DorkiDori S13 Type-XC Valances | PICS IN THREAD | COMING EARLY FEB - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

***dorkidori_s13*** · 01-06-2020, 11:02 AM

I am VERY proud to introduce what will become my DorkiDori S13 Type-XC Valances. S13 coupe guys have been asking me for years to make 180sx "Type-X" valances for their cars... I was originally going to start the project in 2018, but I ran out of time with the coupe I was using. Skip ahead to just recently and all of the details for the project sort of fell together perfectly.

These are not the half assed "Type-X" coupe valances with just the sides extended that those other "brands" make. These are a 100% original part. EVERYTHING about the valances has been edited to make them fit the S13 Coupes rear bumper PROPERLY (and this includes the center piece). Ive spent roughly 16 hours cutting, reshaping and glassing these pieces back together to ensure they not only look amazing, but fit properly.

The photos below are how my V1H Valances (OE 180sx "Type-X" valances) fit the on the S13 Coupe straight out of the box... The additional photos are after Ive edited everything to follow the S13 coupes rear bumper properly. I still have quite a bit more work to do extending the pieces, changing a few angles, adding body lines back in and making everything work together 100%. I am very very excited to get these done and have them available for everyone by early February!

Good stuff!

definetly looks like ANOTHER quality product (which i may buy, along with the skirts). Just have to figure a nice not so noticeable way to easily swap them every now and then.

Keep up the good work!!!!!!!

The OEM aero spats for the S13 Silvia aren't extended 180SX ones...they're their own thing.

i think you misunderstood me... there are a few brands out there who have taken the 180sx kouki valances and done nothing more but extended the sides to match the coupes rear quarter panels. those brands did nothing to fix the wrap around pieces to make them follow the body lines properly, nor did they fix the center pieces curve (hence why OE 180sx kouki valances in their stock form look stupid as hell on a coupe).

i shot the valances into primer today after spending all weekend working on them. noticed a few spots im still not happy with. will try to wrap them up this week. was HOPING to get them off to molding today, but thats a no go! not until i fix whats bugging me!
