chinabean · 09-20-2011, 10:58 PM

yes I'm throwing in a complete install kit as well.. I put a lot of time and money in this project I'm not going to skimp out on a few pieces. Since these valances will reflect my reputation on the forum, I want to have them as complete with the highest quality possible. As of the price I don't have one yet.

twistedsymphony · 09-21-2011, 09:30 AM

Is it possible to make a version of these with just the lower part and still have it fit right?

As in, cutting it along the lowest point of the indent so it no longer has the flat part up against the body.

If these are cheep enough I'd be tempted to buy one just to try it.

Right on man! I'm running the Zenki aero on mine b/c, well, it's a zenki but if I wasn't I would hit you up. Way to do something the best it can be done.

I fell ya on missing those J-Lines, I'm running 7SL2's and love them

gunmetalr32 · 09-21-2011, 08:09 PM

i took a early out so i can take some pictures on the fitment and a quick how to install. i got a better camera

ok first you need a jdm kouki rear bumper, rear valances ,hardware and 3m double sided tape

here is what you need to install
hardware

3m double sided tape (don't go cheap and get anything else)

1/2 an inch is oem and is what i recommend as well

then find the mounting locations (where the rear mud flap would mount to)

then add the plastic locking fasteners

there is anther mounting location under the rear quarter panel.

remove the plastic cap to reveal the mounting hole

add the plastic locking fastener

this is where the mounting bracket is going to mount to

THEN YOU CLEAN THE VALANCES WITH 3M CLEANING/ADHESIVE BOUNDING WIPES AND APPLY 3M DOUBLE SIDED TAPE WHERE THE VALANCES AND THE BODY MEET!!!!
______ NO PICTURES YET..... SORRY_______

screw in valances

mounting bracket underneath

mounting locations where the mud flaps would bolt up to

NOTICE THAT ONLY ONE HOLE LINES UP.. THESE ARE (OEM VALANCES) AND THE OTHER HOLE IS NOT USED.. THE OTHER 3 MOUNTING HOLE AND THE 3M DOUBLE SIDED TAPE WILL HOLD THE VALANCES IN PLACE.

underneath the at the other end of the valances you drill a hole in the bumper

and add the plastic locking push plugs

here is how it fits with out the last plastic locking push plug

(OEM)

without pressure

these are mine

without pressure

Very nice work! I will be needing a set soon, so if priced fairly I would take a set too.

i think they will leave a big gap.. the way they are made it would look like it would need to be molded inwards

i just hope people see that these are made with high quality materials and are made one at a time, with man hands. these are not cheap Chinese stuff .. quality is #1.. and people give me shit all the time for selling my jlines.. i miss those things

Thanks for the support.. And you are getting the 1st set. I couldn't be happier on the way they came out.. Again thanks.u

damn i would be sooooooo interested in this.... but i live in hawaii. and most sellers don't like to ship to hawaii =/

gunmetalr32 · 09-30-2011, 07:59 PM

I already shipped some to hawaii.. Not a problem

*Wake* · 09-30-2011, 08:17 PM

Do kouki s13 lips

And silvia lips that fit better than pignose lips.
I will personally send you a good condition complete pignose lip that you can cut up to make molds if you make a decent silvia lip out of it.

guarantee I can either find 10 people for a deposit, or pay it myself.

RPS13_NISMO KNIGHT · 09-30-2011, 08:24 PM

Damn very good work bro I give u props for being patient and taking ur time and actually doing the right way

You have got to be joking?

Navan rears sell quicker than a 2 hour midnight session with Beyonce.

thanks man I appreciate it.. A lot of love went into this.. Next I'm thinking about making a front lip.. I just bought a greddy lip yesterday and I think I'm going to modify it

bardabe · 09-30-2011, 11:01 PM

When you are done and producing these, start making OEM Silvia Rear valances for S13 coupes

*Wake* · 09-30-2011, 11:07 PM

I was going to suggest that but figured he wouldnt since so many people do already.

Making ones that dont fit like complete obliterated ass could be profitable though.

2402NV · 10-01-2011, 04:20 PM

I'll be interested in a set whenever you have a price.

brewster240 · 10-01-2011, 04:37 PM

good stuff. pm when they are available.

Smurf_240SX · 10-01-2011, 04:48 PM

I see them sell for $165 and they come up more often than kouki valances... If I would make the price would be around $230 I don't think it would be worth it
