Conversion feed back

Sup guys, its been a while. I'm going to be doing conversion fenders & hoods in carbon fiber, carbon fiber / kevlar and fiber glass and I will offer them far below retail. I would like to get some feed back from you guys and find out which conversion(s) would be the most popular and in what material. My guys will create the fenders and hoods and we will personally test fit all products before we sell. Please let me know asap, we're planning to do an S14 Kouki conversion for my S14 in a couple months to test fit and see how things progress. The first test we will be making replicas of OEM fenders and hood. We may even go into doing the Kouki JDM signal lights and adapting the rear of the signals housing to fit the US signal bulbs (this eliminates the splicing you would have to do if you purchased the JDM signal lights).

All you would really need to complete the Kouki conversion would be the head lights and corner lights. But we are open to any and all ideas / feed back.

As stated, we are in a testing faze for import cars starting off with the OEM S14 parts and expanding from there, if there is a high demand for a different conversion, point us in the right direction and we will get right on it!

Thanks in advance!

I would suggest a replica zenki s14 lip in a $150 price range. Dealerships sell them for around $200-$400.

Where can I obtain a clean / straight S13 lip? I'll have it sent to my guys and have a price for you as soon as they have it in their hands.

Is this the lip they use on the SE model? If so, I'll have them replicate that as well

The JDM OEM S14 Kouki bumper is one of our first tests. The Kouki 180sx bumper is the one with the side vent right? AKA Type X bumper? If it is, I'll have it sent to my guys as well!

We will also replicate the S14 Kouki JDM OEM side skirts and rear bumper w/ valance set for the quarter panel to match the rear bumper, and dont forget the Kouki rear JDM / OEM wing / spoiler.

To clarify, we're talking about the S13 USDM front end? (180sx?) Or is it the S13 Silvia front end?

Do you have a picture of the JDM Zenki bumper by chance? US Nismo catalog only carries Kouki... Sad if u ask me, they should carry both Zenki and Kouki S14 bumpers and what not. I know they have type X bumper in the catalog... somewhere... I'll find it, jus gotta go buy another Nismo catalog from dealer. No biggie.

S14 to S15 conversion my bad, I didnt specify, I'm in the middle of the conversion so i dont think you would have the parts in time for my conversion, but im sure theres other people out there that want to do it, but its too expensive.
