I thought the great find was because it is wingless? Why put a wing on a perfect condition trunk lid?

battosaii930 05-09-2007 10:56 AM

i like the jdm kouki wing but it has different holes then the US SE wing and $32 beats trying to patch up some holes but i havnt decided yet depends on how it looks i might just keep it wingless

If you lived in SoCal, I woulda asked if I could borrow that trunk lid and make a mold out of it. I need a trunk lid and Kouki front end w/ JDM Kouki Front bumper cover. I'm planning on making carbon parts, sucks that my truck has the fruity US SE wing... Oh yeah, the real JDM Kouki wing will fit the US trunk lid holes. We did that on a Zenki model and Kouki model S14. But its rare to find a genuine Kouki wing.

Also wanted to say, dude you got ubber lucky on that tool box, it retails for like 2000 for the bottom box. The upper tool box costs like 800 - 1000.

***I take it back, the top box cost 1500 in their catalog.***

+10 for the super finds!

battosaii930 05-09-2007 11:03 AM

nice i like i hope mine comes out atleast half as good lol

hmm then ill keep both lids one wingless and one with a jdm kouki wing and i can switch my look around when i want lol

what kind of trunk lid do you need NIsmo Knight? i have a 95 S14 wingless lid. its not mint per se, cuz it was rattle can and i switched to jdm badges, so the emblem area is a little blemished, but other than that its pretty smooth.

NiSmO Knight 05-09-2007 11:36 AM

After I get my FN01RC's, Im going wingless. Then I'll debate over Kouki JDM wing or stay wingless. I just flat out hate this stupid US wing. Make my car look the ghey...

I might blow some of my $ this summer for the rims... I need lighter rims so badly... 350Z rims kill about 50 - 75 miles off a tank of gas for me... Not to mention I need a clutch soon, I have it, but saving for a lighter flywheel. so much to do, so little time... and money...

I'm basically looking for both lids, We know there will be people who want a carbon version of the Kouki wing, so why not take the extra step and make the lid as well? Hubert Young threw in that suggestion, so we're planning to make both lids. The one for the JDM wing will have "indentations" in the areas that will need to be drilled for it, or if you order both the wing and lid, we will prolly attach the wing to the lid for you. Not sure if doing the attaching before shipping will be cost effective tho.
