Kouki 180sx front...two-tone? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*exitspeed* · 10-12-2007, 09:33 AM

I haven't seen this as far as I remember. I searched and...nothing.

I've always wanted kouki 180 front, and now that VS has replica, I'll go that route eventually.

However I REALLY want to do two tone white pearl over champagne.

The question is, has anyone done this? How does it look? Pics?

Or am I going

?

I can do that. Just curious how people would do the line on the front bumper.

*ManoNegra* · 10-12-2007, 10:02 AM

Trying to picture it mentally but it's just doesn't seem right...

axiomatik · 10-12-2007, 10:03 AM

wait, a kouki 180 front on a coupe?

*exitspeed* · 10-12-2007, 10:09 AM

Werd...

Edit: I don't think the pic I posted was Kouki...

This car makes me say: do eet!

s13poop · 10-12-2007, 10:20 AM

^ i say photoshop those pics up there

the lines still flow very well to the front

only problem is the bumper is rounded

but not a bad idea to start with

*exitspeed* · 10-12-2007, 10:24 AM

Would the color have to stop at those vents ont he side of the front bumper?

No, have it go all the way. Just use the top of the opening in the bumper as your cut off point.

*ManoNegra* · 10-12-2007, 10:45 AM

Kouki coupe is alright, two-tone I'm not too sure about.

*exitspeed* · 10-12-2007, 10:49 AM

This color combo though is just so hot.

Well if someone feels like PS'ing it for me today, coo. Otherwise I'll do it when i get home.

s13poop · 10-12-2007, 10:49 AM

yuppp cut it off where they fog lights/ second turnsignals start

axiomatik · 10-12-2007, 11:17 AM

it would look much better with either a silvia front end or differnt aero. that just doesn't work in my eyes. a year or two ago I was looking to find aero for the popup front end that would accomodate two-tone, and I never found anything satisfactory. besides, proportion wise I think the popup front end looks better on the hatches, it looks too long on coupes.

I like looong front ends. It's a characteristic of RWD cars.

s13poop · 10-12-2007, 11:38 AM

^like a girl who has really big boobs but no ass to go with it?

coupes don't have much junk in the trunk..

i still wouldn't mind seeing it PS'ed too bad i don't have it at work or else i woulda been on it!

**ThatGuy** · 10-12-2007, 12:01 PM

Not the best, but I thought it would give you an idea.

i think if it where cut off a the vent opening its would maybe look better. maybe just have the color bleed onto the lip but not the whole front area.....

Ninjabread · 10-12-2007, 12:03 PM

My thoughts on it are that the kouki aero's shapes and curves are way too modern for a two tone.

*exitspeed* · 10-12-2007, 12:11 PM

ThatThanks.

I just love two tone though. Who knows. Maybe I'll be the first to do it (in like 2010

)

I hope the new 240 is offered in two tone. That's what I'll get.

adrians_s13 · 10-12-2007, 12:06 PM

not boxy enough for a two-tone... but kouki front on a coupe is sexy

Ninjabread · 10-12-2007, 12:33 PM

Well it seems like old paint schemes are making their way back to new production cars, so maybe you'll get lucky.

It's just Kouki, it's not "type X".

No, it sounds like you're an idiot fanboy, that doesn't know any better, trying desperately to look cool. Now that isn't how you want to sound, is it?

I'd hope not.

Yea that's the hard part. I think the black strip makes the TT's too. This might be dead in the water, but it was a good idea.

(i figured i would ask you..)

was the lip on the type-x a factory option for the type-x, or was it standard with every one of them? also, is there any difference between the kouki front bumper, and the front bumper found on the type-x? or were you just correcting him in the way that a type-x is an entire car, while kouki is the style of bumper. ....if that makes any sense. lol
