do you have to use the lower trim piece to install the 180sx kouki taillights or can you use the stock piece with mods i have a good price without it, or a horrible one with it ---

I belive you can use your stock peice, but be prepaired for some fabrication, and i doubt it will look like the factory peice. Anyone can correct me if i’m wrong. ---

Inorder to use the Type-X tail lights you need the Type-X center piece too. ---

The factory 240sx centrepiece will fit, but it will look out of place. The Kouki 180sx centrepiece has a slope on it, while the 240sx centrepiece is flat so the lights will not appear flush. ---

He means the part under the reverse lights. the kouki piece is more point edged, and the us-market 240 is more rounded. check it out yourself: ![http://www.showcars-bodyparts.com/240sx-90-y002-ra_y003-rs.jpg](http://www.showcars-bodyparts.com/240sx-90-y002-ra_y003-rs.jpg) ![http://www.garagerival.com/gallery/autoxkouki/images/autox-chouki%20053.jpg](http://www.garagerival.com/gallery/autoxkouki/images/autox-chouki%20053.jpg) I think you will be fine, but it might have a bit of a hole, body shop wont charge too much, then again, you should check it out. So how much were the for those kouki’s? ---

I tell you what, when iquabob’s car is parked in my driveway, i’ll hold the stock peice up so you can compare. Then the debate will be solved, Give me a few days.
