Authentic Kouki wing? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Yes I tried searching, I found many, many for-sale threads of Authentic K's wings and I can not tell any explicit similarities or differences, and not threads helping tell an Authentic K's wing.

Sooo I'm in the process of selling my K's wing and going Rocket Bunny. It came with the car when I originally bought it. However before I sell it, I'd like to know if it is Authentic, or a replica.

On one base, it has the numbers '96030 80f00'. It's really hard to tell since it's partially chipped away.. but what looks like it miiiiiiiight be a Nissan logo? I'm not sure at all (see pic - I drew it in where I think is the logo). On the other base is a stamp saying '62129001'.

I'll let the pics do the talking:

EDIT: I'm not willing to ship this thing, sorry should have made that clear.

I still don't get why people call it a K's wing... it's a kouki wing, doesn't matter if it's Q's or K's, it's the same wing.
but from what I can tell, yes, it's authentic. google that part number and you'll find a few for sale threads for that wing and the part number.

there are threads for this. such as the identify this thread. i'll give you 20 bucks for it though.

For some reason I was under the false impression that only 'K' trim levels had the wing.

I tried Bing and nothing came up... guess that serves me right. But you're correct. No idea how I forgot about that thread. Anyway semi-pointless thread I guess. Thanks for posting though.

Now just to get some Rocket Bunny rear overfenders ... RHDjapan has them... but half the site is in english and half the site is in spanish for me.... FUuuu.

I might be wrong BUT: usually knockoffs are fiberglass copies while OEM are plastic like Zenki lips and s14 USDM wing material. Right?

rob22 · 04-28-2011, 09:50 PM

Right. Except after an hour of tapping and inspecting by me and a couple buddies we couldn't determine the material.. derrrp.

Thanks man. And again sorry for the semi-pointless thread. I at least hope that now when people google something like "How to tell authentic kouki wing" this thread will be somewhere in the mix.

OEM wings are fiberglass. Break one in half and youll see.
