S14 Kouki Front lip

[Victol2]

Hi, I recently damaged my version select bumper, and I just replaced it with the OEM

Problem is the OEM looks really awkwardly high compared to the VS sideskirts and rear bumper I have

I was wondering if any well known website sells a 1998 240sx front lip to ADD ON to my OEM front bumper to make it look lower. Thanks!

There are already threads on this subject. SEARCH

I have searched for around 15 minutes, with different keywords and no luck.

Some links would be helpful?

^That's funny because I just did a quick search and got plenty of threads about kouki front lips. Don't be lazy.

Mind telling me your keywords?

I have searched 1998 240sx front lip/kouki front lip/S14 front lip

And no results.

Also at times when I press the "search" my firefox just loads to "Done" and it shows nothing

Go to the advanced search page.... type "kouki lip".... search titles only.

Done

Found some private sellers, no websites that sell it though.. anyone know of any?

[screaming6]

i can almost tell you for fact that the answer is no...i looked for the longest and couldnt find it...

got a local one for 160 which is pretty cheap..

search for "kouki lip replica" someone made a mold for it once and then sold it. If you can find out who he sold it to then maybe he can make you one.

BTW nissan doesnt have them anymore either. Good luck

1) The mold was sold and the person who bought it never went into producing them. I've checked.

2) The replica lip fitment sucks! They're fiberglass as opposed to OEM's urethane and don't usually line up too well. Not to mention if your car is lowered and you hit a speedbump or steep driveway you can kiss that puppy goodbye.

3) Nissan does have them, you may just have to have them order it from another dealer. You shouldn't make false comments on something you don't know for sure. :spank:

If you want an aftermarket one (new), see link below. You can buy a bunch from them (they offered group buys in the past) and then sell them here to save on shipping. Shipping is very expensive from the UK to here. Let me know if you do bc I want one.

I couldn't find it anywhere when I was in the market for one a few months ago.
A few reputable sources told me it was discontinued and no longer available.
Ended up getting one from Jspec.

Do NOT buy from that eBay seller. I bought that lip, and received it broken in 3 pieces. I had to go through hell to get a new one, and had to pay for return shipping. The second one wasn't cracked in pieces, but it had hairline cracks throughout it. It fits like ass also, I had to heat up the fiberglass and bend it as much as I could to get it to fit decent. About a month later I hit a possum and it broke into pieces. I bought an OEM one after that, and it's so much better quality. I've scrapped on speedbumps, hit pieces of tire in the road, etc. The OEM lip can take a beating

Long story short, get OEM or you will regret it.

Where did you get your OEM?

Also thanks for input, will help in my decision alot

Anyone else have expierence with this seller?

His username on here is Full-Lock. He used to have the mold and I think even sold a few of the replicas but then sold it off. As for the user that bought it off of him he never produced them again from what I've seen.

Is the one you got from Jspec OEM?

Also, I'll check with my local nissan dealer to see if they can source any. When I ordered mine he was able to get in about a 1.5 weeks. Let me see what he says.

USDM OEM Kouki lip is still readily available at Nissan.

The Nismo Shop : West Covina Nissan : Nissan USDM Kouki S14 (97-98) Front Lip (http://www.thenismoshop.com/catalog/240SX_180SX_Silvia-Front/Nissan_USDM_Kouki_S14_(97-98)_Front_Lip.html)

The JDM OEM Kouki lip was discontinued some time ago. Just as ManoNegra said, this coming from reputable sources (aka Nissan Parts Managers, JDM Part Importers, etc).

If you're trying to find a JDM Kouki lip, good luck. Most people who have one are either not selling them at all or don't sell them cheap.
