Well the headlamps for the Kouki are hella expansive but I love the look and the OE Japanese bumper is elegant to boot.

What I was wondering (and I thought I've seen it before) was to get the fenders, hood and bumper and still utilze the Zenki headlamps and Kouki corners... to 'tide me over' until I can get the Kouki's.

Or for that matter could I get a Kouki reinforcement bar and the JDM bumper and run them with my Zenki headlamps and fenders?

1 fender, 1 corner lamp and my reinforcement bar are all bunk anyways so if I'm to make the change, now is the time. Otherwise I'm just going to look for a subtle or OE R33 look-a-like bumper to make the Zenki front at home.

Thanks,~Kris

I dont think it works, the hood of the kouki is different, and it wouldnt latch with the zenki headlights. Zenki corners are round on the end, kouki corners are square on the end.

ive done the conversion, it ont work with what your asking.#1 the kouki hood would never close on the zenki lights.#2 nor would the kouki bumper, their are all intertwined and fit nicely on each model.

besides it would look horrible, ive seen the opposite, a zenki with kouki lights in it.... terrible the gap between the panels looks horrible.

and i tried to fit the zenki bumper up to the kouki headlights just to see it it would work, but it doesnt, the bumper fits the headlights and cornerlights into it slightly at the meeting points for better fitment

imo: just wait, do it right... its not a cheap conversin but i did it. and after selling my zenki i only spent about 400 max.

srry to break it to you bro.
