so it's settled, the chuki s13 is a bull shark, and the kouki s14 is a tiger shark

*grumpy tiger shark is grumpy

Sharknose is used more outside the US/JPN, i guess people are starting to use it more here now too.

Before i moved out here, i never used Chuki, Zenki or Kouki

It was Sharknose/Sharky, Pignose/Piggy and TypeX.

I don't know if I'd go as far as even calling them "identical..."

they're similar.... but to the trained eye... you can tell a difference.

the fitment with the wheels.

When I put zenki fenders on (I went through 2 driverside zenki fenders after my oe chuki), I get like 1/2 - 1" gap (up and outward) between fender and wheel/tire.

When I finally found someone selling chuki fenders... it closed up the gaps. Fitment was spot on and I was flush again!

but I wouldn't expect you to know about wheel fitment WC...

hehe jk
