Aero for my car. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

punxva · 12-03-2007, 06:33 AM

ok guys help me out with picking a new front and rear bumper, i've got s13 silvia oem sideskirts, but don't really want rear valences. And i do not have an unlimited budget, but i don't want to buy cheap bad fitting aero, so here are my picks, help me decide or offer a better suggestion.

here's some pics of each to help those who don't know what they look like

180sx type-x front

Version Select V. 6

Version Select V. 4

Vertex

eds13 · 12-03-2007, 06:51 AM

vertex is teh sexorz. but with stock sideskirts its gonna look gay

punxva · 12-03-2007, 07:04 AM

yea, i'm really trying to find something that will look good with the silvia oem skirts

**mrmephistopheles** · 12-03-2007, 07:10 AM

1. it's not 'type x' - just 'kouki'
2. nothing outside of OEM will look right with OEM skirts. The VS:V6 is just kouki 180sx front bumper with lip, but in one piece and with lic. plate holder shaved.
3. #2 should tell you my vote (either one is fine)

punxva · 12-03-2007, 07:11 AM

how do yall think D-max kit would look?

90KAcoupe · 12-03-2007, 07:15 AM

how about a pignose with oem lip. it looks amazing with the silvia side skirts

punxva · 12-03-2007, 07:17 AM

i've got a chuki with pignose, and i'm looking at real aero now

Taniguchi_Is_#1 · 12-03-2007, 08:28 AM

if keeping the silvia skirts is a MUST, then v:s version 6 is the only way to go. well..... you could buy my bings lip, too. haha.

punxva · 12-03-2007, 08:47 AM

well not an absolute, i just figured since i already had them. the only thing i dont like about the version 6 is the valences, i just think they look funny installed.

punxva · 12-03-2007, 09:07 AM

i was just browsing yaj, and came across this, i wouldn't mine a kouki bumper and this as the rear valence...

Antihero983 · 12-03-2007, 09:32 AM

dude, that D-max bumper is teh sex!

its good to see a front bumper that incorporates some of the style of the Chuki nose!

Isn't origin expensive ish? he said hes kinda on a limited budget. My vote is for the vertex kit. If it looks weak with silvia skirts then just buy them at a later date. I hope this is just a street car and doesn't see the track often. I would hate to see someone spend more money than needed on aero just to smash it.

nevaland9 · 12-03-2007, 01:45 PM

vertex > origin
sex and price wise
vertex kits are mad more $$$

*downshift_sideways* · 12-03-2007, 01:48 PM

Leave it alone. The car looks real good how it is.

I only mentioned the Origin kits because they seem to go a long with what he may be after. As for price Origin kits tend to cost well under a thousand. Plus the kits are, relatively, easy to source within the continental US.

Ninjabread · 12-03-2007, 04:06 PM

Why isn't there an option for "chose on your own'

It's YOUR car, YOU decide what you want on it

It also vastly depends on what wheels you want to run. If you're going with some easy-breezy (beautifull cover girl) wheels, oem anything is good.

Doing agressive ones? get a full kit, most of them you posted are ok.

AznDrftr. · 12-03-2007, 04:35 PM

your car, your own taste. pick it cuz you like it.

Full-Lock · 12-03-2007, 05:15 PM

version select V6 definatly.
coolest aero for 180sx..

but

what wheels are you going with? that has a big deal to do with it

mrmeph has one of those. it's an old g-grow valence apparently.

punxva · 12-04-2007, 07:42 AM

i'm not 100% on wheels yet, i'm really saving up to buy some nice ass 5-lugs, since i'va already got 30mm Z brakes sitting in my room, so i just need to pick up some hubs, since they WestCo justin has them on sale.

cxlo8331 · 12-04-2007, 09:36 AM

kouki front.

lbsam · 12-04-2007, 12:49 PM

Voted on vertex, but only if you get the real deal.. not the knock off crap..

ROUGE180 · 12-04-2007, 02:01 PM

Vertex or Kouki.. Both of those are sick. Vertex Ridge is sweet too.

j4d3_h4v0k · 12-04-2007, 03:20 PM

+1 for origin pieces

Get that shit (G-Grow or G-corp i assume?)

done

punxva · 12-05-2007, 06:11 AM

yeah i'm going to try getting grant to pick that up for me, if he can find one around him.

Team Aero-K · 12-05-2007, 03:11 PM

wait, what about works9......It is easy to get, if you know the right people. Check it out!

PoorMans180SX · 12-05-2007, 03:21 PM

I have always liked the M-sports front, and I think the VS kit looks even better (the front bumper is slightly different). It doesn't go very low in the front either, so it might work with your sideskirts. IDK, I'd have to see it.

I've said this before, but I think the Kouki bumper is too busy. There are a couple bumpers based off the Kouki that look good, but I'm not for Version 6.
