http://www.tristatetuners.com/...63093 I'm currently working on the interior. I just redyed the carpets and sprayed the trunk black. The trunk still needs a couple more coats.

just looked at your thread. You dont have any z wheels left do you. I know it was your first post but it said you have 3 sets. Also car is still hot maybe just a s14 sr instead of a redtop lol.

If this is the car your referring to, its not mine. I just put it up to show what those wheels would look like on a kouki. Nice huh? I believe the sizes are 18x8.5+38 for the front wheels and 18x9.5+39 for the rear wheels.Im in the process of getting these 350Z wheels, keeping my fingers crossed

bumpers and aero are overrated...

[spooled240]

I like the 18" g35 coupe wheels:

these are nice too, and pretty cheap (same wheels as GDSkinked)kc's first kouki

[GSDKinked]

I like my wheels they are clean.....but I want them widened, and I will be changing the color of them. I also plan on getting a set of G35 wheels...they are so clean. But right now I'm working on getting my set of RPF1s 18x9.5 in the front and 18x10.5 in the rear. I plan doing grip/street duty on those and slide duty on the other sets.

You need a bit more tire in the front, looks kind of awkward. Can you not go any lower due to rubbing? I've seen people roll their fenders a tuck rims that size with ease, You could run a little neg camber and not even pull it. Wide fronts though, you may want to remove the fender liner

yes. the rims were actually offset for my friends g35. i had to strech tires all around, the offset is okay, but because of the width of the wheels, i can only lower the coilovers to the present height. if i try to go any lower, the inner edge of the wheel will touch the coilover... anyone have other suggestions? i didn't wanna even think about wheel spacers.. but i guess besides that, idk. oh i could roll the fenders, but it'd make no difference since the inner edge threatends me.. so im thinking about just going with different rims a either a little skinnier, or a little higher offset....

WOOT WOOT picked up PEARL white OEM kouki sideskirts and rear valences yesterday!! was gonna pick up the rear bumper but it had a little dent near tail light...and i forgot my cash so...oh well.

Spooled i really liked ur car with the z33 wheels powdercoated..i still have a pic saved on my collection of koukis.

1.Im thinking about taking off the kouki wing.....i like the way it looks from the front and slanted side but when u look at the rear just flat.....i dunno....plus a lot of people dont like it...and when i installed it i def felt a slowdown in the rear..Orido also took it off his daily cuz a lot of people didnt like it....well see..if anyones got pics of koukis with just rear bumper, rear valences, and sideskirts let me know.

2.How did u guys install teh kouki fogs? when i bought the front clip it came with it and i have the wiring and everything but dont know how....I only installed the trim so far....Honestly fogs to me are not neccesary other then the (yo i got fogs on my kouki nig)...and if i sell it i can get $250 back......

Just asking u guys cuz u guys have owned koukis longer than me.

thanks my car looks pretty pristine in these pics, it's gotten a little more thrashed since then lol

I love the way the k's wing looks from the back but that's just me. Do your car up the way you want it..if other people like it, cool..if they don't, f*** em.

Also, do you have the JDM fog lights? The USDM fogs are the same as the JDM ones but they use different brackets on the side instead of the JDM ones that have one bracket on the top and two studs on the bottom. For the most part if you have the correct fogs, they will just bolt up to the predrilled holes no problem.these are usdm fogs: these are jdm fogs:

Don't build your car so other people will like it, build it so you will like it

[mrgrape]

Don't build your car so other people will like it, build it so you will like it

no i think its doublethink....DUHH of course i build my car for myself..if they said they like the US kouki bumper...HELL no i aint doing it..... im gonna stick with JDM...

im just kind of starting to like the look of it wingless...and it DEF feels a lot better without wing IMO. im gonna have pics up soon of a rear bumper im looking at..

i dont know if its mindgames(doublethink) but to me without a wing it looks DIRTY and more DRIFT style as opposed to everything clean OEM.i think im just gonna rock Rear bumper, Rear valences, sideskirts, JDM bumper, and LOWER it with CR KAIS PAINTED in PURPLE =]

anyways anyone on here know what rear bumpers these are for kouki?MY IDEAL look is the black one first pic here: but the rest im interested in what the name of rear bumper is...and the 2nd black car, see How well the Kouki sideskirts MATCH with the rear bumper....

Here's one from the back:

I was torn between staying wingless and going with a wing but I decided to go with the k's wing and I haven't regretted it at all since. To me, the back end of the s14 looks kinda "stubby" without a wing and the k's wing kinda evens it out.

Like this:

then sHaZaM! k's wing:

OR you could just go with a VERTEX lip spoiler which is sexy:

OR you could go with this kit which is pretty aggressive and has that "natural" look...these kits are custom made and can be found at your local lumber yard. Installation requires a cut-off saw and a nail gun lol

A couple new pics from a meet last Friday night.

yeah ur car looks good with a k's wing i think primary due to valences and rear bumper, im still rocking the US rear bumper so its kind of mehh, but looks great on ur car! thats teh prime reason why i bought one lol

2.I think the aftermarket bumper i showed will help if i were to go wingless....i just need more pics to confrim lol

[spooled240]

yeah the k's wing doesn't look like it "fits" without the JDM rear bumper and valances. I think the wing actually fits better with more aggressive aero but it's OEM so it's legit.

Just keep looking at pics and more pics, don't rush the decision cuz it can't really be reversed lol But overall, just do what you think looks good..even if it is that "plywood aero" lol

Gotta be the sexiest kouki on the website. More pics please! Specs on the wheels?

spooled you are now #2 :p

[spooled240]

Haha I never knew I was #1, there are some awesome kouki's on here so the competition is tough but I can make lowering springs and 50 dollar mustang wheels look good lol

[Dazzla]

Yeah, you've been #1 in my books for awhile. Very tastefully done stuff, its been cool to watch yours transform from that sleeper 4-lugger into something much cooler :p

I'm close to finally ordering some Tein coils and I might go with the Rota P-45Rs in that hyper black.

[spooled240]

lol thanks =] my car has come a long way.

those p45R's are really nice

[GSDKinked]

I'm soo f***ing jealous of your fitment and how clean your car is. Mine was once like that......I'll be back there soon enough. Ugh......gotta get this hood painted and this car to a damn body shop.

[lunatyk]

Dazzla, please go look through the "Best looking S14 Kouki's EVER" thread...

Heres even a link for you...
