Yea, and the only place closest I've found for the VS kit was in Calgary which isn't too bad. I'm probably just going to have it shipped to my sponsor's shop as it's cheaper business to business.

It isn't already?

indeed ....

[CrimsonRockett]

To me, it's not a matter of if it's "played out", it's how clean you can pull it off.

There's hundreds(if not thousands) of people rocking Kouki aero.

Some with rattle can paint jobs, others with Maaco paint jobs, and lastly, those with professional paint jobs.

They might have the same exterior parts, but the "finish" makes all the difference in the world.

Same goes for buying real and knock off parts.

Build two S13's. One out of nothing but real quality parts and another out of knock offs.

Sure, they might look the same(at a glance), but the S13 with real parts WILL outperform the car built with knock off parts.

You better ask Eric Castro about this...

[CrimsonRockett]

We've already had that discussion before.

In the end, it always comes down to personal preference.

Some people like their shit to look...well, like shit.

Others actually care enough to spend the time(and money) to have things done right.

So far everyone one here doesn't really want to ship to me and I don't really blame them, but fml, i want!!!!

I'm near Detroit, which wouldn't be THAT bad of a hike for you if you really wanted a kouki front- about 4.5 hours. Shoot me a PM and maybe we could find a solution for you!

And I agree about something like this being "played out." It's a stock bumper that came on the car... how can it become played out? I never knew such a thing even existed until I joined the Nissan/240 realm, lol.

Find me some Red Wings stuff please.

[lflkajfj12123]

the hype is over everyone

[Martino]

Hmm. I might be out in Chicago during the summer months.
This might actually work.
I'll keep both of you posted I guess.

[PoorMans180SX]

The more I study the VS kit vs OEM the more I dislike the VS. I was considering it. Not anymore.

I was just joshin, type-X is timeless. Rauh Welt reinvents Porsche every year, As long as artistry and passion are involved some things will never die.

But I agree quality and finish is everything.

... I do hope we see another G-corporation 180sx aero kit somewhere here in the US. It would be a refreshing new trend.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

type x has been played out since august 1996. we are 13 years late to the party.

[Matej]

It's funny when people in Japan put eurotails and Origin aero on their Type-X.

[Bubbles]

What................the..................fuck.

Would've been awesome if Brian had actually painted his car that color and was really that low.

Thanks for letting us down Brian.

[mothon]

Can somebody do that picture in red too just for fun?

[CrimsonRockett]

"Type-X" looks best on bright colors imo.
