Got into an accident

[jame5x]

Hey all,

I just got into an accident today. A BMW turned right into me causing the damages below. He was at a complete stop in what looks like he was going to make a right turn. I see green light head while I see him stopped on the far right side. Looks like I will need new valances. Does anyone know how much OEM kouki valances go for?

WTF is the point of this thread? To discuss your minor fender bender or to ask how much kouki 180sx valences go for? Either way...

[s14j]

thats a s14!
but regardless this is a stupid reason to make a thread. buy new valences get them painted, carry on with life.
there are bunch of oem kouki valences on the FS section.

[silviasandbeer]

honestly that looks like major damage!
yikes, your crap outta luck, i dont know how your gunna bounce back from this one
valences are like $10,000 each! plus they are super hard to find, people are never I mean N E V E R selling these

LOL douches...I just wanted to see how much they go for retail. I will probably need to provide that to the insurance company. BTW, I don't consider this a "fender bender". My car is no longer drivable. Mods you may lock this thread.

How is your car no longer drivable?

Why wouldn't you ask about the things that keep your car from being a driving car instead of the valances?

Didn't you buy those valances that were already on? How much were those? There's your answer.

Are your wheels okay?

Look at the 2nd picture. Seems like the accident caused "toe out". Or it might just be the angle of the pic messing with me.

Google and the Zilvia search function holds your answer. Stop being lazy.

looks like the VSXX took the brunt of the impact...was your alignment fucked before the accident? probably bent a control arm, valences are quite inconsequential... look up urethane repair.

or a good opportunity to get these:

Dude! I found them! I dug, and dug, and dug!

Hardwork paid off!

Did you think I didn't search before I created this thread? The search mostly came up with forcewerks and old FS threads. I just wanted to know what the going rate was for OEM.


Reece - I'm not worried about the other parts as I think they're easily replaceable (toe arm, rucas) as I see them all the time in the FS threads.

Bushido - The wheels does not seem to be damaged. Just rubbed onto his bumper but then again, it did bend my toe arm so not so sure. It looks ok though but will know more when I have it towed to a shop. I may just have to get the valances repaired.

rear toe arm is a ton cheaper than a new wheel lol

just inconvenient waiting for a new one.

my recommendation for rear valances is Dorkidori.. his fitment is SPOT ON. and rear valances don't need to be urethane, they don't see any force or resistance.

Dorkidori? Could you send me a link? I only see s13 parts on their website.


Could someone send me links for the valances new or used. Needs to be a shop. The body shop will need to order them for me. I've seen forcewerks ones, anyone have experiences with them?

There kinda hard to find bro. Ive seen them go from 3-4 bills. Just keep looking you will find them eventually.

Turns out this is not facebook! Shocker right? A simple search will reveal your answer.
