IC: 180sx type X kouki skirts - OR - Buddy Club chuki Lip

I gota go with the sides aswell

i gotta be honest with you guys…

i like the idea of the lip right now…

reasons:

it is a rare opportunity, the kouki skirts although difficult to find are more readily available than this lip which i have never seen before in 4 years.

it would be easier and faster to reproduce because it is one mold as opposed to four

it would likely have a cheaper per unit cost

it would for sure be cheaper to pay for the mold


i do intend to do the skirts, but i thikn it will take a realtively HUGE investment on my part that i am just not capable of bearing right now.

the way i see it, making the 4 molds will ruin the immediate value of the project.

I like the lip.
Talk to us about costs. (set up … per unit cost of copies …)

Excuss my ignorance, but the lip will fit my '89 fastback right ?

i voted lip, but im also useless so it was tough :stuck_out_tongue:

the lip wont fit your 89 bumper…sorry…

but a zenki lip wil, obviously, and many should become available after this one arrives.


BY VOTING IT IS ASSUMED YOU ARE WILLING TO MAKE A DEPOSIT ON THE ITEM


if you do not intend to do so, please vote for the third option so as not to skew the data.

What kind of quality are these potential repros?

this is kinda OT but if theres any s14 love comin around anytime soon, the greddy lip is a good high demand item to have copied.

the greddy lip is only like $150 USd right now…

i could make it, but there wouldnt be much of a market for it condsidering that i would only be able to beat the genuine item by say $40 - $50 CAD.

as for the quality, i have pics of other items i had copied.

also keep in mind that these are unpainted.

when the item is prepped and painted it will look much nicer, but these look pretty good anyways.

for S14 stuff i am trying to get a 97-98 front lip to copy.

I would be in for side skirts with up to a 50$ deposit. and the 200 in 2 months. I have no need for the lip though sorry.

Bing,

I would definitely say the front lip is a better piece to copy. Like you mentioned the Kouki sides are easier to find than that front lip. I may be able to get you a set of Kouki sides come spring anyway.

names of the people who votef or the lip:

(1) Bing
(2) Sven
(3) RD_man
(4) Shift_krunk
(5) ?
(6) ?
(7) ?

but can you guys put up $50 + $2.50 paypal fees in the next 2 days?
please add and remove yourself as applicable

i will know tomorrow if i am getting this lip…

it all depends on if i win this one:

I was one of the people who voted. I don’t have paypal or a CC. Can I send you a check for the fifty bucks? I can have it sent by tomorrow morning’s mail pickup.

Also, this lip is a Veilside correct? I was looking through their site and it’s neither the E-I or the E-II… is it something older and not on their site anymore? Also that Veilside one from the auction you mentioned looks extremely similar to the East Bear lip you showed. Lots of questions I know; sorry :o

*edit Oh yeah, what’s retail pricing for the original piece?

the lip i pictured on the first page is actually unknown, but we are being told that it most closely resembles a buddy club lip

the Veilside lip is the one in the auction i just linked to. it is very obscure, and it isnt neither of the ones featured on their site.

the auction says it is an oldie.

i dont know if i will be able to win that auction.

he wont ship outside the country.

i have the auction sniped and i can have my buddy in the US pay for it and go pick it up there, but i know there are some homo’s out there with a $400 USD snipe on that lip, so i doubt i will get it.

i have the upper hand on the one in the initial poist, because it hasnt been listed yet. it is a friend in florida that i have been talking to…

he also has DJM sideskirts, but not the kouki ones.

Well I’m down for the Veilside but I don’t particularly like the Buddy Club design. So I guess I’ll wait and see how it plays out.

add me to the list for the veilside… i can paypal you the deposit whenever you need it… keep me posted.

chris

depends on if i win it or not.

i’ll buy the 180 skirts FOR SURE if you can get them made…

i want to JDM up my car and thats way cheaper than buying the real ones…

haha can u see about making the front bumper??

and did u ever get those rear valences made??

i have the rear valances for the coupe,

no one wanted to $$$ for the hatch ones so i didnt make them.

i have pictures of the buddy club mounted on a car now, i will post htem when i get them hosted tonite

the lip is sagging on the passenger side, he just did this for me for a test fit so that you guys could see pics. it was too much for him to actually get down and mount it.

those skirts are JDM ones, i can get those too, but they are $300 + shipping USD.
