I need help on how to install the 180sx rear valance.... what do I need? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I need help on installing the middle piece. Mine came with no hardware or instructions on how to install it.

My main question: How do I attached the middle tab?

After I took the rear license plate off, this is what it looks like. What hardware should I use/ get to attach the middle tab?

as you can see... its not threaded for any kind of screws. Am I supposed to attach a clip of some sort?

Also, if you have any other installation tips on making the whole thing secure, I'd gladly appreciate it.
thanks in advance.

It's suppose to have a similar clip on it like what Silvia front bumpers use for the license plate. It's metal and it allows for the screw to be screwed in. If I have an extra one I'll mail it to you. What you can use aside from that is a simple nut and bolt setup with a 1" diameter washer. I'm sure there is a way to get a bolt behind that little from underneath.

OoOooohh..

thanks man... you're response clicked the lightbulb in my head.

Are there supposed to be any other attachments other than that? I have a veilside replica, and it came with no holes.

I believe there are 3-4 more for the 180SX center piece. Look at the bottom portion of your bumper or for a picture of an OEM center piece to get some idea of where these are located. Can't really tell you a definite of where and how many as I own a coupe

Well, thanks for you help man..

anyone have pics of where the holes are supposed to be??

It mounts using that center hole w/ a License Plate bolt holder...Mainly

there is a SLit in the part of the bumper to Slide the License plate metal peice through the back - Allowing a screw to go through it.
Then It wraps around underneath the Backside of the rear bumper.There is a Plate Brace that the Pop Rivets attach to the "Flaps" of the Kouki peice.

Center peice Was simple.The outer peices were a Bitch + Mine was the replica But I got it mounted pretty good.Had to shave down quite a bit for it to "follow" the Bumper Curve.
