go to making sure everything is bought and paid for outright so that i have the ability to keep producing new stuff every few months!

Do you have a tentative date for opening ordering up on the second batch? I ordered the rest of the aero recently and was hoping to see the bumper ordering up early august like the website lists.
