Lol Yup all the aero bumper is is just the chuki version of the 180sx.. How much do you think the fiberglass version will run?

Actually, youve got it backwards. S13 Aero package debuted with the S13 Sivlia in 1989. Nissan redesigned the 180sx bumper with the S13 Silvia Aero Bumper in mind. But the Aero bumper infact did come before the Chuki bumper.

Not sure on fiberglass pricing yet, need to discuss with shop.

I see how they are similar, but the chuki front looks unfinished at the bottom versus the Sil Aero; without an aggressive lip. That's my point.

See below from the aero thread:
http://zilvia.net/f/chat/456607-chuk...ml#post5193607

Versus the more continuous front of the Sil Aero that you posted earlier.

Needless to say, guess there would not be enough interest.

Thanks! GLWS

Good luck with the venture man... if I didn't already have a mint aero bumper waiting for paint, I would of wanted a urethane copy from you hands down. If you end up doing some aero skirts then I might be interested. I have some now, but they are VERY rough.

beto300zx · 12-19-2013, 11:14 PM

I'm down for a urethane one, could put a down payment too!

the dorkidori V1 side skirts are OEM S13 Aero Skirt reps. if you want a set, they will be available again starting the first week of January at a reduced rate all month ($275 shipped anywhere in the US)

***dorkidori_s13*** · 12-19-2013, 11:18 PM

and im REALLY starting to learn toward fiberglass for the front bumper. again, it will allow greater control on the products fitment! polyurethane is great, but its going to be hard to adjust certain aspects of the bumper as its going to be a 6 piece mold! the fiberglass mold would be a single piece setup and would be very easy to change if something didnt fit correctly!

plus the polyurethane molds are going to put me close to $10k in debt, unless i get a TON of immediate adopters, I have no interest in being that far in debt again! The fiberglass mold i could most likely float in cash i have on hand. ive also got 3-4 more projects lined up for Jan/Feb so I REALLY need to watch my budget with because they NEED to happen ASAP as most of you S13 coupe and hatch owners will LOVE what im releasing!

signals13 · 12-20-2013, 02:16 AM

Will the bumpers be available for local purchase?

***dorkidori_s13*** · 12-20-2013, 09:00 AM

yes, please PM/email when theyre available.

signals13 · 12-20-2013, 05:53 PM

Koo I would like the poly one but if you end up doing frp that's good too.

i will release that information when i have a final price for the bumper shipped (im still in the planning stages for everything). im getting a price quote on monday for the fiberglass mold and how much each bumper will run me in FRP sooooooo, ill know a lot more after that. if i can keep the FRP pricing comparable to the polyurethane quote, then i can do these things for damn good numbers! please keep in mind that pick up will only be available Monday - Friday 9am - 6pm and Saturdays 10am - 12pm, no exceptions. you will have to drive out to my day job in henderson to pick the bumpers up!

im also working on new s13 coupe and hatch valances right now too. theyre actual original designs that will match my side skirts a lot better! i know everyone is going to get a huge kick out of them

sydwayzSil80 · 12-21-2013, 08:54 PM

Frp, I'd be down to get another aero even though I already have an oem one.

e30gangsta · 12-23-2013, 12:19 AM

In for one, doesn't matter the material. I was going to go full aero but theres something about a Stock bodied s13 sil with aero bumpers, oem style skirts and rear valances. Clean and simple.

Asuka · 12-23-2013, 05:03 PM

I'm really tempted to replace the rest of my Aero stuff with the Dorkidori stuff and run around calling it the Dorkidori s13 coupe like a jackass.

Chillswitch · 12-24-2013, 06:45 AM

Yup. FRP is fine, I'm all about some quality control

Totally down for side skirts!

twofouroh · 12-24-2013, 10:36 AM

I'm up for ordering please pm me the details

Bump for interest

***dorkidori_s13*** · 01-07-2014, 08:56 PM

i received pricing for the fiberglass version and i wont be able to keep it in budget. its going to be quite a bit heavier than the urethane version and would cost over what the plastic version will to produce. So this means im going to HAVE TO go the urethane route!

i will update on this project as it comes along. i may have to push it out to febraury or march just due to how much the mold is going to run me. though i MAY be able to drop the mold pricing a bit with a slight modification and new part...again, i will update in a bit.

badbob2121 · 01-07-2014, 09:02 PM

Awesome idea.. Ill be keeping an eye on this thread for sure!

S13MATT · 01-07-2014, 09:56 PM

I would love to buy one of your Silvia AERO Bumpers when they're ready! I can't wait!

purchasing my shirts and currently offered aero parts helps wonders!

EmperorX · 01-15-2014, 10:43 PM

Ever thought about doing an UpStart or GoFundMe? I definitely want one whens its done.

***dorkidori_s13*** · 01-15-2014, 11:24 PM

nope, if im going to fund it, its gonna be out of my own pockets

im meeting with the shop monday to go over a few things to get the costs down as ive come up with a solution to a particular spot that will not need to be included anymore (and no, its not the vents)

Chaluska · 02-07-2014, 08:08 PM

Bump bro! msg

***dorkidori_s13*** · 02-07-2014, 09:31 PM

thats on hold for a bit. im not comfortable going close to $10,000 in debt to make the mold right now. ive got a few freelance gigs im working on plus some more shirts, once i have more physical cash to put down (which should be about a month away), im going all in. but going THAT far in debt for something that isnt an immediate return on investment is very scary.

owinbush · 02-08-2014, 05:55 AM

When you make....I will buy.

***dorkidori_s13*** · 02-18-2014, 10:53 AM

bumper is going to be officially made from polyurethane. im meeting with my body shop today to finalize details on getting a jig built for the molding process. bumper SHOULD be going back to the polyurethane shop for molding sometime next week!

i should have a prototype in hand within 2-3 weeks. once i have the prototype, fitment photos will be posted and i will begin taking orders!
