VS bumper makes the car look short cuz it has like steap nose to it
the hood is round and soon as it hits the bumper it falls down steap.

OEM looks about right the hood flows to the bumper

I've been thinking...

maybe i'm nuts, but I think the inspiration for the kouki 180 bumper was a front wing from an F1.

see what i mean?

Question for you guys that are rocking version select IV aero did your side skirts fit like shit? Because i am about to snap them in half. How did you guys mount the rear valence?

they fit ok. but you can make them fit really good.
for the skirts
just dry fit them if it fits to tight trim the insides to make some room to slide in
use double sided tape clean and wipe the area with wax and grease remover and apply adhesion promotor so it can stick really good.

and for the rears
you might have to trim in the insides too so it can reach to the rear bumper without having that gap.

and the middle piece it might look like a smile you have to trim it down to make it straight .
well atleast thats how i got mine VS others could of prob gotten a better copy

idk to me it always looked like a dolphin or something lol thats just me

mastaflash05 · 02-05-2010, 09:18 PM

on a few of these bumpers there are rectangle vents on either side of the licence plate mount. are these aftermaret parts for this bumper, a universal part, or a part for another car? i would like to get a pair for my bumper.

Brian · 02-05-2010, 09:28 PM

GT-1 made a full FRP bumper with the vents.

They are commonly referred to as N1 Vents. Check out N1 GTRs to figure it out.

On my car, I got a set of N1 vents and put them into my bumper.

mastaflash05 · 02-05-2010, 09:55 PM

are they commonly available, or one of those search for a decade types?

avatar makes my brain hurt btw, lol.

F1 was inspired by kouki 180SX.

CamryOnBronze · 02-05-2010, 10:24 PM

^ i got your PM about the clear turns that came with my bumper from J-Land. I will post some more detailed pics of them sometime this weekend. I was wondering the same...

ZX88 · 02-05-2010, 10:29 PM

2iv0 sx · 02-05-2010, 11:08 PM

I don't think we're looking at the same car.

Taniguchi_Is_#1 · 02-06-2010, 05:45 PM

it's a little light on the aero, but it's not epically bad. i've seen worst, for example, my personal car.

Touge_Monster · 02-06-2010, 05:52 PM

Looks good for a street car

JdM_JunKiE · 02-06-2010, 06:11 PM

thanks guys. yea the kit was spray painted thats why its lighter, still trying to save up... :/

dat411kid · 02-06-2010, 06:14 PM

Yea man looks good, at least the body is not all messed up....

Taniguchi_Is_#1 · 02-06-2010, 06:16 PM

it looks fine.

Bushido · 02-06-2010, 06:23 PM

nice job on the pull on the front fenders. perfect ride height up front too!

airhead · 02-06-2010, 06:31 PM

im talking about how the car stands out.

its a vivid red its eye catchy

i know i see the skirts looks like its painted in a different color
i would say its good without spending a fortune i bet.

PoorMans180SX · 02-06-2010, 09:02 PM

Loving the fitment. 18's all around right?

JdM_JunKiE · 02-06-2010, 09:20 PM

^ yes sir

thinking of painting rims another color seems like alot of cars have that bronze/red scheme which is not bad at all but... any suggestions? White/silver? or should i just leave it?

PoorMans180SX · 02-06-2010, 09:31 PM

Leave it. It's hot. And I don't usually say that about cars rocking Rotas.

Red and white looks meh to me.
