Kouki S14 Bumper Design -->Reality - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

OBEEWON · 01-08-2013, 09:02 AM

A while back I entered a design contest for a new S14 Kouki bumper design. Thanks to the overwhelming support of friends and fellow drivers, car enthusiasts (some who don’t even own a S14) my design won. Aerokit will be making my bumper design a reality. I am extremely excited and thankful. Now I need to buy another S14.

I posted up here but forgot that links to FB were not permitted so it was deleted. But I know some people voted for me and I want to thank anyone who did.

Dope! Congrats bro I would buy one if I was running a kit, it looks really good. That design with a origin hood would be amazing.

zo0d · 01-08-2013, 09:15 AM

Cool man. Is this the finished product? No turn signals? Any rear shots?

Tuloabe617 · 01-08-2013, 09:17 AM

Congrats, this looks freshhhhh. Any estimate on pricing? Extended or Limited production?

Seems like it was just a front bumper not an enitire kit but i may be wrong.

Maiku240sxS14 · 01-08-2013, 09:23 AM

Very cool, any love for us Zenki peeps?

*fliprayzin240sx* · 01-08-2013, 09:24 AM

It got like a Works9 flair to it...I kinda like it.

Thanks a lot man. Yes I was actually thinking of that style hood when I was going through ideas. I will probably do an Origin hood or something along that line when I get mine.

No turn signals. My intent was the corner lights would be re-wired as turn signals leaving the bumper to be more simple.

Bingo. This was a contest just for the front bumper. I would love to design a whole new kit for the S14 as I have issue with most of the rear bumpers. I want to do some spoilers too. Maybe in the future.

They just started the production process today so I have not heard anything. I will keep everyone posted here if and when I hear anything though.

Man sadly this contest was specific only to a Kouki bumper. I love Zenki's so maybe I can convince them to do up one for the Zenki with some more drawings.

digg it,..and the art work

good jarb mang

xoxide · 01-08-2013, 10:18 AM

I like it.. a lot actually. Can't wait to see it on a car.

KOUKIboy · 01-08-2013, 10:31 AM

Congrats man!!!! that is really good looking bumper!!!! I would rock it!!!

kOOpA · 01-08-2013, 10:45 AM

That's an insane opportunity, man. Congrats!

It would be cool to see US companies doing more things like this, rather than knocking off Japanese designs. I'm sure a lot of people would buy US original designs if they actually looked good, like this!

AKsamuraiS14 · 01-08-2013, 10:45 AM

Looks great man!!

I'm interested to see if u can point me in the right directions BC I went to school for industrial design and I have a lot of aero kits designed for a lot of different applications. If u can pm me where I can go to send my designs that would be great. Thanks man and congrats

If I recall correctly, this was just a fan-submission bumper design contest.

drscooper · 01-08-2013, 10:59 AM

looks good man! getting rid of the sc300 then?

240drifter1 · 01-08-2013, 11:31 AM

That is legit as fuck. Props to you sir, cant wait to see it being used, and hopefully someone gets it that knows what there doing.

slideslidegnarslide · 01-08-2013, 11:48 AM

Reminds me of something BMW would make

K_style · 01-08-2013, 11:53 AM

Well done !!!! Nice to see somebody actually care for Kouki once in a while.. LOL

I agree with different hood, that would make it super aggressive!!!

I hope to keep one of them. I will get rid of two of them and buy another S14 hopefully. Unless I can find a RB25 S14 to trade all three for.

Thanks man. Cool, I did IDT as well. It's stupid hard and competitive. This was just a design competition. Ive been entering competitions this past year, which sucks because you don't get paid even if you win. I'm hoping to use any winnings as portfolio stuffers and to make contacs/network through doing so.

jordaninnovations · 01-08-2013, 12:23 PM

Looks like the C class front

I like it

Really good stuff! I'll get one before I find another kouki.

I wish I had the computer awareness you do. I'm still drawing with pencil and paper.

rbs14kouki · 01-08-2013, 02:07 PM

This look realy good ! Congrats
