180 type x aero question (kit or add on)

ok so iv tried researching and i just have a few questions regarding oem type x.. (yes iv googled) so did type x cars have special lips/valences added for aero or were they full complete bumpers.. i have found "oem lips" and "oem bumpers" just wondering which was which, such as full type x sideskirt or just a valence/lip added to it.. i would love end product to look like the added pics.. and i think iv decided to go with a b sport kit from duraflex http://www.duraflexbodykits.com/1989...-p-267320.html because its close enough to a type x.. (and yes i know true 180sx has a front license plate holder)

Sorry watching sharknado with friends at the moment waiting out tornados lol.. sorry for ranting but wondering if oem was full bumper or lip

oem front lip and bumpers are separate parts. i believe the lip is discontinued so its really rare/expensive when you come across a real one.

There is a rep bumper that has the lip already molded to it... but again its a rep and mostly fiberglass.... I personally have the OEM bumper with a rep lip.... i been searching for a real lip for quite some time now.

The lips will look like this separate from the bumper.

OEM 180sx front lip (black and white)


Look closely on the passenger side and you'll see the manufacture's stampings. Not so much on the black one, but it's there.

Side skirts have 2 parts per side. Like this from kriskouki's for sale thread
http://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=563572

Hatchback 240s and 180s have the same rear bumper, I believe. 180s just with separate rear valences which are 3 pieces.

Sorry cant really upload pics cause im on my phone right now and currently not near a computer
