I found this picture in the Kouki 180sx thread. I want to know more about the front bumper, I searched couldn't find much about it. How rare/ hard to get, what do they typically go for (how much), will it work on a vert?
Anyone have one for sale!?

Thanks

[Slammed180]

Why wouldn't it work on a vert? it's still an S-chassis right?
You can buy the bumper new from nissan. The lip is discontinued and rare.

You should asked that Question in the Kouki 180SX Thread.. everyone in there can give you the best answer's..

[Slammed180]

For OEM bumper and bumper extensions it's like $350.
You can buy a replica Kouki lip on RHD Japan.

Damn, thats a lot of money 455 bucks for a lip, why hasn't someone made a mold of it yet? Are there any knock off ones, similar?

No, and I hope they never do.

Keeps all the fanboys from ruining a good style. Everything S-chassis is already stupid cheap. If you want a good look, and good quality, pay the money.

If not, put some raingutters on as your lip.

Yea but now you're talking almost 700 bucks for a front bumper and a lip, thats ridiculous. 450 is reasonable

[kalypso123]

hot road lips in japan are cheap at about 210 USD... but the shipping is a task and a half.

Quality = $

Knock off = SH!T = FANBOY = CRAP = Buy a Honda!

You managed to miss the 82 page thread on Kouki stuff? Retire at internet.

Ah you really are a noob aren't you. Or the typical new cheap ass 240 kid.

Seriously a full Kouki factory aero front will actually cost you $700-900 with all the individual parts assembled. You want stuff that fits right because it was designed to fit? You pay for it. You want shit that does not fit then you cheap out.

Now if you want to put the shit on your car that makes it look like every other ill fitted kit 240 out there go ahead. If you want to step up and have it fit nice and look right? Pay the money and stop complaining about the costs.

It's only ridiculous if you're cheap and like poorly made knock-offs.
If you like taking pride in your vehicle and the parts you've accumulated, it's not unreasonable at all.

Fuck honda. I'm just asking questions, no need to get defensive. I always find it amusing that people who live in California that make a shit ton of money don't have a problem shelling out 700 bucks for a front end. Minimum wage in FL is 7 bucks an hour, 700 bucks is like three weeks worth of money for some people.

It has nothing to do with that. Its the general attitude you express at the cost of hard to get parts. The Kouki lip has always been notoriously expensive, even when it was still manufactured by Nissan.

Fact is it was a low demand item, especially stateside, where people got cheaper and cheaper about what they would put on their 240.

Now it is no longer manufactured. Its just as expensive used! Now a a couple of companies make copies and charge nearly the same amount for it.

Modding a car right is not a cheap endeavor. If you cannot afford to do it or are willing to spend the money to do it you should not!

What you fail to realize is though it may look like we make a shit ton more money in California(in your own words) our cost of living is much higher than in FL.

Now suck it up or shut up because you are going over a well covered subject.

Like I said, I asked a couple of simple questions and I get shit on. Thanks guys, I feel really welcomed here. I asked "how rare are these items" I didn't get a response, someone said they were discontinued, that was all. I didn't ask for your opinion on what you think is cheap, and I certainly don't appreciate being called cheap.

[NeedCAforS13]

Thanks guys, I feel really welcomed here.

If you don't like it I'm sure the zilvia staff will be happy to return the money you spent on membership dues... oh wait.

And you're an idiot. I'm from Florida too. It's no excuse. LEARN TO SAVE MONEY.

That's because you missed the entire thread that was dedicated to the discussion of anything kouki 180sx related.

Good job.

It doesn't take Californians to realize that you should have just read that thread, and then asked the question if you still couldn't come up with an answer in that thread.

welcome to 2009 (believe it or not, in 2001 it was even more expensive)

I always find it amusing that people who live in California that make a shit ton of money don't have a problem shelling out 700 bucks for a front end. Minimum wage in FL is 7 bucks an hour, 700 bucks is like three weeks worth of money for some people.

what an ignorant ass comment. so you assume everyone in california is rich? maybe some people desire quality and save if they can't afford it. besides, minimum wage in california is $8/hr, and we get taxed in california on top of federal income tax. there's no state tax in fl.

LOL you made comments on the price of items and in those comments complained about the price. I.E. possibly expressing a cheap attitude. Now having opened yourself to that, you actually labeled yourself as being cheap.

Excuse me for drawing that conclusion based on your own words. A simple search on your part could have saved you several posts short of ridicule, for fumbling the internet ball.

[!Zar!]

rich280zxt: I am so suck of fucking cheap ass people.

I wish I could punch all poor people in the face.

If you can't afford it, don't fucking buy it.

Also, I'm fucking sick of all this kouki 180sx bandwagon shit.

Does your car even have any mods to warrant spending money on aero yet? Or is it a pile of shit like I am 99% sure it is.

Oops. Just noticed you drive a vert. Now I am 100% sure of shit status.

[CamryOnBronze]

That is a knock off one...

And LOL at the Cali vs. Florida comment... my full oem kouki front with oem lip is on the way from J-land right now, and I live/work in MICHIGAN... the most garbage broke state ever, lol.

Kouki is dope, but I'm so glad I didn't jump on the bandwagon.

[CrimsonRockett]

You're cheap.

Now, quit being a dumbass and search.

Like others stated, we have a MASSIVE thread dedicated to that specific aero.
