S13 Aero Bumper & 180 Kouki Lip Reproduction Interest! (Produced in Polyurethane) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

***dorkidori_s13*** · 12-26-2011, 10:01 PM

in speaking with a customer of mine today, i proposed an idea to him. he owns and runs a company that produces high end body kits for the 370z and G37. he also owns and runs a company that produces super expensive 3 piece custom wheels. i shot the idea by him about having him reproduce the S13 silvia aero bumper and 180sx kouki lip in polyurethane for me to sell to you guys. he was very interested in the idea.

now, before you chime in and bitch about quality and me knocking off OEM nissan parts, i want to get this out in the open. before he releases a product, he produces a prototype, this protype is fitted and properly molded to the car for 100% fitment (these are 370z and G37s were talking about). zipties and body clamps dont cut it. once he is happy with fitment, he makes the final mold and goes to town. if i contract him to produce these, they will be clean and properly fitting replicas in polyurethane...not cheap fiberglass copies that shatter when you look at them wrong. he will even be replicating the plastic vents as seperate pieces so you wont be stuck with a half complete bumper. the 180sx kouki lip would be a direct bolt on for the kouki bumper as well (just like oem fitment). im halfway tempted to have him reproduce the 180 zenki lip and zenki/chuki s13 sideskirts.

pricing for the bumper and lip would be VERY fair. we have a basic price point that is in talks and compared to what you guys are paying for used, broken, torn and beat up originals, the prices will be a down right steal.

so who would be interested in purchasing one? i have a VERY low buy-in limit so they would go to production even if i received 10 orders.

im going to try to produce these with a "aero by dorkidori" badge on the inside of them too

gunmetalr32 · 12-26-2011, 10:07 PM

i wanted to do these as well .. but crimsonrockett already makes nice 180sx type-x lips replicas. for a decent price.. it would be nice if you could do the lips in polyurethane. for around the same price..

as far as the s13 aero bumpers go .. i really wanted to make them but i couldn't figure out how to replicate the mesh in the grills... if you could do that then your golden

s13_rb25 · 12-26-2011, 10:34 PM

if you can replicate a 180sx kouki front bumper, and the fender extensions and lip, I'm interested.

dude they make all but the lip still and they arent even expensive just incase you were unaware of this fact,

This sounds like a great idea for both do you have pictures of his other work so we have an idea of quality, unfortunately I have a lip and nothing to put a aero bumper on, although depending on price I could still spend money on stuff I don't need

BOROSUN · 12-26-2011, 10:48 PM

1 vote for the kouki lip..what the heck?

baliw619 · 12-26-2011, 10:48 PM

Count me in for a type-x lip!

h3rb · 12-26-2011, 11:07 PM

Called Fontana Nissan and they said that the left bumper extension for the kouki 180sx is now discontinued.if you make the whole bumper in one piece with the lip,then count me in!it will be so awesome though if you make a hot road kit in polyurethane ill be all up on it!

chiboy002 · 12-27-2011, 12:45 AM

hot road in urethane wouldnt be cost efficient because not only are there very few in the US, but getting one that isn't used yet would be expensive

ik0n · 12-27-2011, 12:48 AM

I'm interested in the aero bumper!! I'd take 3. Right now.

SupaDoopa · 12-27-2011, 01:44 AM

If you're doing aero for stock bodied 240 hatches with pop ups, count me in.

naw_speed · 12-27-2011, 05:26 AM

great idea... i would be down for thes13 aero. keep us posted when there up for sale.

eli-s13 · 12-27-2011, 09:41 AM

+1 on the s13 silvia aero

kewilso3 · 12-27-2011, 10:06 AM

In for s13 silvia aero bumper

racebread240sx · 12-27-2011, 10:41 AM

Interested in both

Ciel · 12-27-2011, 11:34 AM

How about replica S14 Zenki Navan bumpers? I'm sure you can get 10 + people in on those, and I would be one of them.

slow_sr20 · 12-27-2011, 11:48 AM

i would be down for a reproduction silvia factory aero bumper.

93s13vert · 12-27-2011, 12:00 PM

i would love a silvia factory aero bumper i'd buy one today lol.

Jonathong · 12-27-2011, 01:06 PM

Where's the s14 lovin?

encludemeout · 12-27-2011, 01:43 PM

I don't see the need to make a lip really. Like someone posted earlier, crimson already makes an awesome replica type-x lip at a decent price and from what I've seen, it fits great.

Replica hotload though..

Flicktitty · 12-27-2011, 02:02 PM

Silvia Aero bumper would be the shit! reduce those $800+ USED ones you see pop up.

drivens13 · 12-27-2011, 03:59 PM

S13 aero and S14 navan bumper would be a good idea. Nobody has done these yet and both cost to much used.

RedRedWine · 12-27-2011, 05:19 PM

s13 silvia aero bumper please and thankyou

w0nderbr3ad · 12-27-2011, 05:50 PM

Polyurethane > FRP > FG

Count me in for type X even though no longer own a 180. Willing to buy a 180 if I had a nice lip again haha.

bentmode360 · 12-27-2011, 07:25 PM

replicate some bn straight up lol

AutechKouki · 12-27-2011, 09:05 PM

I have a jdm aero bumper but only thing I'm missing is the vents.
I'm in for vents even though I feel I'll lose exclusivity of having the jdm aero bumper.
What we really need is s13 coupe valences!

junn · 12-27-2011, 09:23 PM

How about a.lip with the aero bumper

speedgod^s13 · 12-27-2011, 10:28 PM

If the pricing for your urethane lip is around the same, or a little more than the fiberglass ones currently for sale, I'd be down.
