Aero for my car.
 
ok guys help me out with picking a new front and rear bumper, i've got s13 silvia oem sideskirts, but don't really want rear valences. And i do not have an unlimited budget, but i don't want to buy cheap bad fitting aero, so here are my picks, help me decide or offer a better suggestion.

here's some pics of each to help those who don't know what they look like

180sx type-x front

vertex is teh sexorz. but with stock sideskirts its gonna look gay

punxva 12-03-2007 07:04 AM

yea, i'm really trying to find something that will look good with the silvia oem skirts

mrmephistopheles 12-03-2007 07:10 AM

1. it's not 'type x' - just 'kouki'
2. nothing outside of OEM will look right with OEM skirts. The VS:V6 is just kouki 180sx front bumper with lip, but in one piece and with lic. plate holder shaved.
3. #2 should tell you my vote (either one is fine)

punxva 12-03-2007 07:11 AM

how about a pignose with oem lip. it looks amazing with the silvia side skirts

punxva 12-03-2007 07:17 AM

i've got a chuki with pignose, and i'm looking at real aero now

Taniguchi_Is_#1 12-03-2007 08:28 AM

if keeping the silvia skirts is a MUST, then v:s version 6 is the only way to go. well..... you could buy my bings lip, too. haha.

punxva 12-03-2007 08:47 AM

well not an absolute, i just figured since i already had them. the only thing i dont like about the version 6 is the valences, i just think they look funny installed.

punxva 12-03-2007 09:07 AM

i was just browsing yaj, and came across this, i wouldn't mine a kouki bumper and this as the rear valence...

I hope this is just a street car and doesn't see the track often. I would hate to see someone spend more money than needed on aero just to smash it.

nevaland9 12-03-2007 01:45 PM

vertex > origin
sex and price wise
vertex kits are mad more $$$

downshift_sideways 12-03-2007 01:48 PM

Leave it alone. The car looks real good how it is.

I only mentioned the Origin kits because they seem to go a long with what he may be after. As for price Origin kits tend to cost well under a thousand. Plus the kits are, relatively, easy to source within the continental US.

Why isn't there an option for "chose on your own'

It's YOUR car, YOU decide what you want on it :)

It also vastly depends on what wheels you want to run. If you're going with some easy-breezy (beautifull cover girl) wheels, oem anything is good.

Doing agressive ones? get a full kit, most of them you posted are ok.

AznDrftr. 12-03-2007 04:35 PM

your car, your own taste. pick it cuz you like it.

Full-Lock 12-03-2007 05:15 PM

version select V6 definatly.
coolest aero for 180sx..

but

what wheels are you going with? that has a big deal to do with it

mrmeph has one of those. it's an old g-grow valence apparently.

punxva 12-04-2007 07:42 AM

i'm not 100% on wheels yet, i'm really saving up to buy some nice ass 5-lugs, since i'va already got 30mm Z brakes sitting in my room, so i just need to pick up some hubs, since they WestCo justin has them on sale.

cxlo8331 12-04-2007 09:36 AM

kouki front.

lbsam 12-04-2007 12:49 PM

Voted on vertex, but only if you get the real deal.. not the knock off crap.. :D

ROUGE180 12-04-2007 02:01 PM

Vertex or Kouki.. Both of those are sick. Vertex Ridge is sweet too.

j4d3_h4v0k 12-04-2007 03:20 PM

I have always liked the M-sports front, and I think the VS kit looks even better (the front bumper is slightly different). It doesn't go very low in the front either, so it might work with your sideskirts. IDK, I'd have to see it.

I've said this before, but I think the Kouki bumper is too busy. There are a couple bumpers based off the Kouki that look good, but I'm not for Version 6.
