Aero for my car.

[punxva]

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]

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

[mrmephistopheles]

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]

how do yall think D-max kit would look?

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

[punxva]

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

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

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]

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]

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

[Antihero983]

dude, that D-max bumper is teh sex!

its good to see a front bumper that incorporates some of the style of the Chuki nose!

Isn't origin expensive ish? he said hes kinda on a limited budget. My vote is for the vertex kit. If it looks weak with silvia skirts then just buy them at a later date. 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]

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

[downshift_sideways]

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.

[Ninjabread]

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.]

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

[Full-Lock]

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

but

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

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

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


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

[punxva]

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]

kouki front.

[lbsam]

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

[ROUGE180]

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

[j4d3_h4v0k]

+1 for origin pieces
thats whats goin on my sil80 when i have the $$$

[OptionZero]

Get that shit (G-Grow or G-corp i assume?)

get a kouki aero all around

done

[punxva]

yeah i'm going to try getting grant to pick that up for me, if he can find one around him.

[Team Aero-K]

wait, what about works9......It is easy to get, if you know the right people. Check it out!

[PoorMans180SX]

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.

[BBSilvia]

vertex ftw!....but only cause thats what i have

[kevtrinh]

get better wheel fitment first then start looking @ aero. works9 looks cool though

[punxva]

well i'm obviously looking for wheels as well, but i'm not going to run the aero before i put the wheels on, i work at a body shop, so i just wanted to get this ordered and have it here, so i can do all the nessisary work and paint so i can just spend one day putting on the wheels and aero and call it a night

[xamraci]

the OEM x or the vertex...OEM x is hot but god its expensive...

the vertex is SO SEXy though:aw:

[Skullavera]

Go with the VS V.6.

[punxva]

well i'm really leaning towards the Vertex, the more i look at it, the more i'm liking it.

[RR777]

voted vertex out of those choices, but the URAS is my personal favorite

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

well i'm really leaning towards the Vertex, the more i look at it, the more i'm liking it.

yeah, vertex looks good. plus, i'll feel more original when i shoot for an itai blue 180 replica next year. haha. :hsdance:

[projectdrifter]

works9 is the sex. id go with that personally.

[S13Boosts]

vertex!:love:

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

i voted vs v6 but vertex is nice!














see.....

[eek]

u can never go wrong with OEM. it will always fit spot on.

[punxva]

haha, i work at a body shop, so i'll make anything fit spot on, thanks for your input guys

[KA-T_240]

If you get something else. Let me know if you are going to sell your sideskirts. I am going to be looking for some this spring.

[Ca_laurier]

that silver 180sx was brought over here by a friend of mine, and if it wasn't a hica's car i was debating about buying it. all i can say is that kit is HOT and you will never see someone with it over here

[punxva]

i'll let you know about selling mine

[hotlavaflow]

I'm looking for some silvia sideskirts right now. I say you sell yours and get full aero. Vertex or Works9.

[Y4555]

Qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqh

[kyles1988]

Vertex is delish. But I'm with Ed on wondering how it will match

[punxva]

well i've decided if i actually go with non oem aero i'm just going to sell my sideskirts and go with the correct ones for matching sake

[ripnbst]

Good descision.

[EJ253]

wy are you comparing VS and Vertex?

[lflkajfj12123]

vs6 for sure the type x, dmax, works9 all would look good with nice paint

or if you're going to get some other aero you can pull off shitty paint jobs or none at all hah

[Nismoknightska-t]

oem aero !!!!

[Bobafreak]

oem aero as well. too many vertex kits out there lol.

[kevtrinh]

there are more oem aero kits out there too....

[powersteeringless180sx]

like the version 6. it's basically the type x but probably way cheaper. i want BN front and rear myself.

[Rob's S14]

VS V4. Simple and clean.

[TheBigDirty]

oem type x-simple and clean

[95KA-Turbo]

Sell the oem sides you have and buy the full VS 6 kit, it is really pointless to spend a lot on aero since it usually just get trashed anyway...assuming the car is A) driven at all and B) is as low as it should be.

[punxva]

yeah i just ordered my stance gr+'s last night so i'm going to sell those skirts once i get the VS-6

[mtx450]

Nice dude. I'm really digging that D-Max kit. I sent Ravspec a PM for pricing. Anyone know where else I can get it from?

[Drifter Z]

OEM 180sx Type-X is perfect :)

[kevtrinh]

no such thing as perfect.

[Outrider]

Vertex kits are the best looking kits. They are very clean but add a subtle "not stock" look to a car. That's the way I like it. Hopefully everything works out for you man.

[dorkjoey240]

how about INGS? http://www.bulletproofautomotive.com/items/ings%20s13%20front.jpg
http://www.bulletproofautomotive.com/items/ings%20s13%20rear.jpg

[punxva]

too pricey for me haha. yeah ive got the coilovers on and am now looking at wheels and then i'll get aero after i decide on size and offset

[kensreliableb18b]

yeah i'm going to try getting grant to pick that up for me, if he can find one around him.

shieetttt good luck on getting the g-grow rear valence. i was looking for it on and off for years. tho i hear soomeone made copies of it???? who knows...i got an alternative rear valence thats not oem (oem's ugly!)

good luck!

oh btw, if you're planning on that vs kouki copy you might as well go with the oem kouki with lip--more durable.

[punxva]

i'm buying this from a guy on here....

[allntrlundrgrnd]

sexy shit man

[an_orange_s2k]

vertex or OEM

[kevtrinh]

so...wheels?

[Iwant2slide_S13]

Vertex fo sho, pure sex :bigok:

[punxva]

right now im running Datsun 280zx Turbo wheels 14x6 +12 offset for now...

[downshift_sideways]

I vote other.

Save the money, and buy yourself an SR, upgrade that stock looking KA.

Or spot weld that chasis. 200k yikes!

(I'm basing this decision on your pic. gallery)

[punxva]

my ka is built and im running a gt28rs on it atm

[ByeByeSti]

gahh should ahve went with vertexx

[s14_legend]

definitely vertex or oem cant go wrong

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

you are like a month late!:duh:

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Looks like NiCO came here and voted for the OEM.

[roddy]

i'm for vertex

[Silverbullet]

get what you like, but I like the VS 4. Everyone has Vertex, and Kouki style just doesn't do it for me, unless its a daily or something and need to be reasonably high off the ground.

[kyoru]

voted for the kouki

[RPS13-604]

V:S V.6 then widebody that bad boy

[nismo 240sx]

i would go with the version slecet v.4 i looks like the vertex which both are really good looking and you will save your self a coulpe of bucks

[snoozy]

Uras type IV FTW!

[Unique]

I would go for vertex or oem

[DCP94]

i would go with version v.6 or just do the kouki 180 front...i like the stock look ino

[besTint]

why not vertex ridge?

cuz you are 2 YEARS TOO LATE!:sadwavey:

[RPS13-604]

VS Ver 6! i have the vs v6 front bumper and im gonna get ride of my current sideskirts and rear bumper for the vs v6 sideskirts and rear valence. Cause the sideskirt i have now which is a ver.5 hang lower than my front bumper and it doesnt flow at all so i decided widebody plus oem look is gonna look badass

[punxva]

yeah i ended up getting works 9 knock off recently from Chaser.

[Om1kron]

then why is this dumb ass thread open still??? lock it, you got the aero.
