S14: Which aftermarket bumper will fit the OEM fogs? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Triadz101 · 01-19-2008, 12:05 PM

I'm getting a bodykit but was wondering which one fits the oem fogs, when I bought the car (KA) it was great seeing them, swapped the SR with sidemount, still loved it, but now with the damn FMIC, all summer long I had no fogs and I miss the look of the yellow road

Which front bumper (NOT going OEM, because the last bumper took me a long time to make everything fit and I want something different.

wait, you don't want OEM cuz it didn't fit right...how will aftermarket make that better?

Get different fogs.

There isn't any replacement bumper made that retains the OE fogs in their original location, and most intercooler setups force deletion as well unless you modify. I kept mine by cutting the front section of the frame rails completely off and pushing the intercooler back far enough to sit on top of the lower core support. You can plumb the outlets up higher or on top as well, but nothing else will allow direct fitment.

I know aftermarket won't fit better, but I'm asking if anyone knows of any with larger openings so I'd be able to fit my fogs (like the origin stylish\aggressive)

I used to work at a bodyshop so I know how to make it fit

if not, I'll go back to my old work and get it done from the real pro's

Problem is, there's plenty of bumpers with large enough openings, but the shape and contour of the lights don't blend with any of them. It's like putting a round peg in a square hole, sure it foes in but it doesn't look right. The design of the Zenki fogs lends to them flowing with the bumper, not just sitting there in a big opening with gaps all around them.

Change fog lights....done and done. OEMs fog lights are too fucking bulky and have shietty lighting anyways.

Triadz101 · 01-20-2008, 10:56 AM

I was afraid of that

Oh well, aftermarket ftw, plus I can sell my OEM fogs for prolly the same price as new one's

Thanks guys!
