i think it looks tight, except on the right side the bumper seems to have some gap or the headlight is messed up..but i think it's tight as hell...

Looks very nice. Even though I don't like the rim 100%, I love the blue lip!!! I have that on my silver ASL Garaiya! ... (in GT4, lol)

Looks real clean. Love it. Although I love those rims, they don't blend with the car that well. I think we should swap and you can put those on my hatch. :bigok:

Just one question, what made you decide to get a "friends" knockoff bumper instead of the real thing?
Johny5
04-03-2005, 05:21 PM
ummm, price? jesus just because you have a job in a high up place doesn't mean you need to criticize for "knockoffs" you go purchase your high money top dollar shit and break and buy more. while people like p11 and myself will buy less expensive aero, break it, and buy more less expensive aero...cak.

Probably because he drive his car instead of bringing it to shows...

yeah, we should all get skyline knockoff bumpers and huge sideskirts for our show sluts.

URAS imitation? My buddy has some turnsignals for that same bumper, just from a Zenki URAS kit. PM him at maverick27.

04-03-2005, 06:28 PM
not a uras copy. the bottom is too curved and dipped. uras has a real narrow opening height-wise.

Dude you do not know Roo, You think just because his car in his sig is trick he does not drive it? You don't even know the guy!! People do drive trick cars here in socal maybe not around you but I see a lot of them. You cannot judge someone or if they drive their car or not based solely on a picture.

Are you kidding me, he really does not know why someone would buy a knockoff.

im not getting into this, but i think we all know who initiated the friction...anywho, back to the thread. what size are those SA3Rs? i just got a set and just want to compare to know how itll look. i got 17x8 +35 all around. is it going to look like yours? im considering getting 15mm spacer & studs (or adaptor) and 20mm spacer & studs (or adaptor). they look nice, but i would go with a different lip...but thats just me...overall, very nice and clean

Depending on how low your car is I would go with the 20mm adapters. Your wheels will stick out a lot more than his. My SVT cobrar rims 17x9 +26 in the rear are flush with a 245 40 tire.

actually im in the same boat as drift freaq. it is a legit question. a simple one, that was taken the wrong way by other people. the answer you all are thinking of is "its cheaper" but it could of been...
"i didnt want to wait N-months for my bumper to come"
"i dont want to pay for expensive shipping"
"buying a knockoff is more easy to access than the real deal"
"by buying a knockoff, i can put the savings towards my SR"
as drift freaq said, u guys dont know Roo, nor do you really know why the original owner bought friends instead of the real deal.
ghambino
04-03-2005, 08:45 PM
Don't get it confused, I'm not heated over this. To me it just seems very obvious why anyone would buy a knockoff. What difference does it make? It could be anyone of the reasons you listed, but tell me does it really matter which one it is.

his dont look so bad. i dunno if hes running spacers though, cant see clearly enough...if 20mm around brings it out more than P11's then will i have to pull? i dont mind rolling though

how about you juss let the original poster answer why he bought the knockoff.

I know a guy that has r33 17x9 +30 with a 25mm spacer on a S14. I'm not 100% sure but I think all he did was roll the fenders and camber. Even if you had to pull it won't be too extreme.

Maybe it is a real Friends bumper and he just put it in quotes so illiterate tards wouldn't think it was his friend's car...?

thats what I was thinking. a while back someone was selling a friends bumper and people were like "what kind of bumper does your friend have?" or something similar.
p11driver
04-03-2005, 10:30 PM
woa just got home from work. This is a real friends bumper. I got it from jspec. Yes i plan to lower my car more, but i cant yet because my wheels are destroying the electrial wires that run across. gotta take care of that first. yes this is my 3rd s14. i ordered the clear turn signals from some shop, so they will be on next week when they arrive.
as for the rims, they are all 17x9 +22. tries in front are 235/45 and rear is 245/40.
Wow, I didn't mean to cause so much trouble. I simply wanted to know why. Read what I wrote again...It wasn't meant to be a demeaning or an attack. Obviously from his response, he didn't realize it's a counterfeit of the Uras front bumper. The real Uras bumper is actually pretty damn cheap compared to most other JDM bumpers. I asked the question because I was curious and because understanding why people purchase knock offs when compared to authentic products helps me do my job.
As to you guys attacking me with show car accusations...lol, my previous car was a Celica GT-Four which saw plenty of Touge and Rally action...show car hehe. So just calm down. My S14 is like 99.99% stock at the moment but when it does recieve the Top Secret Aero treatment, I assure you it will see just as much driving as my celica did.

The friends bumper is not a copy of uras, just a little similar.
The lip on uras is much larger.

im not much of a fan of anything agressive looking with our cars but this one is very tastefull, but I about gagged when I saw that horn, jk, im sure youve got plans for that when you get the sr.
Uras has a few different versions of the kit...but yeah, it's an obvious copy.

*NismoS13*
04-04-2005, 11:35 AM
If I had an S14 that would be the kit I would go with, it looks great!! Now I can't wait to see a FMIC sitting in there ;) Keep us updated!
-Adam
It may be an obvious copy but it looks much better than the Uras.
oh really so you think Roo does not drive his car is that what your saying? Do you even know Roo? Man you guys are quick to snap judgments with no real evidence.
He asked a question and I answered it. People buy replica parts because they are cheaper to replace. If you could read you would see I said nothing about Roo. Talk about snap judgements...

but i am not feeling the wheels

looks good! did you need to roll ur fenders? any rubbing in the rear? what suspension are u running?

I was more saying that his car was ugly. I'm sure its a beast under the hood, but the sideskirts/bumper are gross.

friends is a copy of nothing, just another group that makes frp aero.
I dont live in mission viejo, just bought the car at a dealer there.
I havent rolled the fenders, but when i lower the car more i will. im gona pull the rears also. suspension is tanabe sustec pro coilovers with upper pillow mounts. i know some arent down with the 3 spokes, but i love it :)

yea gp sports looks similar too, but different in the bottom corners and middle of the lip.
SimpleS14
04-04-2005, 10:42 PM
I think they all have some similarities. I wish there was a lip simliar to the S15 Gracer lip...that would be hawt.
lol, now i'm confused...it's like the RPS13 type x looking fronts...every company has somethign that looks similar.

so ya, normally i HATE and i really mean HATE 3 spoke wheels. im talkin everytihng from walmart brand up to the advans. BUT those wheels and your car are the perfect combination for those wheels. i can honestly say that i only like those wheels in that color combo on your car. the whole black/blue on black is workin out real nice for ya. :yum:

i didnt get to drive but i went with my friends the two tone silvia, the primered s13 hatches, and the rhd jdm 180sx... your car looks toight in action, did your bro drive the green kouki? witht the same kit?
p11driver
04-05-2005, 12:50 PM
oh i remember those cars. the 180 was sick. my brother and I share the s14, so we had to take turns :/ when i sell my g20 were gona get another s14 so we wont have to take turns.
Drunk Bastard
04-05-2005, 03:14 PM
btw, p11driver, what suspension do you have?
me thinks u needz to drop the front a little more......and or dump em both to eliminate the wheel gap...but the front is a tad bit higher than the rear :ugh:
DocTaDrifT
04-05-2005, 03:15 PM
i like the last pix best
p11driver
04-05-2005, 03:43 PM
suspension is tanabe sustec pros with upper mounts. the front is higher because i was supposed to get shorter tires, and these tires and destryoing the electrical wires running thorugh the fender. im gona zip tie the wires up higher so i can lower the car alot more.
heres another cool pic
