kouki check in (s14)

[lunatyk]

do you guys drive with your high beams on? i feel like i'd be blinding the fck out of on coming traffic if i were to haha...

[FusionR300zx]

you just put your "passing" switch on right? Kouki's look crazy with just the high's on

whats the passing switch?the pass side headlights works when it wants too...and the color/brightness of the high's make the other light hard to see.

[FusionR300zx]

your exhaust is REALLY low in the back.jeezz.

[turbo2nr]

[peters14gc]

Were you trying to sell your car on autotrader?

[brizanden]

I think he painted the chrome shroud in the headlights black. I personally don't like the look but it does look pretty damn aggressive.

[invain]

Did all you guys with that lip just order one through a Nissan dealer? God I want one so bad but i've heard they are expensive as hell.

[ramman434]

well that and the corners are alot clearer. almost as clear as the headlight. mine are not at all like that.

I'm glad you guys like the look. I baked the headlights, corners, and turn signals. Wet-sanded the chrome parts w/3 different grits of sandpaper, then spray painted them a flat black. I really like the way they came out. I wanted it to look as aggressive as possible. Now I just need to do the HID retro-fit.

Invain, I lucked out and picked up my lip from someone in Cali off of Zilvia.

If any of yall were at Import Alliance in Nashville this past weekend, I was there w/the car.

[brizanden]

can i get some pics of the front at night? i might do something similar to my corners. i hate how they look yellowish compared to the clear main housing.

[spooled240]

I kinda like the amber'd corners, I wonder if they will look good with stock looking headlights. Did you use the special paint for lenses?

[Dittoz7]

FINA FCKING LY! too bad its auto and ghetto as hell but whatever for 3,800 its nice

you going to countyline august 3rd? and go to the meet on wednesday i wanna see this car lol

I Should Be Able To Make It If Nothing Pops Up.Wednesday Meets Where?

[98koukile]

I think the amber looks good just because of the color of his car... there are a few colors it looks good on

[ricebow_240sx]

Time to whore out some new pics after getting fixed from being backed into:

New JDM grille and you've already seen the tail lights

DAMN IT! i love your kouki, the tail lights.

This is just of the corners, but you can't tell too well since the flash reflects off the projectors:

[FusionR300zx]

[turbo2nr]

[brizanden]

I'm not going to lie, I lol'd.

Brizanden, I'll try to get some night pics for you in just a bit...

thx man they look better then stock def. so you sanded the inside of the front of the lense (like took all the ridges off) on the corners to get them more clear? or did u just get straight clear lenses?

[ramman434]

The lenses themselves I didn't touch. I simply pulled the lenses off the lights and wet-sanded and painted all chrome parts. I didn't touch the reflector parts though. They may appear clearer because the light isn't reflected off of the silver/chrome paint that's now black in the lights.

[brizanden]

hmm. really. did u start off corse then go to fine or the opposite?

[ramman434]

I went from coarse to fine. I have no idea what type of grit it was though. My dad had an unopened package of like 5 diff. grits of paper sitting in the garage so I decided to put them to use. Came out great though and I'm extremely happy w/them. I get comments from local Kouki owners alot about them. The car looks alot more aggressive than normal.

Sidenote: The great part about painting the chrome in the headlights is there are 2 minuscule screws holding them in place. So they pop off w/ease which means no masking off the projector or anything

[brizanden]

i think im gonna just save up for these. cause i want the corners to be white when lite like my main lenses.but thanks for the info
