Bought a kouki aero kit for my 180sx... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

paddy155 · 11-10-2012, 11:47 AM

although I have not picked it up yet. Are there any distinctive markings on the bumpers,skirts ect that show it is definetly genuine nissan product and not a copy.
Thanks.

Seriously?

OEM Nissan will always be Urethane. Knockoff is fiberglass/FRP. Pretty easy to tell the diffrence.

Utilize this fine forum feature in the future.

Not exactly. I know someone who makes copies and material used is harder and stronger than OEM.
Are there any stampings inside on the bumpers to look for ?

Well, if it's urethane it's almost certainly OEM. I have yet to see any urethane knockoffs. Also nissan parts are generally stamped with "Nissan" somewhere and they usually have part numbers as well. You don't even need to search to know this, it's called COMMON SENSE!

There is not a material stronger/more durable than OEM Urethane in regards to bumper making. The only bumpers ive ever seen are fiberglass/FRP, and Urethane. Dont make stupid threads if you already know what your talking about.

How is it making a stupid thread. I come on and ask if there are any markings or stamps on the bumpers and I get this.
Maybe it's no wonder I don't come on here all that often. Oh forgot,everyone is meant to be a JDM guru. Ever think maybe some don't really know. Think I'll ask for advice elsewhere from noow on.

You could have asked in the Small questions thread to get an answer but it seems you already know the answer.

paddy155 · 11-10-2012, 03:40 PM

Mate, I don't want to get into an arguement with you over this. Yes,I should have posted the question elsewhere and used the search button but I just needed a bit of advice that is all.

ZenKi_373 · 11-10-2012, 05:52 PM

Images of the aerodynamic ground effects in question would be more suitable for assistance with authenticating their legitimacy.

When you hold OEM, you know its OEM. No need to check for markings.
