Nissan USA asked that I post this poll.

veilside180sx · 02-12-2009, 11:55 PM

Urethane is the one that should be purchased, because it's by far the most durable.

Yeah, other company's make fiberglass copies. The best thing from an OEM would be Urethane.

*allntrlundrgrnd* · 02-13-2009, 01:16 AM

+1 for urethane

jrocslider · 02-13-2009, 02:33 AM

yes, urethane is the best choice but how many people are gonna say "i'll definitely buy it if it comes out" and when it does they have an excuse for not buying the bumper because they dont want to spend that much money or dont have that much to spend.

i'm not saying the price is out of the ordinary because that's how much a kouki 180SX front bumper and accessories is in the range after all necessary items are purchased. i'm just saying that i dont think that as much people that say they will buy the bumper when it comes out will actually do so for being broke or other reasons.

its great to see Nissan still wanting to produce items that people actually want for older cars like ours.

aoiken3 · 02-13-2009, 02:49 AM

even IF its high quality, in the end, its still fiberglass. its like saying high quality fat chicks. out of these choices, urethane is def the way to go

I vote for carbon kevlar because that would be very durable while keeping weight at a minimum. Also it would be madd baller.

shinhed · 02-13-2009, 06:48 AM

How about an S15 chassis reproduction instead?

***ThatGuy*** · 02-13-2009, 07:04 AM

Urethane or nothing

*Flicktitty* · 02-13-2009, 10:07 AM

urethane.....what are they thinking of making?

*spngr311* · 02-13-2009, 11:20 AM

I wish there were more urethane kits available in general.

*bloodangels13* · 02-13-2009, 12:01 PM

urethane all the way... i would buy like 2 of them so i would have spare for my current car or another s13 i build

*PoorMans180SX* · 02-13-2009, 03:41 PM

They should make a Kouki 180SX bumper without the license plate frame.

And yes on the urethane.

skylove · 02-13-2009, 06:25 PM

Urethane hands down

frp

rock it break it replace it!

o1roadkingrider · 02-13-2009, 10:10 PM

The fiberglass looks great to me, but then I haven't seen it in person at this point. I have my past experience with Corvettes to draw on only.

Can someone explain why I should not buy fiberglass? Any pictures?

*drift freaq* · 02-13-2009, 10:49 PM

Wait a minute Nissan USA is interested in this stuff at this late stage?

Hello Nissan USA you missed the boat by 5 years.

S13 has turned into the cheap I don't want to pay shit for shit lowballing kiddies car. Its over. They won't pay for it anyways. LOL

bigOdom1 · 02-13-2009, 11:56 PM

ill humor the thread and say urethane, but could not agree more with above

*INeedNewTires* · 02-14-2009, 01:06 PM

urethane, should make it for S14 as well, and shave/delete the licence plate square cutout. i'd buy it for sure

s13_kidd · 02-14-2009, 03:12 PM

urethane like the pignose, right?

All OEM bumpers from Nissan are urethane.

9s13Coupe3SX · 02-14-2009, 10:04 PM

*punn303* · 02-15-2009, 01:19 AM

RedStage · 02-15-2009, 09:45 AM

ABS plastic will crack and shatter much easier than urethane.

s0apgun · 02-15-2009, 08:31 PM

urethane of course

that why i'd go oem over some replica

also a reason why shineauto is so attractive

*Slideways^Jordan* · 02-16-2009, 01:22 AM

I would say, yes on the urethane but at a very very affordable price then they can make the fiberglass a little cheaper then the cost of the urethane and they would be set. My .02 cents
