S13 aero front bumper - Page 2 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Ramonesfreak2010 · 07-08-2013, 10:47 AM

Japanese Engine Import had a COMPLETE Silvia front end conversion with the AERO bumper for $1100... Yes thats right, you pretty much bought the bumper and got the rest of the front end for free. I was too stupid and bought a SR instead.

OEM silvia aero bumper and affordable dont belong in the same sentence together.

The truth is strong here.

kaul_ · 08-18-2013, 10:02 AM

Damn I thought the going rate of around $600AU was steep here. Bit of a nitpick but it wasn't just a K's bumper, plenty of Qs got them too.

wacko2 · 08-18-2013, 10:30 AM

y dont someone make replica aero front bumper,

SupaDoopa · 08-18-2013, 01:59 PM

Because they're made from alligator bones and crocodile teeth.

Someone did. They made a run of fiberglass Aero bumpers and were selling on ebay 6-7 years ago for about $450. I bought one, still have it unpainted in my garage.

Remember seeing one of these way back when.

Really should have bought it, the prices of aero bumpers these days are enough to put a man in the poor house. Waiting to see if force works starts knocking them out.

It was close to 10 years ago (2004) and it was C-Tune Motorsports out in Cali. I had one their aero bumper replicas as well.

Q.Smooth127 · 08-19-2013, 02:19 AM

There is someone here that is willing to make polyurethane copies if he can get a good condition one to make a mold.
So whoever has a mint condition one, i would suggest you talk to him to make a mold and maybe a free copy or somethin for lendin him the bumper to make the mold?
He is the guy selling stock silvia polyurethane vent copies.

***dorkidori_s13*** · 10-08-2013, 08:34 PM

so would people be willing to pay $650 shipped for a brand new, polyurethane S13 Silvia Aero bumper complete WITH vents?

also, who would be interested in vents for lets say around $150-$200 a set?

I would pay $650 shipped for a quality poly replica in a heartbeat. I think there would be a decent market for them at that price. Most of Zilvia will probably complain that its too expensive but the ones that complain probably wouldn't be able to afford any sort of quality areo anyway. I would also be VERY interested in poly versions of your skirts.

i have a poly set of skirts for sale (the originals i used to cast the molds). i have since bought a second set that im using for the new molds! if you want the plastic side skirts i have for sale, im asking $600 shipped for them. theyre sanded, primered and ready to paint!

as far as making poly skirts, thats probably not going to happen simply due to costs. for me to produce the bumper, the price of the mold is outrageous! its going to happen, just not exactly sure when! but when it does, itll be all over zilvia and facebook!

I remember you talking about this a couple years ago what is the biggest snag in getting these into production maybe you could start to take deposits if funding is the problem

im not gonna go into detail. i want to start a group buy now for them, but ive got a few minor things to sort out on accepting payment first. after january it will be no problem!

and i have a MAJOR concern with shipping. by the time the bumpers are in the mail, it will be around december and i do NOT want anyones bumper getting lost or misplaced while shipping with FedEX because of the stupid holiday rush.

jduke · 10-13-2013, 10:22 PM

I'd a buy rep in a heartbeat, my oem one is beat to hell.

Doonagoowin · 10-14-2013, 08:21 PM

I've got one I've been tossing around the idea of selling. I'm gonna go with a kit anyways, my rocker panel is farked. I'll need the skirts to cover it up if I don't wanna cut/weld a new one in.

Not clean, it's been ziptied together. Has vents, they're in one piece.

I haven't really made a FS post, but if somebody wants it, I'll debate selling.

Message me, I have pics.

eventually. theres just A LOT of stuff i need to get for the s13 before moving on. damn near everything for our cars is discontinued and has been for a really long time.

***dorkidori_s13*** · 06-07-2014, 09:39 PM

just thought id update this thread as well since im a week away from taking the first orders...

test fit the prototype 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!

see rest of thread here, PLEASE READ ENTIRE THREAD BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS...
