Kouki 180SX aero thread II - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Matej · 01-07-2010, 04:12 PM

Hello everyone.
Currently I am shopping for the Type-X lip, and here is a list of places I found that still sell it, or at least have it listed on their website.

OEM

Bodykits.biz - 587.48$
- JDM Nissan Parts JDM S13 180sx Kouki Optional Front Lip :: JDM Nissan Parts :: JDM Parts :: Bodykits.biz - www.bodykits.biz

The Dori Shop - 525$ (shipped)
The Dori Shop OnLine

Phase2 Motortrend - 399$
OEM Type-X Optional Front Bumper Spoiler

Replica

GT-1 - 195.48$
GT-1 Motorsports Kouki Style Front Lip Spoiler RPS13

Modiride - 175$
Modiride - AE86 S13 240sx Body Kits and Aero Parts

If you know of any other places, please let me know.
I would prefer to buy the OEM lip, although the cost of the replicas is tempting. GT-1 makes quality products I would assume, does anyone on here have experience with the lip?
Any input is welcome.

Of course feel free to sidetrack this thread and start posting pictures of cool kouki 180SX cars.

I'm willing to bet that the shops that still have it listed just simply have not updated their records.

Matej · 01-07-2010, 04:22 PM

That is what I am afraid of. I will have to give them a call.

wh0aitznic0 · 01-07-2010, 04:29 PM

If a brand new OEM lip came up for sale before I'm ready to buy SexyStyle, best believe I will jump on it. But in the meantime, dare to dream:

franklin93zx · 01-07-2010, 04:36 PM

I wish they are baller aero like type-x for z32's

JdM_JunKiE · 01-07-2010, 05:21 PM

thought about selling the whole kit but change my mind

with that said i want a lip too........

Matej · 01-07-2010, 05:34 PM

Also, what is the best way to remove and reattach the Nissan emblem on the front bumper? I will need to paint the bumper, but I would like to put the emblem back on afterward.

mysync · 01-07-2010, 05:35 PM

Im so sad i sold my kit, love the 180 stuff but i want it on a coupe. Onevia ftw

its either double sided taped or clip that hooks on you might need to pinch it with a plier and push out

They are a little different I'm pretty sure.

Matej · 01-07-2010, 07:07 PM

Bummer. I guess I will redrill the license plate.

Brian · 01-07-2010, 07:10 PM

It shouldn't be difficult at all, really.

JdM_JunKiE · 01-07-2010, 07:17 PM

Interesting. Will look into that. Thanks for the tip.

airhead · 01-07-2010, 10:26 PM

its really just the paint that stand a car out.

you can have a primmed up type x
there is no shape to the car everything looks flat.cant see curves nothing.
or even with cheap paint wit not much gloss.

and have a nice painted type x next to it and you can really see the difference

rims size and ofset too

airhead · 01-07-2010, 10:30 PM

thos clips you can get at ace hardware for like 20cents each.

they also have tamper prof bolts for those who want keep thieves from jacking your lip or watever.

they also have trim bolts that look nice for cheap

Touge_Monster · 01-08-2010, 02:29 AM

My modiride lip almost broke just from putting it on ha ha

s13drob · 01-08-2010, 03:04 AM

How was the fitment on the modiride? Im thinking about picking one up. You can always reinforce the lip with fiberglass

Fitment is actually good.

Customer service and quality of the lip is totally shit.

No idea why another company doesn't start selling replica lips.

Probably because no one has actually gone up to a company to ask for it. By the way I just pmed ChaserAero about it. So hopefully they will see we have interest in a replica lip

ChaserAero · 01-08-2010, 06:50 AM

I'll make it, I'll even do a GB on it so you guys can save some coin. All I need is for someone to find/ get me the lip perhaps and I'll make it. If someone has it, and can provide me with it, I'll give you a carbon one at cost.

Email me directly with your Full name, Address, phone, and zilvia.net user name and I'll compile a list. If it looks like its something that'll take off, I'll start the GB thread on it. I'd say PM me, but my PM box fills so fast, email is easier.

[email protected]

...and just a best guess...$149 for FRP, $299 for carbon would be approx. retail.
