Throw a rock at a window and ask that again.

Chop top cars have custom glass made, but it's not safety glass, they also don't have grids in them for defoggers and antennas. Glass can be heated/molded to any shape imaginable but you can't cut it after it's tempered, so you'd have to make a new mold, pour the glass, heat it, cut it, imprint the grid, then temper it to make a true replacement window.

What about 1500 wet sand paper in the exact size of the whole? lol
I figure theres got to be a way to put a whole through it? lol

But thats what i figured about the regular glass.

Also interesting to know that custom rides dont have tempered glass. Thats pretty fucking sketchy!!

I like the rear bumper; always admired OptionZero's ass....

Not with a lip. I'd rock one, but i heard the lip is almost impossible to find.

markr · 02-26-2009, 01:13 AM

we can get the rear lips etc here in the uk

dont know how much a crate would be to send over though

wgJoY · 02-26-2009, 01:22 AM

not a fan of the bumper. IMO even with that lip I wouldn't rock it.

An S14 with a rear wiper is like tits on a bull. Completely ridiculous.

...and so is that Euro bumper for that matter. Honestly,the only Euro item worth buying are the Zenki glass headlights. Now THOSE are worth every penny. Just don't tailgate big trucks for fear of rock debris.

So in short, +1 for the "don't want the bumper" side of this thread. blech...

markr · 02-26-2009, 10:10 AM

if anyone wanted the glass headlights i probably be able to sort them out quite easily

We already get them here cheap enough at around $420 a pair. Since the US 240SX owners are the most lowballing, cheap ass people on Earth, I doubt you'd do much business with that route unless they were $200 a pair. Anything more than that and you're 'ripping' people off. Trust me. The first time we did a group buy on these back in 1999 we were paying $560 a pair and people were pleased, today though with even better deals on overseas parts (which based on the market are priced even higher now than back then) the new kids complain it's too expensive.

Enna · 02-26-2009, 12:12 PM

New kids are broke bitches. Pay to play the game, that simple. There's nothing I want out of europe, cept maybe heated power folding mirrors. But then again I've never actually had my mirrors freeze on me in vegas. More of a um... forgot the word.... creature comfort I guess?

I would love the rear wiper, but I'd rather just buy another S14 that already has it working.

IMO, if your into rear wipers, switch to Acura. ^_^

Or get a needy person to ride with you and have them squeegee at every red light. Your choice.

markr · 02-26-2009, 04:00 PM

just asking that was all.. just see if i can help people out with my spare time

ChicagoS14 · 02-26-2009, 07:54 PM

Only Euro Option id like are heated seats! But I can retrofit something form an Infiniti or get some aftermarket stuff for that matter so no need for that even.

Germany only. You can nab all the parts from a Pathfinder or Q45 easily. You want to stick with pre-2000 parts to avoid having to add a control unit of some kind, the Titan, Armada, and Maxima stuff is way more complicated to wire in. I've got all the stuff I pulled from a 98 Q, I just haven't found the time to pull the seat fabric off and lay the grids in. Shit is damn nice to have though.

NiSmOKnIghTsRBS14 · 02-26-2009, 08:20 PM

i want one.......

kornaz · 02-26-2009, 09:30 PM

Any ballpark prices on the bumper with the lip?

If you're inquiring about the Z Edition lip, forget it. There's only 201 examples of that lip ever made, all sold in Germany on the Z Edition model. The user 'Cookie' in England commissioned them to make one more from the mold, he has number #201. OptionZero is the only one I know of to have it in the US. I had one for a bit too, made a deal with a guy in Spain to ship it over, but I didn't like the fitment on the US bumper and sold it back to someone in the UK. For more than I paid, which was near four figures. Without shipping. It's the most expensive piece I've ever bought for a car besides my Volk wheels. And they were only $65 more.

ew anyone else notice that ugly wiper on the back window???

Wow. Welcome to reading. No one talked about that already in this thread. Not a soul. Seriously.

Mangudai · 02-27-2009, 07:22 AM

I like the bumper. I'll try to source one when I get a chance to paint my car.

haha nice one.

But seriously, this guy got the idea to start this (Euro Rear Bumper) from me in another thread he started. I do like the Euro-Rear bumper and wiper. I do agree that the bumper would look better with the crazy expensive mouldings. I also know that the Euro glass would be incredibly impractical to ship. Plus i've heard that alot of people in Europe "shave" the wiper anyways. But with a currently scratched to shit and gouged (sp) rear stock bumper...the Euro seems liek a cool option IMO. Seems liek a better idea than getting a hella expensive body kit

Ali 556 · 02-27-2009, 09:57 AM

a friend of mine bought a German Spec S14 it came with this :

1 - Sr20det Stock (duh) also the dealer offerd FMIC as an option.
2 - Z32 front brakes (duh).
3 - LEATHER ELECTRIC seats. (driver + pass).
4 - Rear fog lights BOTH WORK.
5 - No sun roof (lighter)
6 - NATS Key (the key with the eletric thing so the car will not get stolen by thuges)
7 - Front lip. (option Kouki greddy lip.)
8 - BBS Rims 17x8+20 Allaround. (dealer option)
9 - xenon front lights FROM THE FACTORY.
10 - Rear wiper.
11 - The Front seats are heated.
12 - 260kmh speedo. (~150mph).
13 - 7500 rev limiter. (duh).

All that for 26000 $ back in 98...now he won't sell it even for 15K$

Hope this help,

Ali

P.S

after seeing his i've started calling my US-Spec 95 Zenki SE the POS..rely

projectRDM · 02-27-2009, 01:02 PM

NATS keys are standard on all UK models.

Grimace · 02-27-2009, 04:29 PM

I like the EDM bumpers, and was trying to find one around last year. I'll be looking again by the end of this year.

Also, If you look around on ebay you can find fiberglass replicas of the Z rear valance. I'm sure it won't be OEM fitment, But fiberglass is pretty easy to work.

DJ_Sunrise · 02-27-2009, 06:13 PM

Personally, I'm a fan. I like it, and if the price wasn't shit rediculous, I'd rock it.

-Bart

OptionZero · 02-27-2009, 07:12 PM

If you like it, cool, but you'll never get one. Move on to your next fav and get that instead.

If you don't like it, no problem, you'll never see one in person. Just add me to your ignore list and you'll never have to see my sig, either.

I have never seen a replica on ebay, i suspect it's a different lip that's being confused for the z-valence. The piece doesn't fit on the USDM bumper anyways, so there'd be remolding involved.

projectRDM · 02-27-2009, 07:38 PM

True. The SRB replica looks nothing like the Z Edition, although it is a full lip it's way more aggressive. It actually looks like ass on a car with a stock aerokit, needs something crazier like a CWest or Origin front and sides to look right.

Daniel H · 02-28-2009, 09:04 AM

SRB power now do an exact copy of the Z edition rear lip.
