To Greddy/Trust Kouki lip... or Not???

[CleanS14]

Hey guys/gals, I need your opinions... I've had this Greddy/Trust Kouki lip for my s14 for some time now... and have been back and forth... putting it on and taking it off simply becuase I think it looks kinda ghey. I don't know if you all know what my car currently looks like but it just looks like an s14 with the stock JDM aero stuff on it minus the lip.

So should I keep the lip or just sell it?

Aaron I know what you think... this is for the rest of them LOL!!!

Thanks,

-Jay

NO Way!!! I'd never buy a car that looked like Nitekids' hahaha :p

Oh and that one thread you started a while back about stupid comments about your car... I have one:

"Is that... that guy Nitekids' car?"

:D

[drifties151]

i dunno how it would look with the kouki sides, it might not flow together right. now if you had some navan sides on that thing, i believe the lines of that lip go perfectly with them. :boink:

[wylin]

jay since you trade cars like pokemon or base ball cards i say you keep the lip since it saves you some rebuying. Thanks for the plug cover u were the only one who i know who had it at that time !

[CleanS14]

Hahaha I don't sell my projects until they're almost complete hahaha... you know my pattern by now don't you Will? Shoot that plug cover was new too!!! I shoulda kept it!!! Oh wells...

[Chernobyl]

I hate that lip. Makes the car look like it has a huge underbite.

Just my opinion...

[CleanS14]

Nevermind about this post...

[ootranceformeroo]

so you make your decision? I have a feeling I know the answer...

[SimpleS14]

Pics would help out alot.....


how about you sell your sides and get Navan or Gracer sides.

[the240sxer95]

i still wanna see pix of the kouki s14 with a GRACER lip...

someone? anyone?

I personally love the lip. I say keep it!

The only time I take mine off is when I am going to be on the stock rims for a while ( rain tires )

[s14xman]

^^^^Kouki not zenki^^^^

[SpeedMonkeyInc]

Sorry. Whatever. So I have a zenki? Does that mean early model or something? Sorry, I am just not cool enough for the JDM drifter internet kid lingo I guess.

[the240sxer95]

yup yup

zenki 95-96

kouki 97-98

greddy full line up, hey jay keep your lip since you never know when u can get another one. Also inti ATI owning Nvidia in benchmakrks these days 9800XT > Geforce 5950. So save your money dont rebuy!

[CleanS14]

:mrmeph:
Oh hell no Will you didn't just say that!!! Everyone knows ati's drivers suck ass!!! And do benchmarks really matter... it's just like saying I have an 800hp s14 being driven by a blind man... It don't matter what you have in your box as long as you can drive it... Plus you don't think that NVIDIA doesn't have anything up their sleeve do you??? and... don't you know we're in more markets than just the graphics niche... hahaha Jay is sooo defensive hahaha

No offense taken though but you know how I gots myself covered financially ;) *diversify* Remember I'm not a dreamer!!!

[wylin]

true nvidia is a large chipset manufactuer now, and has been owning VIA in the AMD athlon and is starting to come out with nice products in the 64 bit processor chipset market.

So jay i say you keep your greddy lip and also get an OEM kouki one and trade off depending on what your doing and if its a track day.

[boosteds14]

I have a kouki with the JDM front bumper and wing. I have been looking for a lip kit for a while also. I was thinking trust but I think you need the trust/gracer sides to match the lip and make it flow correctly.

I was also looking for the Cwest one but even that I am not sure of.

ieatrice--any other ideas floating in your head?

Yeah it's on order hahahaha you know how I do it!!!

Hey boosteds14 I'm just gonna get a whole damn kit right before the convention to finish her off... I'm aiming for August to complete this car and sell it hahaha *oops did I say that* I'm not gonna sell it... well maybe not hahaha I think you guys know my cycle but we'll see if it pans out haha.

chill pill bud...

he wasn't insulting the fact that you have a zenki...simply stating that while the pic was appreciated it was irrelevant because this thread was talking about a kouki model...so your pic did nothing to sway the opinions in this particular instance...

wonder who makes those fender flares on the kouki..i checked the site but it doesnt list it..it has something else listed but it doesnt say flares

[SimpleS14]

Doesn't Final knoexsomething-something make a front lip?

[CleanS14]

Yeah there's various lips out there... I've seen most of them per HyperRev's and Japanese car mags... but I think the right way is just to go with a whole kit... the only thing that looks half decent lip wise on a kouki seems to be the actual OEM aero lip... well IMO at least.

The zenki lip on the other hand is mighty nice!!! I went through quite a few of those 4-5 to be exact through my zenki s14 days hahaha

www.finalkonnexion.co.jp

i see 'front bumper spoiler' for S14 MC 39,800 Yen
but for that price, and the name w/ the restof body kits, its a bumper (full bumper, not just add on lip). rear bumper says "rear bumper spoiler'


i have a Final Konnexion part coming to me shortly hehehehe..:) Exellent!!

[CleanS14]

http://www.finalkonnexion.co.jp/s14mc~fh.jpg

There's the FinalKonnexion front lip... basically like the Greddy/Trust lip... I'm just gonna get a whole kit... or stay stock looking haha.

Aaron, the 180sx kit is sex!!! What part are you getting to only break into 24 pieces like Dorifto LOL!!!

[SimpleS14]

Thanks for the link and pic


Jay - Does your car have metal flakes in the paint? Do you happen to have a paint code for your paint?

I would suggest that you stay stock looking......

















and sell the car to me. :coolugh:


j/m

[Dousan_PG]

nah dood, no FK body kit..some small stuff. :)

oh i didnt see they cut up bumper like that, so it IS a lip and hella pricey too! OUCH!

Yeah I know the car's dirty, I got rock chips... but hey that's what happens on casual touge runs in the rain :D

[toreno]

its HOT with the Lip

[the240sxer95]

hmm not that great of pictures.. but from what i can see it looks good REALLY good :) got any pix from a distance? showing more of the car as a whole :) (with the lip on)

[NZO]

Looks dumb on a white car but black hides the akward parts, looks great. Although OEM is still fresh and clean http://www.zilvia.net/f/images/icons/icon14.gif

[the240sxer95]

i think it looks weird on the white mostly because the bumper is cut and makes it look strange

[ootranceformeroo]

You might be able to pull it off Jay. If its gonna bother you, F*k it. Haha but remember what I said....

No one has really mentioned what's "wrong" yet;) but I think Christian knows...:coolugh:

hmm...I change my mind, now the lip is starting to look funny to me....

[nokeone]

rock the lip..no question..:bow:

[Heartwork]

you know what i said already..

the lip is HOT from the front....but sucks when no sideskirts are even with the lip...and then theres no rear piece to match it...

go GRACE and we'll be GRACE homies:coolugh:
